Human brains are severely limited so the mathematics they invent is severely limited and everything new are small, understandable steps that build on huge piles of proven mathematics. A computer can create entirely new huge, complex ideas w

If we take calculated risks where we know about the small probability of success (in the case of startups) and perhaps employ risk-mitigating measures and justify the whole enterprise with the problem to be solved or the possible payoff, we

Basically we have (a) small satellites / nanosats / CubeSats, there are several companies in the EU like SSTL in the UK or Berlin Space Technologies, (b) new launchers (aiming for the satellite market first) like Swiss Space Syste

Additionally to ESA, the national agencies and the established players, there's a still small but growing private space industry (or NewSpace or Space 2.0) in Europe. Interested?

Beautiful. And you're on to something. So what should be our next steps?

When you do an MBA focused on startups, why should you care about academia's fashionable political opinion on something?

I just can't use it in my target environments for community reasons (space, AI). Just in case, a good implementation (e.g. GNU APL, Dyalog) to recommend (performance-wise)? I also tried J years ago, but not on larger data sets or compu

> Any good books to recommend? It's mostly literature from the 1970s and 1980s, usually in German. APL explained (basics, data structures, algos), APL applied to AI, math, statistics, etc. Nothing that beats Iverson's written w

While I have a place in my heart for APL and its derivatives, my problem is that I can't use it outside its finance niche. I have several books on APL and its applications, looked into some implementations, but I didn't find a way

Hi, I'm a member of one of the GLXP teams. There is progress. But it's hard and mostly invisible to the outside world. Basically we are small teams catching up to what governments or larger companies are doing. It takes time. 1. T

I have to add that verbosity serves a purpose here. Programming in the large often means those systems are long-living and the teams programming and maintaining them are huge, heterogeneous (in skill), and changing (esp. if it's a syst

Two thoughts here: 1. If you use it commercially, you can pay for it. 2. In most cases where it's needed, 64 bit doesn't matter. (Though I might be wrong on the second one.)

What about two intros? One for the low levelers, one for the high levelers? It's extra work, but it allows to treat more appropriately what each side needs to learn. As [1] says: "Rust for C programmers != Rust for functional prog
