C++ has two ways of naming things: `std::incomprehensible_long_name` and `|`.

I love C++ for the power it gives me, but boy do I hate reading C++ code. I know most of these things are for historical reasons and/or done because of parser compatibilities etc. but it's still a pain.

Two intelligence assets talking to each other. Both have quite similar backgrounds with dubious credentials. A history of lying and obfuscation. I wouldn't trust anything Fridman or Durov say.

I have been looking for a general all around math text since last century (as an amateur / recreational mathematician). I m starting to look at this. It seems to cover lots of ground. Any observations?

Subscription to Math Academy might be more suitable for that.

I'm pretty sure the author hasn't actually followed his own advice. Also, the writing style was atrocious. I wouldn't trust anything said. Seems like the type of post he wrote for himself (nothing wrong with that), but I don't feel that asking a 20-25 year old to have a 5 year plan which is basically 1/4 of their conscious life is something useful or achievable for most.

I'm not sure about the audience for this, if you're already willing to learn the material you probably already engage with AI in a way that isn't "please output the answers for me" because you're likely self-aware enough to know that "answering" isn't always "understanding." Maybe this mode makes that a little easier? but I doubt it's significant

If you're the other 90% of students that are only learning to check the boxes and get through the courses to get the qualification at the end... are you going to bother using this?

Of course, maybe this is "see, we're not trying to kill education... promise!"

I think as with everything related to learning if you're conscientious and studious this will be a major boost (no idea, but I plan on trying it out tonight on some math I've been studying). And likewise if you just use it to do your homework without putting in the effort you won't see any benefit or actively degrade.

Bullshit. Tabs are the only sane choice and I don't care what anyone else says.
