Do You Ever Think About How Machine Learning Basically Started In The 1940s And 1950s But They Just Didn't

I love the way leveling works in so many games, like "shooting an arrow through my arm used to kill me, but I picked up a bunch of random things and brought them to random people and the experience was so rewarding that now a rocket-propelled grenade to the face is only a minor inconvenience"

Stop excluding me from your secret clubs.

way more meta than you, OP. all jobs involve a cartesian plane. all thought/philosophy is math. even waiting tables is math. mathematicians have simply formalized the domain by minting and using the appropriate symbols. qed

The cool thing about doing math professionally is that you can work anywhere - on your walks, in the shower, as you fall asleep - just by rotating problems in your head. What's not so cool is that this drives you insane

bolting upright with a drawing idea as if i have the energy to do anything but sneeze

That's a nice solution you've got there. It would be a shame if it wasn't the root cause of the problem.

you used to be able to put a dvd in your laptop and play it. you used to be able to burn cds.

Radiative cooling and indoor light management enabled by a transparent and self-cleaning polymer-based metamaterial - Nature Communications

Transparent roofs offer a solution for harnessing natural light in sustainable buildings. Here, authors demonstrate a polymer-based metamate

New material lets through 95% of visible light (compared to 91% for ordinary glass), but still blocks infrared (so has a strong cooling effect) and is opaque:

It's also superhydrophobic so is essentially self-cleaning.
