If Agnes Callard tried to read Heidegger, her head would explode.

Let me fix this for you: "I asked Claude to write 5000 lines of assembly because I was angry"

Many Vanguard index funds use sampling, in fact. It's more complicated than you think.

Thanks man I'll just use the $600k we had lying around.

Appreciate the advice but this is Claude Managed Agents, so one can’t simply write one’s own harness.

Not sure if anybody else has experienced this, but for my job I've been playing around with Claude Managed Agents to run code generation tasks in our repo. Every read operation in …

I think it's sort of strange to refer to comparative advantage, which is taught in every "Introduction to Macroeconomics" class/textbook in existence, as an "arcane" part of econom…

I think your source for the "game dev side" is odd-it's from 2009, a recession with markedly different characteristics than this one-and says nothing about the claim you've made ab…

They probably meant out of the platforms Apple competes with. Presumably I could find a platform with, say, 12 users and only 1 non-native app, and if that app followed native UI g…

Both iPhone SEs have retina displays?

You're wrong, I owned an XPS 13 before my MacBook and the power supply was small and well designed.

I'm not going to engage in some arcane debate about the particularities of random windows laptops vs. apple ones. The fact is that there are comparable windows laptops at this poin…

Presumably the vast majority of people are not going to want to scale their 13-inch display so that everything is significantly harder to read for the sake of increased screen real…

That's not really accurate; a similarly specced XPS 13 is several hundred dollars cheaper than my laptop. But Apple is certainly winning the touchpad game, you're right about that.…

Yeah, but almost nobody opts for the super high resolution display because the screen is so small that the difference is basically unnoticeable. A similar configuration to my lapto…

Have you seen any Windows laptops in the past five years? Many Windows ultrabooks rival Apple's in terms of "ports and bezels." The XPS 13, for example, has significantly thinner b…

In terms of aptitude testing, going through some books like "How to Prove It" and working on rigorous proofs-based material (perhaps an introductory analysis book with lots of diag…

This depends super heavily on the math courses you’ve already taken.

Sure, sorry!

The ability to downvote isn't correlated with anything besides the frequency of your posts/comments.

If you want to study applied math and go into the workforce, then my point still stands, going to Princeton vs. Michigan simply doesn't matter. If you want to go to graduate school…

I think it should be obvious why there's no mention-in fact, you said it yourself-"these new routing algorithms are not yet widely used" but are a "promising avenue of research." T…

Once you're at that level, the differences are marginal. It matters if you want to go to graduate school, I suppose, but we're talking about people who just want to get a degree an…

they think it's fake, basically
