    Obviously writing it will help but reading and understanding other's code is much more helpful at both reading and writing it. The more you read code the better you will get at rea…

    I hate these stories since all they do is scare investors out of the market only to see then come back in at a higher price than they sold at. If you are a long term investor, cont…

    What I find interesting in this show is that he took a hiatus from his profesorship to spend the time to find the proof. I think it was years. Also, he found the proof by providing…

    My bet is that 99% of people will never want to deal with installing an AI model on their machine. It's not worth their time and effort. Most people will get their AI from one of t…

    I get what you are saying but anyone that apposes the government will likely end up dead or in jail. We hear about it all the time. As a group the oligarchs have power against the …

    Extremely hopeful, there are always ways to find gloom. I'm sure 100 years, 200 years, and any other period you choose ago, people were scared of what was coming. Yet, we are here …

    I guess some people didn't get that I was being facetious. Just to be clear, SPACs did not turned out to be great investments as a whole. There are definitely better ways to invest…

    Someone writing page after page about how quantum hype is taking over and how bad the hype is. Yet, never telling you why. Or at least easily found on the site. Don't waste your ti…

    The fed used to be an enigma. They never really said what they were thinking. This kept the market as the leader on where it was headed. The modern fed goes out of its way to tell …

    Google Workspace is but the CLI is not. These are 2 related but different products. Had he just released it under his name then that wouldn't have been such a big issue, maybe, but…
