This has been said countless times before, but it's a real shame we don't have yet have good solutions for separating content and presentation of code.

well, I think it has to be a fixed f for the interpretation of a (time-invariant) dynamical system x_{n+1} = f(x_n) to work.

At that point, you probably don't care about the name of the struct. You just have a named tuple, where the type of the tuple should encode the names and types of the fields.

I'm not so sure that's the only reason to intentionally distance from the "SmallTalk" brand. There might be a advertising benefit, too, since ST is sometimes maligned for having "lost".

The big problem with interval arithmetic, stated in terms of probability distributions, isn't that the distributions are uniform, but that the distributions are independent. The distribution of x-x is the degenerate distribution 0. But

I see this advice often and I find that it misses the point. The problem isn't the equality check, the problem is finite precision. There are situations that call for exact equality checking in floating point.

I think the scientific point here is that visual processing is not a one-shot process. Tasked with object detection, some scenes demand more careful processing and more computation. Almost all neural network architectures process a given in

IANAL but it seems that it would succeed in requiring an additional layer of argumentation that “area” is code for “market”. My rough sense is that nothing is trivial in cases like this, but how difficult would it be to argue this?

It sort of sounds like you're confusing two different kinds of errors. Euler vs RK4 is an issue of truncation error. It's called that because when you approximate a derivative with a finite difference, you can see that you've

I'm assuming you have some ownership in the form of stock, and I'm wondering how that factors into it. Can you imagine a vision that would be easier to get behind, even if it originated with someone else?
