I have mixed feelings about this, particularly. "With Nix, there is a free way to build a deterministic, exquisitely organized warehouse for managing your entire software stack." I have had clients, especially with monorepos, that

Only when you dimensions are truly independent and that is a stretch. Really what you are saying is that you are more likely to find a field for your problem, and fields don't exist in more than 2 dimensions. Consider Predator Pray wi

same thing with any feed forward network too. They are all piece-wise linear in respect to inputs. Layers reduce resource requirements and make some patterns easier or even practical to find, but any ANN that is a FNN supervised learning co

There is a star of WECC transmission lines going all around the region just south of the Colorado border near ShipRock NM. Part of what made this project viable IMHO was the adjacency to existing WECC Interface Paths. https://en.

The classic middle-thirds Cantor Set being a topologically set is one of the easiest counter examples to the above misconception that the sets need to be continuous themselves. Being able to define a neighborhood or a concept of closeness i

The specification is to blame this time, not memory safety. This is one of those HALT problems that everyone likes to dismiss :)

The ints being a total ordered set is why the example will terminate. Change that to a float, where -0,0,+0 don't have a successor and it could be problematic. Effectively the example was an existential quantifier, but will universal q

Note that not all fractals are chaotic. Inter dimensionality is the defining feature of fractals. A multilayer ANN will have compression that may be fractal like. But in theory a feed forward network could be single layer but will a lot mor

Mostly this article is about people being exposed to M-expressions in elementary math. As someone whos first programming post BASIC was on a Symbolics machine, coding _conventions_ worked just fine with s-expressions The Polish notation is

Mostly a problem with people who borrow their concepts of cohesion from MVC, but yes people tend to fundamentally misunderstand SIP and it results in over modularity. IMHO that is a side effect of how we teach people how to program mixed in

Specific to building _intuitions_ for why the Banach-Tarski arises in ZF+AC. GA gets rid of the external conventions for coordinate and chirality and also uses SU(2) which is simply connected vs SO(3) which is not. Rotors in GA can be used

IMHO that is the result of Gibbs style vectors and the cross product only being validated in R^3 Lie groups and geometric algebra remove a lot of problems. It also applies to differential calculus and ML methods like back propagation and gr

Hardware Decimal floating point is very useful, both for legacy and new financial systems and some numerical problems you need improved stability on.

Yes, I always start with the IID, but try watch for evidence that those assumptions need to change. Too many convenient properties are lost once you lose IID to prematurely drop it.

I have found remembering that both the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem are dependent on the independent and identically distributed assumption. As an example, many computing systems are Markovian, which is memoryless with

Unless you need filesystem features, object stores are probably a better target. Or possibly a document based data store. The monolithic persistence layer is an anti pattern unless you have specific reasons to support it. ZFS is quite nice

This isn't a dichotomy. That is the point of DDD,SoA,Clean, Hexagonal patterns. Make a point to put structures and processes in place that encourage persistence ignorance in your business logic as the default and only violate that idea

Currently, the Ivy League institutions are estimated to admit 10% to 15% of each entering class using legacy admissions. Add that to the zip code correlation that is the strongest indicator of SAT scores and it does matter. Students without

A Harvard, Princeton, and Yale alumni survey found three-quarters live in zip codes that rank in the top 20 percent by income and education. Half live in the top 5 percent of zip codes. So their efforts didn't work.
