The scaling curve is different from the other cpus which implies the performance bottleneck is not in matrix multiplication (which would be nearly linear on the older cpus because it is embarrassingly parallel).
To be fair, in the past when going from DVI, Display Port, VGA, HDMI, etc. to other standards, you could just buy a simple cable. Video card manufacturers would even provide convertors in the box. So it makes sense that people may have expectations for simplicity based on their prior experiences.
Well, you only feel in the present, so he did feel things even though he may not have been who he used to be. We all are shifting and changing anyway, and our memories give us a sense of coherency, but the present is who we are most readily.
And, it can be terrifying to not know where you are or who you are for some people in those moments. So maybe he found some comfort in those moments with that one sister. That's how I think about it.
Yeah, the person who thinks a mistake is "you aren't writing the code my way" in itself is an ego trap. A lot of programmers get trapped in their viewpoint and think everyone should write code like them because it would make more sense to them if everyone did, when it isn't objectively better.
Symbols are relative, though. A good example is order of operations can easily change the meaning of an equation. But I could just define + as add 15 as well.
The person probably is doing more work than they claim.
Is it that easy to spot people? I always felt like the baseline for work at my jobs was 2-3 hours a day of productivity + 5 hours of screwing around for most people.
There were always the outliers who seemed 2X-3X productive. Anyway, you would be still doing double the work of the lazy people.
It seems to me, self-help is mostly just people spouting ideas with little scientific backing anyway. People get caught up in famous person X wrote this book. It seems like sometimes the person is actually knowledgeable like Jordan Peterson given their credentials for instance, but then they just draw conclusions that don't follow, make logical leaps, write platitudes, state common sense, etc.
Also it requires a lot of conscious effort to change the patterns that make up yourself. The first step is to learn that skill. It seems like that is where everyone mostly fails.
Ironically, I could write a self-help book/blog using these observations and present myself as an authority, but I realize these are just my opinions.
I was under the impression the Strassen method was rarely used because it has a number of drawbacks such as harder to parallelize, uses more memory, has bigger constants for complexity, less stable, etc.
It's not really designed to be optimal for the current hardware, but just to lower the number of steps. It could be more useful in the future though.
