It's like the quote by Clifford Stoll. The first time something is done its science, the second time its engineering, the third time its technicians work. Most people in statistics become actuaries and do the math equivalent of being a technician. They aren't discovering or applying anything new, more so just going through the steps.
Irl they become actuaries. It's usually applied mathematics and if by mathematician one means someone exploring mathematics alone then this is accurate. CompSci kinda falls half into this and half outside of it.
It reminds me of the statement by Clifford Stoll, (paraphrased) the first time you do something it's science, the second time you're an engineer, the third time you're a technician. link.
In essence most statistician work ranges in the engineer to technician level of mathematics.
It's obviously RB but there's some truth in there. I remember back in like 2008 when I was first introduced to Linux, kinda felt like magic that there was another OS besides windows and Mac. I had an old powerPC iBook collecting dust that I installed Ubuntu on. Honestly I was just toying around with it for a few weeks. I remember being confused by a lot of things kinda like this post and honestly not even knowing where to look for information, what terms to put into the search. I just clicked around and essentially broke shit and reinstalled.
I forgot about Linux for a while until my Intel Mac mini fell out of support so I installed Ubuntu around and 2010 full time on my main machine. The good megaupload and Netflix as a DVD service days.
I ended up distro hopping to nearly everything. Ended up getting that old PPC laptop up and running again with a version of puppy Linux. I got really into light weight distros and minimal UI's with all my own cli scripts for everything, mps-yt for YouTube, made my own script for 8tracks, for web scraping and so on. Lots of pipe menus for everything, weather, calendar events and so on. Although these days I just run Fedora, have been thinking of switching to an immutable base with a container for everything I need to install besides flatpaks. Vanilla OS looked like a cool project but it's not mature yet, same with pop cosmic.
A mature cosmic UI on something like vanilla OS with an Ubuntu and an arch container for software that isn't available as a flatpak or otherwise doesn't work well as a flatpak I think would be my ultimate if and when they become mature.
At minimum how would the heat be managed? Also as someone else said, just getting the material from the earth into orbit is currently possible but why?
I'm guessing you don't know the speaker. Saying something is BS just because it's on YouTube is interesting. What if it was a lecture by Terrence Tao on YouTube? Also just for argument sake, there's lots of ideas taken pretty seriously in physics that aren't directly testable, honestly border more on philosophy. Even simple things like what exactly is time, does all of spacetime exist at once as Einstein thought and so on.
It's not that difficult anymore, gene splicing is now something that can be done at home. Probably the hardest part is getting one's hands on the material. There was that biolab that was just busted this year in Las Vegas.
I don't agree with you which is fine. Also for the record, I'm not from nor have I ever lived in San Francisco but you're free to believe whatever makes you comfortable. I think you have some other version of my ideas. Like we're not even really having a discussion, it's more so you're battling with what you think I am saying than us actually having discourse. Anyways, seems like you're going to keep being unpleasant so I'm exiting the discussion.
Almost everyone is the hero of their story. If they think something it's because it's right and smart and if someone disagrees it's because they're bad and dumb regardless of the actual truth.
So there's no means of there being a worthwhile candidate by your standards?
