I've been using Evil-mode a bit on and off since I came to Emacs (from Vim), right now I'm in a "vanilla phase" again. But I tried re-enabling Evil-mode and Evil Collection now to test what you mentioned (in a vanilla co

I’m reminded of the Holographic Principle in physics: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_principle Sometimes a sufficiently good model of a surface is completely identical to a model of the volume.

I would interpret it differently. When they write in artificial intelligence models, I think they mean to train artificial intelligence models and not to just use them (like a GPT front end would). I think the “similar applications” h

Since e^(2πi) = 1, we can also conclude that e^(2πifx) = 1^(fx). This makes Complex Fourier Transforms quite trivial.

I have more or less the same experience like you. Logging is a very resilient and adaptable technique – I can use it on my laptop or on remote HPC clusters, almost regardless of programming language (except maybe Haskell), it works fine on

Quantum annealers (like DWave) can solve optimization problems efficiently. But they can’t run general quantum algorithms such as Shor’s algorithm, that requires a general quantum computer (like what IBM and Google are doing).

Did you try “A / ( 1 kW )” just to see if that works? Sounds like it doesn’t understand that 1 and kW are parts of the same “thing”.

Pandoc can convert MarkDown to Man pages so in that sense we’re halfway there. (But I agree that native support would be nice.)

Perhaps we should make a language with a hard cap on the number of “features” in the language syntax + standard library. For everything you propose to add, you would then also need to propose something to remove.
