Other comments have addresses many always of your comment. The constantly changing part is also an important feature for recompilation being more efficient than recompiling from scratch each time. You can read about it here: https:/&#

I am familiar with the situation you describe, and it's a good point. However, it does suggest that there is an opportunity for factoring "Dog" out in the code, at least by name spacing (e.g. Dog.Model).

By the way, I love your blog post https://alexkritchevsky.com/2024/02/28/geometric-algebra.htm... I didn't understand this part: > I strongly believe that if GA would make this distinction they would

Totally agree! And this is why I sympathize with GA fanatics. Although it might not really make sense to do the rebranding or be maximalist about the geometric product, I do think there is a shared goal of making these things easier to unde

Happy to have agreement that this goes beyond "traditional linear algebra". But, pedagogical treatment is a separate question from what is linear algebra. Should these all be the same wikipedia page? - https://en.wiki

That's fine. That's still a step beyond just "linear algebra".

What other way is there around avoiding polar vs axial vectors looking the same but behaving differently? Or normal vs tangent vectors transforming differently?

This is reminiscent of MATLAB where there is no distinction between a scalar and a 1x1 matrix.

I'm confused that you're bringing in case sensitivity into the discussion. For simplicity, early systems could not be case sensitive because they didn't have a large enough character set. The comment about crashing due to spe

Technically, image resizing does in general care about the color channel ordering, because color spaces are in general not linear. https://www.alanzucconi.com/2016/01/06/colour-interpolation/

Maybe someone can explain why the modulation scheme matters, instead of the frequency range. AM less sensitive to phase noise? Or is it that AM radio typically means some frequency range?

The integral term handles an unknown (or unmodeled) additive error. So in that sense, you don't have the differential equation and you still apply PID.

Floating point addition, for example, is not associative, so the order of taking a sum affects the result. If the summation were sequential and single threaded, it would be deterministic. But it happens in parallel, so timing variations aff

I can understand in principle but not actually. Converting between snapshot and patch representations is not an exponential effort operation. You could convert a git history to pijul (yes, expensive, but not exponential), do the conflict re

This doesn't seem to be true. I can use git rebase to change the order of commits, and I don't get conflicts if the corresponding patches are independent. If you can losslessly convert between the two models, then it seems like yo

Couldn't git just recreate patches from snapshot? I mean, this is what happens when you show a commit or a diff. This is probably what you mean by how it's invisible to the user. When does it actually make a difference?

The first thing the page shows is generating configurations in existing formats like YAML. For most of my use cases, there is tooling that does some updates of the configuration (e.g. bumping dependencies), so I'd really need bidirecti

SVMs typically have weights per data point. I.e. nonparametric/hyper parametric. Modern machine learning doesn't really work like that anymore, right?
