Yeah, that would make this post a lot better.

If you could somehow track the frequency spectrum of usage, then you could mostly handle that problem. "Oh, the frequency spectrum strongly peaks at about once a week? I guess users regularly need to use this feature. Probably important somehow." vs "Huh, the frequency spectrum isn't strongly peaked anywhere, but is substantially lower at high frequencies. We can probably remove this."

Kaku is a media sensationalist; that class of person has a terrible track record. Futurists, that is, people like Aasimov, have an ok track record at predicting the future. Interestingly, early futurist predictions about digital tech were pretty good. For "physical" goods? Not so much. A plausible explanation of this discrepancy is that they didn't predict the breakdown in the historial trend of increasing energy usage. See the Henry Adams curve.

"What I would suggest is to start taking the extra time to optimize your resume for every job you apply for. There are tools online to help you find out how these softwares scan and pick out pieces of your resume."

Is there one tool to rule them all, or a host for each specialty?

Huh. How's that fit with the general push against remote work I've been hearing about?

It's been strange these last 23 days.

This is the most insane thing I've read about this year.

Problem sets are useful for improving your mathematical ability, as is looking at an expert's attempt at a problem after your attempt. Both are a core part of reading books well. So when someone asks for books to improve their mathematical ability, a likely interpretation is just "they want books with good problem sets, clear presentation and elegance". Another interpretation is "what's a book which, when after I intrepret all the individual sentences into a vague impression, will make me good at maths?"

Your answer is somewhat helpful in the latter sort of world where OP didn't know how to read a textbook (which is unfortunately common) but not in the former sort. You seem to be venting though, which is understandable. But venting with a side of helpful content would be even better.

For instance, advising OP on how to to read a maths book (generate content yourself, check dependancies, connect things to what you know etc.) or suggest books which contain advise like this alongside their main content (I think Tao's analysis texts might do this?)

There are a couple of people interejecting with answers to questions, or asking questions. I'm afraid I don't have a better estiamte than that. But in this case, I think lumping the students together as one speaker and the teacher as another would be fine.
