@futurebird @EverydayMoggie I have been doing sets where there is a lower case t, a capital T and a Greek tau. I have to stay careful the whole time.

@futurebird @EverydayMoggie standardly tou would write the fancy C with curlicues top and bottom in hand written notes. I take the point tho. And I must argue with the biology person you can't read any biology without being expected to remember so much arbitrary data about species or chemicals or cell types or who even knows. I can remember what the fancy C is for but I cannot remember 20 some amino acids much less five kingdoms and 70 clades and 150 receptor subtypes.

@futurebird @guyjantic I think it is effectively all non-linear but differential transform followed by linear stats like separation by huperplane or fitting hyper plane. But very high dimension. And. no proofs. Nor often any rigor about the 1.5% savings. They just look at a graph and see a drop correlated with the new model and assume. Or run two condition tests maybe with old and new model and see the difference.

@futurebird Douglas Hodstadter used to have a convention that the answer "mu" (Japanese not, rather than a Greek letter) was an answer to unask the question, kind of to reject premises contained in the question. "Is the answer to this question no?" "Mu" not quite the same thing tho.

@futurebird I try to be pretty strict with my own behavior, while believing we need collective effort for systemic regulations, but I do find if I have spent so much effort conserving energy and recycling and soon, I am a lot quicker to leap up when those chances to lobby or join a protest or whatever. Taking action enables more taking action.

@futurebird I remember those having a core of the next points and being able to load a little tower of sharp points that fit together into the back? I can't find any internet evidence for this however. As I tell my kids, I grew up in a sea of plastic.

@futurebird my step son, who is now a low level Rust programmer, I think did learn a fair bit of structured programming from snap. For sure he spent a ton of time with it and did some very interesting and clever things in it. I don't understand the distinction between software and programming except when I started my career I listed my job as computer programmer and now I have to mow tow to the SV and say software engineering.

@futurebird @sidereal they will figure out why it doesn't work. Or at least try to. If they are taking the class for their own reasons.

@futurebird some of my favorite music I have heard is Wendy Carlos’ Brandenburg Concertos. Analog Moog and such lovely arrangement.

@tinfoil-hat every one complains about this, but the solution is strictly pushing for see one, do one, teach one methodology for teaching procedures, where the procedure is maybe figure out how this system made up of code actually functions.

@ricci everytime I see one of your posts I think of general relativity (the Ricci tensor being key there). Are you related to the physicist per chance?

@gvwilson should be pretty easy to do a filter tree script that would look at all PRs in a commit and then add a file to a new directory with the text of the PR panel and any associated issue panels, into the history. It is a mistake to have any important information not in or buildable from the source tree. Then just clone all your repos every so often.

@stux he and his followers seem to be proving the point once you stop valuing truth, there is no bulwark against the most rank and destructive delusions. The rot spreads and infects the entire person, thoughts, imagination and decisions.

@futurebird 3 for sure. If it is at all a complex thing I will however be holding it in my mind continually for long enough to bake it in, conscious and subconscious, so I can see the problem from all the different perspectives I can generate. When I am fortunate enough to have such work, I should not drive as I have crashed a few cars in these times. The last few years tho I have failed to persuade my job for the value of such hard projects and failed, so far, at a math research project.

@futurebird @ptmesis seems you can kind of load up your mind with a sort of question or curiosity and then go get coffee or walk around or whatever and then come back with the question more of a friend.
