Can I ask you how old are you? Or who do you work? Most of people in tech do not use Mathematica but I would put a lot of chips on a bet that most heard of it. That's why I'm courious

The problem with that tradeoff is that you only compare the performance with the 'top layer of abstraction' that is already implemented and not with the baseline. Death by thousand cuts

I think that in this case it might just be a case of 'selective breeding' rather than 'evolution' sensu stricto. Those with large tusks are shot dead and thus only tuskless remain. Not much different with breeding dogs f

Well, if you mean Byzantine Empire (East Roman Empire with the Constantinople as a capitol) then absolutely massive amount of things shared it's time with it because it has fallen in 1453, even Columbus shared the planet with it. But a

I agree, that's what I told my friends, to just keep learning because if I could why wouldn't you. The point of my post is that I have realized how unhelpful that comment is because if someone told me that about music today... all

This article, and the comments, made me realize why some friends that I tried to teach coding just couldn't grasp it yet for me it seems kinda obvious. I don't understand music one bit, none, zero. I can read descriptions and even

It helps me in the sense that if some object is moving (I can artificially make it move for the sake of the argument) then I just change it's coordinates instead o how it 'would look like to m eyes', I don't know, that m

The way I think about higher dimensions is just by looking what a sphere of radius r looks like in cartesian coordinates x^2 + y^2 = r^2 in 2D x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = r^2 in 3D x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + t^2 = r^2 in 4D If that leads to some weird behavio
