Wait, is monster nitro still around?
- Comment on As someone who is aging. Late thirties. How can I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends, particularly in music? 4 days ago:
YouTube music made discovery worse compared to Google music, but it is still OK.
When I hear a good song on a show or movie, I ID it with my phone and explore others by the artist or genre. I also thumbs up it to get more recommendations from YTM
Same when friends recommended music. So yeah, talk to friends about music. And then do the above two steps with their suggestions and likes.
- Comment on US to impose tariffs on Chinese EVs next week 1 week ago:
I prefer the circular solution. Make a tariff equal to the delta, and use the tariff to subsidize local production and reduce the delta.

Too obvious now.

Google keyboard was even better that Swype back then. Only when they started trying to make it smarter by scrubbing all our text input did it start getting worse. However they need the pretense to collect all our input so they’re never going back.
- Comment on Explain yourselves, comp sci. 2 weeks ago:
All vectors are tensors but not vice versa. And every page/definition of vector I’ve seen references magnitude and direction, even the vector space page you linked.
It looks like “vector” commonly refers to geometric vectors which is what most folks in this thread are discussing.
Would N by M vectors be imaginary, where each DOF has real and imaginary components?
- Comment on Explain yourselves, comp sci. 2 weeks ago:
Wouldn’t N by M be a tensor? Magnitude and direction only need one entry per DOF.

It’s ads all the way down
- Comment on Amazon builds AI model to optimize packaging 4 weeks ago:
So this may be a more efficient use of computing power. Brute force calculation of combinations is costly because there are so many possibilities. A learning model can be fed data from brute force calculations and from humans tasked with packing efficiently to develop an empirical model (this is the AI part) of how to package assorted items. That model could take much less computing power than the Brite force m method.

This scenario has a high risk of confirmation bias.
- Comment on The Google One VPN service is heading to the Google graveyard - The Verge 5 weeks ago:
He was messed up but I don’t think he was a pedo. He loved kids but not in that way.
- Comment on My opinion on Bone conduction earphones 5 weeks ago:
I have the titanium and love them. They are perfectly adequate for listening to audiobooks on runs. On the road bike it can get drowned out by wind noise so hard to hear spoken word but music is OK.

- Comment on What characterizes feminine strength? 5 weeks ago:
Strength is the ability to do hard things. Hard is relative. Gender doesn’t play into it at all.

- Comment on How to open a textbook 5 weeks ago:
My favorite class in grad school. I absolutely loved deriving the laws of thermodynamics from first principles based the random motion of atoms. It was beautiful.

- Comment on somewhere a postdoc is crying 1 month ago:
Depends on temperature and pressure. This diagram doesn’t go that low, but I would guess it’s a solid in the near vacuum of space based on what I know of space ice like Saturns rings and comet tails.
- Comment on somewhere a postdoc is crying 1 month ago:
That’s a phase diagram, there’s probably lots of cool things going on in the solid state below that line. Probably different ratio solids at each peak. 1:4 3:2 etc. The % are goofy because it is reported by weight but behaves based on count.

I love all the fancy flip top bottles and one recycled vodka handle.

- Comment on They say MacDonald's is expensive now. Are any other chains still cheap/cheaper? 2 months ago:
Taco Bell has $6 boxes in the app. BK has monthly coupons in the newspaper for the $18 family meal pack that is enough for my family of 4.
- Comment on This Is Why Tesla’s Stainless Steel Cybertrucks May Be Rusting 2 months ago:
304N is not marine grade. It is 304 with a little extra nitrogen for hardness.
Marine grade steels have molybdenum for chloride resistance like 316L.
