There are many people who never find a moment of peace in their lives and may become more vocal as they age. For most people, in my observation, there comes a point where they move past their easier life and live with a sense of peace or accomplishment.

The real question is why Apple isn’t doing cleanup of their logs. There’s no reason to maintain that information after a notification has been acknowledged.

In a bizarre way, I can feel myself developing statistical intuitions. I’m becoming more confident but not necessarily competent haha.

I was just thinking about you. Thanks so much for coming back here for this. I’ll check these out.

Worse than stupid: criminal.

3b1b, the gray cuber, 2swap, lines that connect etc…

I just went and subscribed to these channels. Their videos will pop up in my feed over time.

I have spent the last few months watching Mind Your Decisions and AndyMath. I can follow what they are doing but do not feel that I could always/necessarily reproduce what they do if given a novel problem. I am hopeful that continuing to go through these will help me build up a solid repertoire of thinking skills.

If you have other channel suggestions, please share!

That was a fantastic explanation. Thank you.

Can someone explain what an electron app is?

So not feed the troll

Got it!

What’s a time? I’m curious

They say that if you want to buy property in a new building, wait five years until the problems surface then decide. I’ll let other people be the experiment and get in when the big problems are worked out. Besides I want implant version 10 rather than beta 0.9.

I’ll wait about 25 years before opening my head

It’s because they got rid of testing and quality control. They are only doing minimal testing now in controlled environments while the world is messy.

The laser jets are actually fine for small office use. It’s the ink jets that you have to avoid.

Thanks, I appreciate the support.

I just finished a course called Statistical Process Control. In brief, create two normal distributions and hope that the means of your customer specification and your manufacturing tolerances match up. If they don’t fix it.

I put together a study guide of just equations. No information on how to use them or interpret their results, just the equations and it came to 14 pages. This professor provided an equation sheet for the final exam that listed 2 of them, suggesting that we should be able to derive the remainder. This seemed like a big ask and requiring additional cognitive load when not necessary, but, apparently, I am the exception in this course because I scored below the fourth quartile (66%) with a median of 82%. Guess the others could, indeed, do the derivations…

Fortunately my homework, course project, and course paper are much better and helped raise final grade. I found it frustrating because I believe that he is teaching towards those who need a guide rather than those who need to learn.

I will check those out, thanks.

I have long understood that one of the problems with mathematics (and you see this in chemistry, physics, logic, etc) is that it is assumed that by learning to approach a problem algorithmically, an intuition has been formed. Then the test maker will throw a problem at you that does not follow the algorithm and the student who does not notice the relationship between two things is unable to complete it. This is basically where I am at with my statistics work–some basic probability questions still escape me.

Hilariously I’m a linguist. I actually have several degrees in the humanities and social sciences plus a masters in IT management but made the potentially questionable decision to jump into an engineering doctorate with no engineering experience. It’s been as fun as you might imagine, but I am learning lots and advancing through the program.

I wish that my undergrad advisor had let me take calculus like I wanted to, but he wouldn’t since it wasn’t required for the program. My doctoral advisor didn’t say anything so I figured that I was in the clear. What do you know? It’s all calculus based and I’m learning to do derivatives and integrals in realtime.

What I’ve learned here is that if we squished our brains together, we’d form a single, complete person.
