I'm so very, very tired of tech coopting rigorous mathematical terms.
- mamcx 2mo agoI read it as "tensors in programming*. This also happens to "numbers", "integers" and such, because in the computer universe don't exist out math, only a subset(?) variation(?) of it
- terminalbraid 2mo agoYes, this is what I'm complaining about. > coopt: to appropriate as one's own; preempt. The term existed for some time before programming if that's your source of confusion. Now it is a twisted and ambiguous version of itself.
