Apologies if not helpful: have you tried consulting an AI?

(This is not medical advice)

Do you have any recommendations on how to achieve your goals?

This depends on what your specific problems are that are holding you back.

General advice is to start with common techniques .. getting things done, pomodoro, etc.

Building good habits is the best thing you can do, because you no longer need motivation once you have a habit.

Charles Duhigg's "The Power of Habit" is a good place to start with that concept.

Does anyone know any books that talk about such topics?

Can you provide more examples of the EU following US?

I think there are plenty of examples of the opposite: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brussels_effect

It's a feeling built up over years, from a gestalt experience... I wasn't keeping notes. I don't know...some places I might look to research that further are: copyright law / DMCA, encryption law and export regulation, COVID policies, country / company blacklists, crypto law -- but without finding all the little moments in my past where I saw such and such a news happen in USA, then later on such and such similar legislation / policy happen in EU, in East Asian democracies, in Indo Pacific...I couldn't provide you who is exactly on that list for sure. Just a feeling it's there tho. I'm sure it seems probably not very convincing to you...that's OK, you have your own experience and memory. This is mine.

Thanks for the link. Interesting. Cross-pollination maybe? :) Have a good one!

>>Can you please provide some sources for that claim?

Family who are teachers - but I guess the bottom of the scale has increased now, that's my mistake.

Also observe how the top of the scale is 64578PLN/year, and according to the article, teachers reach that level in about 20 years on average. So even after working in the profession for 20 years, you don't reach the average wage for your country when working as a teacher.

The "average salary in Poland" you are mentioning is a very specific measurement based on companies that have 10 or more employees. This measures only a subset of workers: in particular, it does not measure the salaries of school teachers. The true average salary in Poland is lower than that.

I suspect that you do reach the average salary as an experienced teacher.

Question to HN folks: What are, in your opinion, the best resources for a Computer Science graduate to learn how to apply statistics like this?

I can highly recommend Richard McElreath's lectures "Statistical Rethinking": https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNJK6_DZvcMqNSzQdEkzvzA/pla...

They are based on his text book with the same title.

(Disclaimer: I'm the author of the blog post.)

Bayesian Methods For Hackers is a very popular one.

Does anyone know how to do such a benchmark?

Check out the linked Github repo.

>certain dogs being able to recognize conditionals but not predicates

Could you elaborate on that, please? That sounds very interesting, but I couldn't find anything on my own.

Try Googling for "Chrysippus' dog". That, at least, brings up hits like http://my.fit.edu/~aberdein/DogLogic.pdf. Just reading that paper made me realize that there were at least two dimensions in which the statement

  "different species being able to deal with different abstractions (eg, certain dogs being able to recognize conditionals but not predicates)"

could be be misinterpreted. Assuming you were looking (as was I) for experimental evidence supporting that specific statement, I'm guessing we'll both be disappointed. But maybe not!
