> What does this mean really? That is their means. The "means" is being able to print trillions of imaginary dollars with value that magically pops into existence, merely backed by the fact that other nations do not want USD to

Don’t special characters always go after the Latin alphabet? I think this is pretty common, and fairly expected behaviour. Of course nothing is perfect but I feel like the way Wikipedia handles it is consistent.

Next step: create a visual programming language that compiles to goboscript.

Yeah, syncing text files across devices is a problem that has little to do with obsidian or whichever editor/renderer one uses. As long as one keeps things relatively simple with plugin-related syntax flavours, editors are interchangea

Big-O notation is about asymptotics. You have to approach something, and typically there is some infinity involved because if it is not, then you can just compute things instead of giving asymptotic approximations, or else you have 10^10*n

Sigmoid (or the logistic function specifically rather) is exponential until you get close to the "turning point" (or rather, its growth bounded from below by an exponential). It's as you approach that point that it becomes

Well, you may want to increase complexity in some contexts, eg in cryptography.

Yeah I also have amblyopia and am curious about this. How does it work with the two lenses/screens? I assume if eg one with normal binocular eyesight closes one eye, they are able to see the screen on the open eye side normally? In som

I mean, the article and discussion are about numpy's syntax around vectorised code and problems people have with that. Many comments make comparisons with matlab, and I am pointing that a language allowing you do use arrays and write v

That's nice, but only works, as I understand it, if you use numpy-only functions, which means that you should not use those who denote also base-pythonic, eg +,* etc operations, because then they are interpreted differently. Eg `A + x`

Even a single person may do different things that will change whether using an LLM helps or not. Much of the time I spend writing code, not thinking about the general overview etc but about the code I am about to write itself, and if I actu

The syntax of actual array languages can be beautifully concise and expressive. You can express mathematical formulas in ways that makes sense when you read a single line, and once you get used to the notation and some originally non-intuit

Yeah that's me. I lack stereoscopic vision so such tricks or 3d glasses etc do not work.

It depends also on what you want to get from the article. Usually I focus on the methods section to really understand what the paper did (usually I read experimental papers in cognitive science/neuroscience). I may read parts of the re
