This begs the question: at what point a computation is simply an optimization

On that note, I also highly recommend Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time.

I agree with almost everything you say. A few points of contention- most are from what I perceive to be a lack of cultural context. In the Musk video, when he says he's returned from Mars, that was a self depreciating joke on the accou

Me. I've been deploying ML models using Gorgonia since before it was called Gorgonia :) I definitely prefer using it to deploy services than PyTorch, MXNet or TF

Shame. I've been using Gorgonia for years now. Progress in the library is slow but it is superior in deployment when compared to TF or PyTorch.

Allow me the opportunity to also plug Gorgonia (which this books is about) - it's Hacktoberfest right now and there are many issues in Gorgonia tagged Hacktoberfest: github.com/gorgonia/gorgonia Its contributors are quite act

The first versions of Gorgonia[0] (obvs not called Gorgonia) was written in Haskell. I found it difficult because Accelerate wasn't there yet when I wrote it. And cofounders found it difficult to understand (because Haskell was a stran

That's because the recommendation systems are optimizing for the wrong things: typically dwell time. You are highly likely to dwell longer on scifi, so heres more scifi for you! Older recommendation systems use background and foregroun

I put it to you that 书 should be read as "a sense pertaining to writing". Thus when used as a noun, it means "book", but also may mean anything closely related to writing. 法 means "a sense pertaining to order, metho

I recently had suffered RSI that I had to take a few days off work - my elbow felt like it was on fire and my grip weakened to the point where I was unable to open doors with my dominant hand. My physio prescribed me ridiculous amounts of d

We should just be researching visodilators. Minoxidil and sildenafil are sideeffects that appeal to male vanity and both came from research on visodilators. More products that cater to the male vanity is a very good way to fix some of the g

there are many lambda calculi. Here's two: A) Pure Lambda Calculus is defined by 1. the terms (metavariables t and u): λx.t | x | (t u) 2. the reduction rules, β 3. the two conversion rules, α and η B) Another of Church's lambda c

s := a | (s s) common lisp syntax. Even simpler, but that shifts much of abstraction capabilities to the operational semantics.
