This is one of the items in Recommendo newsletter by Kevin Kelly and his friends. I thought it was a pretty good deal so submitting it as a recommendation to other folks that might be interested in condensed book summaries. Link to the actu

Monetary wealth sure but what about all the other markers of wealth? Wealth means more than money. Everyone walks with a supercomputer in their pocket and the world at their fingertips but they think they're not wealthy.

It would be nice to have a summary with bullet points at the top so that people can see which section is most relevant to them. Right now you have high level topics but no 1 or 2 sentence summary for each bullet point.

Nice article. > However, it seems likely that the answer lies beyond biology. Karthik Raman, a former postdoc in Wagner’s lab, now at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, has studied much the same issues of functional equivalence o

I like what I've read so far. He combines scientific metaphors in interesting ways. He's constantly making reference to physics, computation, cybernetics, information theory, semiotics, logic, general semantics, ecology, etc. I li

Yup. It's one of the first counter-examples I learned about in undergrad analysis class. What's amazing about these things is that many extremely smart mathematicians at the time thought this was impossible, i.e. that continuous f

Didn't know who he was but saw a video by Trey Ratcliff ( https://www.treyratcliff.com/About ) with an Alan Watts voiceover. Seemed interesting so decided to post it.

The function is differentiable almost everywhere (this is a technical term from measure theory). Here's a pretty good explanation of its properties: https://epicmath.org/2012/11/27/5-the-cantor-set-and-th

Thanks for posting. Just bought it. I have an XPS 13 (project sputnik) from a while back and I'm currently using an XPS 15. I've been pretty happy with the XPS line. They're pretty good developer devices.

I posted it because someone mentioned measure theory and I remembered this example from a graduate course in real analysis. Cantor's function shows there are functions that are not the integrals of their derivatives. The Cantor functio

The article is talking about something called BPE but it's not defined anywhere. Chasing links I see it's about tokenization and how it's "weird". > BPE tries to be efficient, so it doesn’t waste token slots on s
