What’s the story behind the naming? (I presume it’s not written in Hy/Hylang, the cute little Lisp that compiles to Python.)

Resale value is important for wheelchairs. My dad had an electric one for about 8 months before he passed on, and the TCO was well under the price of all these alt concepts.

To me “Man” has more of a “each and every” connotation. Compare “Man must achieve this.” “Humanity must achieve this.” The latter is more of a collective emergent thing. And in some cases that leaves you with a diffusion of responsibility k

I love the Buddhist expression “these teachings are like a raft one uses to cross the river and then discards”.

I remember writing down everywhere — in notebooks, calendars — all full of teenage fury and conviction: “OBSERVE THE MASTER / IMITATE THE MASTER / BECOME THE MASTER”. An edgy 14 year old I was. I don’t remember the source for that

I talked to Pi for one New York minute and it came up with the good ole “Ahhh the X Y of Z” LLM-ism. So much for an unique conversational tone.

*Title: The Soul of Creation* by Nick Cave (Verse 1) In the dawn of all existence, in the silence of the void, God spun the world in six days, in a dance of cosmic joy. On the seventh day, He rested, His creation full of worth, A

Ezra Pound says “a charge for the use of purchasing power, levied without regard to production; often without regard to the possibilities of production.” Of course, Ezra Pound was a proper and proud fascist.

Also not all notions of God are dualistic — where you get to (notionally) talk to the guy using “you” and “I”. India’s Advaita Vedanta, Ibn Arabi’s version of Sufism and even some sects of Hasidism all hold that everything is in God. I ha

The pdf is just the pullback measure. A random variable is a function X(w) taking (eg) real values. In your probability space you already have an ambient measure space and an ambient probability measure P which takes sets in the measure spa

There was a subreddit called something like r/bubbling where people would edit pictures of women in bikinis and actually cover more of the image, but in such a way that your brain was fooled into completing the image and seeing a nude

An interesting exercise would have been to run a Gaussian Graphical Model (like the “graphical lasso”) to sparsify that correlation matrix. In the Gaussian case, those methods are able to identify nonzero partial correlations and hence a ca

McLuhan famously has this notion of cold and hot media. In the movie theater light shines at a screen and you see its reflection; on TV, and more so with phones, the light beams directly into your eyes. It makes a difference.

I find Copilot to be a WET enabler; it figures out patterns that are boring to type and infers where they’ll be needed again. It’s an even better experience with notebooks where the abstract vs repeat tension leans more toward the latter.
