> it's impossible to do anything not en masse at 8b population you are missing some simple arithmetic here. yes, x times y can get arbitrarily big if x does (and y is non-negative), but then changes in y would just have even more of

Time to give Julia a shot! It has this amazing package [1] for geometric algebras in up to a very high number of dimensions. [1]: https://github.com/chakravala/Grassmann.jl

…and in turn “geometric algebra” is the physicist’s name for a subset of the even more general mathematicians Clifford algebra (which of course is a subspace of the tensor algebra over the underlying vector space…)

I've never seen any convincing argument that Bach is somehow, as frequently claimed, the epitome of baroque music. It seems to be a largely romantic sentiment, that arose moreso to Mendelssohn's circumstances than to anything uniq

Would your current 20$ still be a meaningful value in 2380?

> The result of `longer_of` is a projection of the longer argument, so the mutation of `z` by `emphasize` occurs directly on the value of `y`. The value is neither copied, nor moved, and yet it is not being passed by reference to `emph

I returned many times to the Piranesi exhibition in my town showing, among other things, his imaginary prisons. It took me embarassingly many hours to realize the staircase together with the colums in number XIV forms an impossible object &

This seems like a spectacularily bad idea.

I’m sure this goes for a lot of people, me as well for some time; but in the end, the problems simply became too much for me— so I’m curious, how long have you been using Gnome?

The author of this has clearly not read much of Tolkien's legendarium beoynd the LoTR... This is a whole lot of speculation that does not at all fit into Eä, the World that is. Though indeed one might say the same of Bombadil, it is fa

Noteworthy to me, is that it seems foundational work is to a significant degree, not considered mathematics or something people calling themselves “mathematicians” would spend much of their time on; but it’s left for logicians and more phil

I am confounded as to why I have not heard of this. I'd appreciate it if someone could link me the official statement.

Both. Which it seems people have a problem with, seeing the downvotes. I had a simple point and a personal opinion, what is the problem?

While this is true, one must not think of this and forget that one can dislike something new for other reasons than it being new… I dislike shopping carts simply because they look bad and I have no need for them, though I understand they’re

There are plenty of reasons to dislike Google, and this does sound in character; but something is off about this website.

It's unclear to me, exactly how they intend to use these.

“Any function” is a big wide claim. Can someone fill me in on what’s required of these functions? Can a neural nets for example compute non-continuous functions like f(x) = [x is rational]?

Idris is a truly delightful languge. It’s very comfortable coming from ML style languages; though i wish the stdlib was a little more complete…
