A lot of the (valid) criticism can be summarized by the "No scalar product necessary. Get rid of it" point (early in one of the tables). The next point on inner product is good, and related. The point is: there is no natural or di

Wow- Wolfram "invented" cellular automata, neural nets, symbolic algebra, physics and so much more.

What do people think about the Edwards Galois Theory book?

I think the idea is: implosion is so scary they work really hard to engineer it out (as long as you don't go beyond your max depth).

I thought one of the narratives was that Nargeolet was a depressed Judas-goat used to bring in the other passengers.

Suffer a supplier failure, and your supplier is motivated to prove you are at fault.

Fun stuff. A good follow-up is the book: A = B, by Marko Petkovsek, Herbert S Wilf, Doron Zeilberger, A K Peters/CRC Press, 1996.

Wow that is a great description of awful design choices. The purpose of SETF is avoiding learning the language?

Also (not a joke): intermediate vendors should seriously be preparing audited "CrowdStrike free" certificates at this point.

What fraction of the reporting is "CrowdStrike" versus "CloudStrike"? The first reporting I heard was "CloudStrike", but the company appears to be "CrowdStrike".

Reminds me of the possible excess power of P/Poly versus P. Also does anybody remember the general name for circuit complexity classes where the circuit itself has to be written out by a simple Turing machine (I thought there was one

Since the whole thing is behind an API- exposing the works adds little value. If the corrections worked at an acceptable rate, one would just want them applied at the source.

Very good point. That was literally the magic of early Basic. One could do something quickly. And the imperative nature of the language gave a simple point of attention mental model. I feel that point is lost in many criticisms.

I was at a party once and was introduced to a nice person who worked for Adobe. At the time I was heavily into photography, and I started praising Adobe Photoshop. Unfortunately (due to a lack of editor) I continued with how Photoshop was g

Nice shuffle, and explanation. I like how the "no items assign to one of the lists" "wasted" recursions throws out coin flips (which is needed to get the uniform permutation distribution).

I forgot this point, but you are right. I use ChatGPT for all programming queries- as I don't want Google routing me to pop-up infested splogs.
