A deep asymmetry between STEM and non-STEM (at the undergraduate level) is that in STEM, the amount of work and effort to be passable is quite high, while in the humanities it is as difficult if not more difficult to be brilliant, with very little needed to be passable.

Trigonometry once again proves its relevance in another late night study of complex systems where sophisticated methods of playing with shapes is the only viable option for ascertaining order.

There's a mean between hyping AI as something that changes everything and seeing it as a dystopian horrorscape. It's a tool - it has capabilities and limitations. It's not a panacea and it's dumb to think that it's all upside or downside.

Would you believe me if I said that environmentalists and military planners have a lot in common? Well for starters they both really care about weather.

Cheap Money. This is what quitting an addiction cold turkey looks like. It sucks, it's awful, you feel that you won't survive(not unwarranted because you might die without supervision). We've been talking about this for a decade, maybe it'll shock us into sobriety.

This is as if Chernobyl happened because the plant operators wanted to release delicious strontium to fertilize the crops.

Given the recent swarm of earthquakes and the significant ground movement that can be seen in Sentinel-1 interferograms, I wonder if any new rifting has occurred that is visible in high-res optical imagery.

On the importance of history. The coup d’æil (or professional judgment) is the ability to tell instances apart. It’s the ability to recognise patterns. It is also a trained ability that requires a repertoire of historical cases. Theory is not enough. #PME #polsky #civmilsky

What's the reading-ease score of NATO #doctrine? AJP-01 (ch1) sits around 25, rendering it "very difficult to read, best understood by university graduates." When most NATO members don't have English as their first language, hard-to-read doctrine (and operational orders!) is a real problem.

There's this thing where you can read a really nice article and the fundamental misunderstanding of your niche field just makes you grind your teeth throughout it:

The Problem of Stability: Military Strategy in a Non-Newtonian Universe - Military Strategy Magazine
Although most of our strategic thinking pays lip service to the unstable nature of the environment in which strategy must operate, our strategies usually fail to account for that nature in any meaning...

How I’m writing up studies from here on out
The opening to The Body Snatchers by Jack Finney

“I warn you that what you're starting to read is full of loose ends and unanswered questions. It will not be neatly tied up at the end, everything resolved and satisfactorily explained. Not by me it won't, anyway. Because I can't say I really know exactly what happened, or why, or just how it began, how it ended, or if it has ended; and I've been right in the thick of it. Now if you don't like that kind of story, I'm sorry, and you'd better not read it. All I can do is tell what I know.”

My son ran for class treasurer and won. Tonight he was talking ab the kid who won the presidency: “He just promises stuff like new soccer fields. He said it to get elected.” <pauses> “But I’m the treasurer. I control the money. So it’s never going to happen. This is where the real power is.”

One thing that separates the DoD from Silicon Valley is how often Silicon Valley fails. I think American families expect more when their kids' lives are on the line, frankly.
