IANAP so got curious about how ZX Calculus related to Feynman Diagrams (if at all) Search landed on this neat summary [^1] (2024) from the lab(?) which also has a link to the original paper [^2] [1]: https://www.quantinuum.com&#x

Always fun to see this kind of Rosetta Code thing, feel like no matter the topic there's something to glean from reading! That said: if I ever gave the palindrome question to a candidate (I haven't) and they pulled out a `reverse`

Let's add a post post scriptum :) Just because your project might not be at Google's scale doesn't mean it is therefore also not complex [^1] Example: I'd say plenty of games fit the author's definition of "com

Ah, just saw that the author has included the original text as PDF so don't have to speculate about original intent after all Does seem to mostly be "here are some people in touch with current developments happening in the world t

Seems like the author kind of missed (or buried) the point when summarising the "global fibre-based broadband network" prediction as simply "(the internet)".. I was using the internet in 1995 - and pretty sure at least p

(Posting as separate comment because wall of text) Also - Honestly don't even understand why so many people would need to scrape for training data. Is it naïveté (thinking it necessary), arrogance (thinking it better than others, and t

Is there currently any way to identify ethical (or I guess, semi-ethical or even not actively unethical..) AI companies? Would be nice to see some effort on this front, a la "we don't scrape", or "we use this reputable d

Love the idea (and the headline gave me a chuckle) Might be worth including a privacy statement about the handling of people's handwriting (meta)data, ie. disposal, not selling or using it as training data (assuming that's the cas

As an aside: despite caring about "correct" use of language I've always been willing to frivolously split infinitives - it's against the rules, but I think quite an effective evolution of language Good to have linguists

Glad you made this - whether it needs to exist or not seems far from relevant as reworking and rethinking things is why we have most of the coolest tools we take for granted :) Did you discover anything interesting in the process of buildin

As a (barely) recovery grammar festidian I highly recommend checking out this video by Dr Geoff Lindsey [1] TLDW: some fascinating realignment of perspective from a linguist about such things [^2], and the - frankly moderately mind-blowing

Based on my comment's negative score it would seem you're not alone. I agree the feedback was thoughtful (as acknowledged in my reply) and read no ill-will in it and meant none myself At risk of flogging a dead horse, it can be ne
