how did you draw the diagrams?

i didn't say you did. i said you were very nonchalant in predicting the deaths of millions of people.

if not all points in P are coplanar then what does it mean to rotate clockwise? perpendicular to which axis?

how is that true? which component in a modern processor is akin to an fpga or any ip deployed to an fpga?

maybe because you're projecting? it's a local culture piece (it's in the ny region section). for better or worse the hasids are large component of ny culture.

it's interesting because it gives insight into a culture and community we typically don't have access to. the point isn't amazon - the point is the hasids.

I'm sure the answer is no but can I buy just the chip?

so i should write a whole other function that iterates over a list instead of being happy that := exists?

didn't we already elect someone like that (Obama vis-a-vis ACA)? and yet the monied interests have undone most of the work.

Thank you

show me a successful peaceful revolution anywhere in world ever in the history of the world.

My most important prof was a star student of E. Cinlar

so you're 2 removed from someone whose authority on the matter we would trust?

I've published peer-reviewed original research, taught graduate courses

lol so does every phd student. not a high bar were' talking about here.

can we see some of the "ml algos" you've built? in particular your autodiff engine

that one is legit. sometimes I do something like map(int, [x,y,z]) and I always trip over that it's a generator

how is that a trick? you still can't access without quotes? the real trick is a Dict class that in the __init__ sets self.__dict__. but why would you do that just to save trying quotes

name one except python

a more general such tool: http://proselint.com/

of course but no one venerates the cheaters (lance armstrong has fallen from grace)

That Gates played hard in the business world doesn't take away from the above.

i mean doesn't it? this "playing a game well" as a proxy for fairness/justice/merit metaphor as a source of legitimacy i think is strained in business. if you play basketball well and win a championship then you showed merit because the rules are tight - it's very hard to win by another means than being talented (i.e. cheating). the exception that proves the rule is how upset people get when basketball players "flop". business is the one game where the only rule is "don't get caught" so it doesn't seem correct to reason that since he did well he played fair.

this is one of the most useful little tools on good's green earth. I used to work for a scraping company and I used it all day every day - load a page with inspector open, find your request, right click copy as curl, paste into trillworks and boom you have the request you want to automate (modulo fiddling with cookies). A+ bang/line of code

bibliography length is a fetish. I'm writing a paper and I cited Lord Rayleigh for analysis of the airy disk. did I really need to cite him? who really doesn't know that Rayleigh's criterion was devised by Rayleigh? but I did because I'm taking precaution against someone either asking me rederive diffraction through a circular aperture or accusing me of not giving credit where credit is due. it's dumb. some academics are obsessed with attribution (God forbid you're not acknowledged for your incremental genius)

Lua torch has been dead for a while https://github.com/torch/torch7. pytorch doesn't use any Lua.

why would you use Jax over pytorch? even if it has technical merits it lacks an ecosystem of readily available models to study and tweak.

how did you strip out weighs for other classes? what does that even mean?

lol here's a hot tip for you: anything with "optimize" in the description is not useless bullshit. like the person said: it's literally an np-complete problem.

negotiated social contract

the bill of rights was ratified December 15, 1791. in what sense is it still being negotiated?

No it's obvious even before that because as the person I responded to points out it's right there in the footer:

The first hint was at the footer of the page: Illuminating the bold ideas and voices that make up the MIT Press's expansive catalog.

this isn't a hot take. we already live in a society that obligates us to abide by a social contract. so yes people do have rights. it's as real as the fact that you and I speak the same language. looking around and imagining that because some people somewhere sometimes are in breach of contract means that contracts don't exist is stupid. they do. we all signed them and resign them when we use any cooperative produced object (that includes language, science, public roads, etc)

the point is why does it get posted and upvoted if it's so obvious
