You want to learn programming in C. Pick up Linux skills. Read CS:APP by Bryant / O'Hallaron and OSTEP by the Arpaci-Dusseau. Should be a good basis for kernel hacking.

I personally don't get this attitude. For one thing, nobody on earth can give you a 500-word summary of quantum physics in a way that lets you internalize even a tiny bit of it. Th…

What kind of bidness?

It does, but it also sounds like one of the older GPTs - much higher and sturdier guardrails now. While do I also get the sense that GPT has loosened up a little?

Depends on what kind of profs.Those who teach low level systems stuff absolutely need you to be able to program in C or something similar. On the theoretical side you can kinda sor…

I rarely go to the front page.

27 is a Tao prime. Terence Tao suggested 27 was a prime number on The Colbert Report in 2014. He was likely very nervous.

Kernel Hacking. Human judgement here is still required and irreplaceable. For fast employment - Non Destructive Testing. Keep studying physics, though. Go up to modern Solid State …

How far along are you? You could finish your phd, then get a two year diploma in mechatronics, electrical eng, instrumentation. All near future proof and apparently pay well enough…

Even ChatGPT does that.

This extends to alien bio as well. I took a lengthy write-up from reddit about supposed alien physiology and asked Claude to summarize it for me. It was flagged. It went thru when …

Free ChatGPT is like a fast car with a barely responsive steering wheel. Guardrails on that thing are insane. Even for math. It wont let you think. It will try to fix mistakes you …

Despite my handle I am not Chinese lest I am accused of harboring any bias. Anyway, I decided to look up what is going on. Apparently, things are nuanced. On the one hand China lag…

In the meantime Grok seems to have come a long way. Its free tier allows you to upload 350 page pdfs without complaint and actually crunch data for you. It's now much better at it …

I drove from New Orleans to NYC through the Blue Ridge Parkway once. I thought it was extraordinarily beautiful. Also drove through the north of Arizona from LA back to NOLA. I was…

What about the converse? Are the stars of conservatories of music particularly good at math and such? Interestingly, most music here is geared toward millennials and older gens. Fa…

> More relevantly for us, Iran is 3.5 times larger than Iraq and roughly twice the population. Worth noting that at the time of invasion of Iraq they had about 25 million people pe…

Reminds me of "Total Rickall"(Rick and Morty: Season 2, Episode 4) which itself is probably a retelling of a retelling of a retelling of a retelling.

I personally did the following: 1. Ploughed thru every problem in "Schaum's Outline of Programming With C++". It's an old book, but the code in it is not particularly different fro…

Sounds like how America was 20 years ago.

A US visa is typically for entering only. It doesnt say anything about the duration of stay. The latter is determined by CBP at the port of entrance and printed on your I-94. This …
