It seems `(Y @ X)[None]` produces a row vector of shape (1,3), (Y @ X)[None] # array([[14, 32, 50]]) but `(Y @ X)[None].T` works as you described: (Y @ X)[None].T # array([[14], # [32], # [

The result of `Y @ X` has shape (3,), so the next line (concatenate as columns) fails. To make `Z` a column vector, we would need something like `Z = (Y @ X)[:,np.newaxis]`. Although, I'm not sure why the author is using `concatenate`

I thought so too, but it doesn't seem to work since X has shape (3,). This seems to work, Z = Y @ X[:,np.newaxis] thought it is arguably more complicated than calling the `.reshape(3,1)` method.

Yes, I was (and still am) similarly impressed with LLMs ability to understand the intent of my queries and requests. I've tried several times to understand the "multi-head attention" mechanism that powers this understanding,

I never understood why math is such a divisive topic and gets certain people all defensive. Why is the reaction so different from literacy? For example, I have never heard anyone say "I am not a reading person; I don't like to rea

Good question. I had to think about it. In general, the No Bullshit Guide textbooks (of which there are four) differ from other textbooks by being intensely focussed on learner needs: they are written in a conversational stile, get to the

We could simplify it even further: it's all about intellectual stamina. From my personal experience and from my observations of others, the limiting factor to learning is the availability of mental energy to persevere/endure in th

There is no grand theory perhaps, but educational research is not totally useless, people have accumulated a lot of insights over the years and some of these "intuitions" are also backed by studies. Here are some book-length revie

The article mentions the git diffing command `git diff --word-diff`, which is cool, but I find an even better version to be: git diff --color-words which shows words removed in red, and words added in blue. The output produced is si

Wow very nice. Lots of content in here, with no lengthy explanations but useful point-form intuition. The .epub has very clean math done in HTML (no images), which is a cool way to do things. I've never seen this before. I wonder what
