But we may have a problem in definitions too. I think most people just mean computers have taken all the jobs and are inventing new healthcare tehnologies, etc. Some silly people who write silly philosophy books do think that super autistic cat video hungry AIs will turn every atom in the universe into computronium but I don't pay much attention to them.
Perhaps you could imagine something like Carl Sagan's The Demon Haunted World where technology is everywhere but nobody knows how it works. We're surrounded by miracles that fewer and fewer of us understand. Technology has started to replace real life almost ubiquitously throughout the human experience. Yet, we are not to the point where computers can solve every problem we mere mortals can...
Won't it be cheaper to launch on starship than anythign else even for very small payloads? Yes, I know about RocketLab but I wonder if they will be able to survive once starship is up and running.
None of my math books are as obtuse as it is. The equations are presented on their own without explanations. On that page alone they're using quite a bit of mathematical notation that I, at least, have never seen before and I suspect it's largely unnecessary.
What did I expect? I expected a book that explained the concepts in plain english as well as mathematically. I expected the authors to be mature enough not to heavily decorate every single equation with as much mathematical notation as possible. Sort of like how bad coders make their code hard to read. That's the vibe I'm getting from the book.

You can trust me when I say the entire book is about as unreadable as that and often worse. I'm not afraid of math either. But the book certainly is not teaching anyone anything.
I have it right here actually. It's basically total trash. They claim to show you how to do the math but at the very best all they do is restate random formulas without any explanation. It's not even good enough to serve as a refresher if you know the math. It relies very heavily on you mentally decompiling mathematical notation. I can't believe I got fooled into buying that book.
If you just want to learn the math there's no easier way than to pick up some math books from half price books. They're $10 a pop. It's an affordable way to learn at your own pace.
