Week 39

That's true. Incentives, rules define outcome. Dems allowed private interests have free reign, and when these ppl do what they do, some complain. Do not "implore" ppl for the right behaviour. Want different outcomes? Change the game.

Sceneario: establ. hits DJT with Ukraine, but that's a double-edged sword that cuts Biden too, two birds with one stone. Trigger crisis (slowdown is already a sure thing), Trump loses. Warren or someone else other than Biden wins.

I dont think "they" want Biden (guy is senile). MSM hasn't caught on yet.

Automatic differentiation (autograd) of numerical integral (trapz) which has elements of symbolic math (sympy) in it. Who got dat fu!

Numerical computation is a vast field, I have to remind myself that from time to time. Let's not forget computers were built to solve equations first, not to simply shuffle data around (which is what 90% of Silicon Valley does today -yes, most are not involved in computer science even, just IT-).

This👌close to finishing the trajectory optimization. Line integrals over scalar field with poly parametrized curve restricted on both ends being optimized over can do the trick.

BJ is a Control Freak, and this is what the world around does to them when they are messing up. I feel like his pro-Brexitness has something to do with his own issues around control too. CF phsychology is that of a monk who lived in a convent all his life, then all of a sudden gets out. They controlled all their emo, lived with discipline, now they are out in a world of lots of choice. Their path is to deal with that, cant go back to convent, cant control, wont like being controlled, etc.

The problem is EU is not your fucking convent BJ. Whatever odd feels u associate with this org are unfounded.

Libraries sympy, autograd.. killer toolz. Methinks ur better of patching together your own optimizer with autograd + scipy BFGS than relying on a complete black box with one call.

Budget surplus - great. Dont touch the irate. I'd raise it to 4% to bust the zombies even. Slowdown is part of the cycle. I'd speed up the recovery instead of remaining in zombie-land for decades like Japan.

Tired: single-focus explanations on mathematical concepts. They keep talking about the line integral as "work done"; LI (over scalar fields) can be shown as area over surface under curve.

The good news is the Left finally showed up in the Democratic race. I remember Bill Bradley who challenged Al Gore "from the left" ('00 primary) - that mot..f..ka used to parrot literature written for him by Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, a lobbying group for big pharma. This was "left" of its time.

Sure, I know a lot of them actually.. my good friend from college, a Greek guy, is this type. Whenever he goes to a beach, he finds the nearest small hill, and does a dive from that hilltop into the sea. It's a thing he always does, now he has his kids do it with him. So this is in some ways JDINM positive; not overthinking something, just doing it.
