I really like the illustrations and explanations. When can we expect the natural transformations chapter? And also I think there is a small typo at the end of second to last paragraph. "At the same time we have the category of groups,

I don't think you can learn your way to the cutting edge of science in a lifetime with project-based learning. In my experience it just takes too much time.

Same, but it's only natural after studying inner product vector spaces. Also being comfortable with some calculus is needed to be able to overlook the technicalities of this construction and focus on the actual idea.

Maybe it would actually help to develop internal vision and improve your chess.

I agree but i don't think that changes the facto that it's an excellent introduction to working with Emacs and beginner Clojure tooling.

"Clojure for brave and true" has in my opinion an excellent section on Clojure tooling in emacs (which I wish i read when I was starting out with emacs).

I feel like another application which is maybe not talked about all that much is that knowing category theory gives you power to name some design pattern, google that, and tap into that vast mathematical knowledge that humanity already disc

Drink enough wine and you will start to lean towards "critically acclaimed" wines by yourself after a while. What's "enough" varies from individual to individual.

Change of bases being done with orthogonal projection derived from defining scalar product of two functions via finite integral of product of two functions: f dot g = integral f(x)g(x)dx over some interval.

This is common misconception. The truth is that in HE every plaintext can be encrypted to (exponentially iirc) many different ciphertexts. During encryption one of those is chosen randomly. This makes dictionary attacks practically impossib

Magnus Carlsen: 2864 Elo Stockfish: 3585 Elo "Elo suggested scaling ratings so that a difference of 200 rating points in chess would mean that the stronger player has an expected score (which basically is an expected average score) of

There is seemingly random interconnectedness in math, meaning that governments probably can't just throw money at some problem and force themselves much deeper than academia. For example you can hire 100 number theorists and ask of the

Ahh okay I think I get it now, you are saying if chess is win for black, that immediately implies zugzwang for white from starting position. In the same way, chess being a win for white implies zugzwang for black starting position. So ches

Would you play tic-tac-toe for a win with that scoring ratio?
19.
by franknstein 4y ago
I know what zugzwang is. I was just asking what he meant by 'skipping turns' because skipping turns by simply refusing to make a move is illegal, so i was not sure what point was Gehinnn trying to make.

Can black refuse this 'color switch'? It seems like he can, for a while, by mimicking moves. 1. e3 e6 for example. Does this strategy necessarily leads to provably losing position?
21.
by franknstein 4y ago
What do you mean skip the first move? Like play a neutral move? Why would such a move exist?
22.
by franknstein 4y ago
There is a small chance that deep into the tree the first to play gets into zugzwang first, meaning position with no good moves. Is there any other scenario where playing black would give you theoretical edge? So until proven otherwise it&#

"One might define simplicity as the length of the equation, say, and accuracy as how close the curve gets to each point in the data set, but those are just two definitions from a smorgasbord of options." "..the algorithm eval

There is long history of science-fiction writers painting correct visions of, at the time seemingly impossible future. Sometimes You don't have to be an expert to notice the trends in certain domains. I'd go even further - it coul

This might sound rough, but don't you think some brainwashing could help your situation?

Do you think this amount of money could be used to pump up some other crypto and safely (legally) profit on that instead of simply cashing the money and getting caught?

Fun idea. Did you reach any interesting conclusions?

Why and how? I've been through ZFC course and I found it quite natural. Okay maybe not natural, but it quickly clicked.
