It’s not that people are stupid, it’s that they are lazy. It’s not stupid to take the path of least resistance or get annoyed at complex UI. @artypapers lazy? or busy, maybe? @shehabhamad Lazy. Busy is the socially acceptable cousin of lazy. .@shehabhamad Being too busy is a result of being too lazy to prioritize, make decisions, delegate, realize something isn’t worth doing. @artypapers To exist in the age of the Internet is to be ever confronted with the question “What is important to me?”

Carnap, when he was an impecunious graduate student in Germany during the hyperinflation of the early 1920s, had written to Russell to request a copy of this 1,929 page, three-volume tome, which was unavailable — or unaffordable — and Russell had responded with a thirty-five-page letter detailing all its main proofs.

“We don’t need a new web browser,” Miller said. “We need a new successor to the web browser.” “You can’t just think really hard and design the best web browser,” Parrott said. “You have to feel it and put it in front of people and get them to react to it.” The risk of this approach is that The Browser Company could become an R & D shop, full of interesting ideas but unable to build a browser that anyone actually uses.

[Gradients are] a very modern representation of the world.

Examining the question: "Do we really need a new browser?"

Penelope was live for two hours with her guest Omfeel, they ran a mixed bag of electronica and dancefloor orientated tracks. Lots of new music inside from Howie Lee, Geo Taguchi, Elkka, Jon Gravy and Balamii resident O'Flynn.

We should be united in our uncertainty, not divided over fabricated certainty. And the more humans turn around and look at that big purple blob, the better off we’ll be.

In the inaugural* episode of Closing the Loop. Kevin interrogates Eugene about why he felt TikTok was important enough to inflict three (THREE) essays on us about it Closing the Loop is a video series by Eugene Wei and Kevin Kwok.

Capitalism pushes us towards private affluence. We aspire to acquire our own things. Shared things are seen as second best, something of an inconvenience.

When we remove the specific circumstances of our desires, we are able to open up and see an entire world of possibility.

To _try_ and generalize this perhaps I’d say any practice contains a mechanism for instantiating intention.

Consuming information is an easy way to feel busy, or to escape the current world. But it creates a gaping hole that becomes harder to fill as time goes by, and in the aftermath it leaves an unpleasant sort of emptiness. Like any addiction.

Places like UChicago teach us to ask “what’s next” for our own advancement, to do this now so we can get to that later. I learned to ask “what’s next” to be as useful as possible to as many kids as I have in front of me.

Ostensibly, Panic makes Apple software, like the award-winning Transmit, Coda, and Status Board. But how many Apple software developers team up with the creator of Katamari Damacy to print and sell their official t-shirts, or manufacture a series of deadly accurate Atari 2600 boxes for non-existent games? Cofounder Cabel Sasser shares the unique story of how Panic stayed independent at all costs, as well as some of the challenges along the way. Recorded in September 2013 at XOXO, an arts and technology festival in Portland, Oregon celebrating independent artists using the Internet to make a living doing what they love.

Making concept maps are incredibly important in learning mathematics, far better than just a long list of isolated examples. I look at a key concept in Linear Algebra - Linear Independence - and make my own little concept map about it. You can be creative when you make your own, this is just what popped into my head, but the point is to always be thinking about the connections between different ideas first and foremost. ************************************************** Now it's your turn: 1) Summarize the big idea of this video in your own words 2) Write down anything you are unsure about to think about later 3) What questions for the future do you have? Where are we going with this content? 4) Can you come up with your own sample test problem on this material? Solve it! Learning mathematics is best done by actually DOING mathematics. A video like this can only ever be a starting point. I might show you the basic ideas, definitions, formulas, and examples, but to truly master math means that you have to spend time - a lot of time! - sitting down and trying problems yourself, asking questions, and thinking about mathematics. So before you go on to the next video, pause and go THINK. *************************************************** Want more ideas for learning math effectively? ►How to Watch Math Videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ljq5y3ksk8o ►5 Tips to Make Math Practice Problems Effective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPH2lqis3D0 **************************************************** ►Want some cool math?

“Encouraging people is like the greatest feeling in the world.” And he did encourage people. One blogger recalls: “He was able to say …the things I needed to hear in a way that I actually heard them. [H]is support and encouragement changed my life. But this loss, like Dylan’s loss, feels like a smack in the face; a radical recalibration toward what brings us to this practice.

Good poetry workshops have as much to do with listening as they do with talking; good poetry teachers are those with finely tuned ears, not fine pedigrees.

Rather than fight it — or trying to surf a wave that isn’t there — he encouraged me to harness it. To breathe in the present moment and do the work that was in front of me.

The settings are stitched together with a color palette designed to read more as emotion than description. Light comes from mysterious sources, prioritizing symbolic meaning or emotional resonance over realistic interpretations. The resulting works come from a pursuit to add more context and understanding to places I purport to know, and to find reasons and ways to see them differently.

is your perfectionism even really helping?

Although I tell myself the writing in here is low stress and just for fun, three essays a week is still a whole lot, and I’ve been feeling for a little while like I’m running on fumes.

“Love someone back,” she wrote in a poem that I read the first day I realized I already loved her and always would. “You just begin.” So I began. Sometimes if I close my eyes, I can go back into that moment, finding the colors now reflected against the flesh under my lids; I can imagine her posture and her size, her eyes wide open, taking it in; and then, whether it actually happened then or not, her shoulder at my shoulder, her left hand slipped into my right hand, forever there.

In our math research we make countless choices. We chose a problem to work on, decide whether its claim is true or false, what tools to use, what earlier papers to study which might prove useful, w…
