Now _scalars_ not being distinct from 1x1 matrices I do agree is highly problematic. Not having a real 1-tensor, though, works surprisingly well.

That's also not true. Julia itself defines the tab completions for all these characters — and they'll be very familiar to you if you've ever used latex. They're just a tab away in every editor worth its salt. α₁

In and of itself, it's not wrong. Where it goes sideways is how Matlab chooses to allow matrix operations against these 1x1 matrices that should otherwise fail, how Matlab chooses to iterate (over columns, unless it's a "row-

Yes, absolutely "inline" as identifiers in your code. So many algorithms use subscript or superscript notations, and it's so nice to be able to use names like vₓ or H₀ or χ² or Aᵀ directly.

Subscripts and superscripts are probably some of my most-used unicode identifiers. Supported in Julia but not Python 3. In [1]: α₁ = 1 File "<ipython-input-1-3c2973844bb9>", line 1 α₁ = 1 ^

I'm more sympathetic. I can imagine being in that situation — going down a dirt road — and laughing at the absurdity of it all and yet needing to get to the airport to catch a flight and not having any better options. I'd wager i

You're missing my point. She's simultaneously saying: * Get your own coverage * Insurance companies don't cover it. Full stop. It's not that it's unavailable "at a reasonable price." It's "wo

My recent encounter with this comes from healthcare. Healthcare companies love to brag that their "prenatal maternity care is 100% covered, no deductible, no copay." Turns out "prenatal maternity care" is simply defined

> some rare instances, such as if a renter commits fraud That's still super weasely. Why not say: "if the renter fails to return your equipment?" Oh, because that's horrifying and will scare everyone away.

That's astounding on another level, too — they encourage owners to get their own insurance policy! And yet they aren't aware of any such providers. Insane. > A) On our insurance page kitsplit.com/insurance We explain in

You can setup a SIM PIN, but I hadn't enabled it and I bet few folks do as it's not connected to the device lock code and not on by default: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201529

SIM PINs aren't enabled by default on iPhones and are independent of your device lock code.

It certainly took me quite some time to put all the pieces together — and I'd wager very few folks defrauded like this are able to realize exactly what happened. I do wonder if it's still happening...

Other ways are to use phones with 2 SIM card slots or simply use a local carrier with decent international roaming support or (of course) carry a paperclip to just do it yourself.

The SIM ICCID that I physically had in my hands upon return was different than the ICCID that ATT had on file for me. I also watched the dude do it right in front of me, but of course SIM cards are quite easy to palm. It was the "Tou

I assumed that even if it was algorithmic they’d consider things like return rate that we cannot see.

Yes, that's why I qualified my "real-world tasks" with "random". What is clear is that: * Ryzen has a longer branch prediction history than Intel's processors. * This will give it an advantage on repetitive ex

The Ryzens have an absurdly long branch prediction history that make them much better at repetitive tasks than random real-world workflows. I wonder how much this is effectively "gaming" the Geekbench suite. https://di

Same is true for any sort of science. We're trying to find some sort of a story, and thus we bias ourselves towards bugs that lead to a meaningful conclusion. Most experiments fail, but a bug can make them look like a success. I find
