Linear algebra is fancy?

    Should I argue over magic, or…? Also, I don’t believe that’s the proper usage of that term. It would go like this “It cannot be magical, because math is logical.” Edit for maxdepth reply: The example is looking at any code for a model released in TensorFlow or PyTorch, because it’s 1) quite (exactly) concrete 2) linear algebra with autograd bolted on top. I did a quick search and there are plenty of translators on GitHub that demonstrate that. Here’s an annotated example of neural nets from PyTorch https://pytorch.org/tutorials/beginner/blitz/neural_networks_tutorial.html#sphx-glr-beginner-blitz-neural-networks-tutorial-py https://pytorch.org/tutorials/beginner/blitz/neural_networks.... What’s incomprehensible about it and would the authors of a ML paper also describe those features as incomprehensible?

      The phrase is something like “sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic” Very much science. Like how a person from 4000bc would think of a voice assistant If it isn’t fancy please share the ML model for ancient Egyptian to English translator
