If you own a Kobo e-reader, check out the Plato reader [0], an unofficial document reader of Kobo devices. I find it interesting that it's written by the same person that wrote the bspwm window manager. It is one of my favorite pieces

PostgreSQL also has built-in support for exact (as opposed to approximate) vector similarity search for some problems with the following constraints: - you have smaller vectors (no more than 50D) - Euclidean, taxicab, or Chebyshev distance

Totally agree. I’d also say it paints yourself in a bad way since you’re showing you aren’t willing to work through your differences with Alice. No free lunch, but if you’re already committed to this approach the least you could do is be

There's actually a right way to do this: pad it. The blog post gives an example response to being paired with a coworker you dislike working with: > "I'd prefer not to work with Alice again. There's a bit of a persona

Thanks for sharing this! I recently went through the process of generating vector tiles for the world at all zoom levels using OpenMapTiles. Seemed like a fun way to make my computer sweat for a while. The process was pretty straightforward

The poor auto exposure and white balance touched on by this article really affected my webcam’s quality. A lamp in the background of my office caused my webcam to choose some setting that caused my face to be very red and blotchy. I’m not

The intersection of graphs, FSMs, and linear algebra is really wild. I touched a very tiny bit on this topic a few weeks ago [0]. I highly recommend the book "Mathematics of Big Data" [1] if you're interested in this subject.

Congrats on making a decision sooner rather than later. I also dropped out of graduate school and remembered having some similar thoughts as you. I remembered feeling a bit lonely, too. There's no one to talk to about your work since n

A weighted automata can be expressed as a sparse matrix and the matrix-vector product can be used to traverse the states. I think you could get a derivative out of that.

I dropped out of grad school where I focused on math/physics. I was too immature to effectively plan my research and write it up. Also, there's a lot to the institution of academia that I find very distasteful. The courses were no

Very cool! Running the not-well-maintained https://hndex.org search engine (and other memory hungry linear algebra based services) was also my original motivation for tunneling to my home as opposed to hosting on a VPS. Are you

This is fun. I'm more of a minimalist with my homelab setup. It's a laptop and an old NAS. I love it either way: running a homelab is a nonsensical and fun hobby in any case. I feel like we live in a world in which it's eithe
