Who are you? Your account is 13 hours old. Do you work with one of aggravated parties or are you a concerned bystander?

Im just an anonymous person on the internet but even I can see that this can really hurt your reputation. That start of the article painting you by using a random game you had with…

My pet philosophy is that math is real because the objects have persistent effects, like with the "if a tree falls in the forest..." riddle. Something that isn't real would be a st…

Well most of your examples are about failure to act based on reasoning rather than failure to reason, except the mathematics one which is unfair as research mathematics is a very h…

Well for me the Hessian is the second order derivative in the special case where the co-domain is of dim 1. It's just very easy to work with...

I mean, it's a technical piece of code (ETH, that is), and every new piece gets a new name. It's not a more complicated terminology than you'd get for compilers or protocols - TCP …

Why? It's easy to do it as a varied cost.

On the other hand, a passive student will let you go through an entire proof only to raise his hand when you finish and ask something that implies he did not understand the proof f…

One could say he is dominating an opportunity reserved for small-time artists by deceit.

I commented this earlier as well. Relating brings a lot of energy to a conversation, but it's also trickier. I wish I had a better solution When I was at Amaravati the head monk co…

How is it? It's a direct help.

A lot of times I use what I think you term as unclean language to inject some energy into the conversation. Without it I feel like the conversation dies, so I relate with my own st…

Hop on the mathematics discord and ask in their book channel. It's the big server with a picture of a torus as the icon. There are some very knowledgeable people there

If I could "Computer, look through the youtube suggestions on _topic_ and return one that is half hour long and from a respected, but not too popular channel" I would be very happy…

It looks like math blog posts. They are written for other mathematicians but not experts in the fields, and a layman will find them unreadable.

For sure there is a value for the giver. It's good for you to be charitable, so why not win-win?

The rock star thing is a bit creepy. I'd like to be good at my job but not have the job turn into my entire life. Why does the conversation around tech imply that software jobs are…

Ah interesting! I thought you were saying we can express all the other analytical functions with 1,2^x.

so you express x (the simple polynomial) as ln(2^(x/ln2)? or as an infinite series expansion?

but the first half of wall-e is the good one!

Mind explaining how to express some simple functions? Im interested

I can see where he's coming from. Geometric intuition is an useful tool but in this semester's linear 2 class I developed more because I stopped using it. It's too strong of a tool…

Maybe it's the shallowness of pop math? I sometimes find pop math even insulting. Not a grown up response, sure, but how many times can you hear "WaOw there are Bigger infinities??…
