I mean, observing the weightloss / gain or lack thereof itself will tell you whether you need more of a calorie deficit or surplus. What does an independent metabolism estimate buy you?

In Singapore, your number is fixed, even when they give you a new document.

Trampolines allow you to simulate that, even when your compiler / language doesn't handle tail calls properly.

Btw, the dotcom bust was real, but there was no dotcom bubble. Skeptics back then said that the valuations only made sense if tech companies were to dominate the economy in the future. Well, that future arrived more than a decade ago.

(More formally, if you had invested in a broad index of tech companies throughout the dotcom boom years, and had held this, you would have done reasonably well over the next twenty years.)

It's a bit more involved than the one about Brownian motion, but it's still fairly accessible for the motivated layman.

I'm not sure why you are so convinced that this is so hard. Nor what you are trying to convince me that I should find it hard: I've literally had a look at the German originals. No amount of secondary or tertiary writing is going to overrule that.

Schools differ in what they teach, of course. And many of them aren't very good. But Wikipedia is always available and these days you can ask your favourite LLM for explanations, too.

Of course, as I said already, the books you are suggesting are probably great and fun to read. They just aren't necessary.

Compare and contrast how the dot-com bust did _not_ lead to global financial crises. Nor did Black Monday, nor the recent string of bank failures in the US.

('Manufactured' above means that central banks are responsible. I make no judgement on intent here. Around 2008 it was incompetence by the Fed and ECB as far as I can tell. The Fed started paying interest on excess reserves and the ECB even increased rates. Twice. Amongst quite a few other missteps.)

I suspect that's downstream from their sycophancy.

Isn't even just the question of minimising the length of a regular expression PSPACE-hard or so?

I must dissent. Einstein's Annus Mirabilis papers are really quite approachable. You don't need a book to guide you through.

Though if you are having fun with the book, more power to you! Enjoy!
