  • I should've said "anything math-heavy," but even then, it seems like switching fields or applications of math requires understanding a new definition of the same symbols, and a lot of that could be avoided with words.

  • You can adapt, but how you adapt matters.

    AI in tech companies is like a hammer or drill. You can either get rid of your entire construction staff and replace them with a few hammers, or you can keep your staff and give each worker a hammer. In the first scenario, nothing gets done, yet jobs are replaced. In the second scenario, people keep their jobs, their jobs are easier, and the house gets built.

  • What OP is talking about is readability, so in a situation where you're taking your own notes and have your own set of defined symbols, full words aren't necessary.

    I personally lost all interest in math because there are way too many opinionated or non-standard symbol definitions

  • Police accountability is just the tip of the iceberg, though. A huge issue is the fact that a lot of minority history isn't taught properly in US schools, and important events that define race relations are completely ignored. Using the term "master" to describe Git branches, for example, is just another way of staying ignorant and insensitive to those events.

    I can understand that there are some edge cases where master/slave should still be correct as it is accurate, but for every other case, it's still better to use a term that is culturally aware and technically relevant, even if it's a small difference that's part of a larger cultural shift.

  • Something being accessible usually means that the results have a lower low-end and higher high-end, no? In the context of music, it would mean that there are bigger heaps of trash with a few hidden gems
