I'd love to see a version of the article marked up with information about which parts of these examples were fraudulent, and how, all with Matt Levine-style snark.

On rewatching it I'm certainly not as impressed. Maybe I was just enjoying watching some anti-hype for once. Currently reading https://caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/2019/11/02/starlink-is-a- ... which seems

The video doesn't make that assumption. It has relatively straightforward calculations about the size of the market, the existing competitors, the number of satellites needed to support a customer base of whatever size given SpaceX&#x2

Can you elaborate on what is wrong with it?

I’ve been fairly skeptical about Starlink since watching Common Sense Skeptic’s video, which I recommend: https://youtu.be/2vuMzGhc1cg

I've been exploring hypergraphs a lot over the last 12 months. They are an incredibly rich way to look at a lot of existing (and new) mathematics, so much so that I think hypergraphs will have a good chance to become a signature mat

Funny this showing up here -- fractons are one of the first things I came across in pursuing my strange belief that fundamental particles are manifestations of defects in some "space-time crystal". But where Seiberg says “Quantum

Just thought the same thing. Funny that they spent probably an entire minute worth of skit on it.

I've been learning representation theory (among other topics) from his Youtube lectures! They're a real treasure trove. And he's got a dry sense of humor that I quite like. I can also recommend this interview with him by Curt

I'm certainly not claiming to be a "real physicist", whatever that is, but I'm involved in the project (I actually named and continue to work on the "token-event graphs" that Max Piskunov developed for his loca

The attention ecosystems of entertainment, science, computing seem to favor a model people who are good at self-promoting a particular "brand" of work that really represents the labor of a much larger group of people. This simplif

Funny coincidence that two days ago I rewatched James Cameron's 1989 movie The Abyss, in which perflourocarbon breathing features as a major plot device. Great movie!

Notability (and also concepts) has turned into a big part of my process of "live thinking". A lot of what you said has resonated deeply with me. Is there any way I can get in touch to discuss further?

While the continual one-upmanship of ever more intricate biologically plausible learning rules is interesting to observe (and I played around at one point with a variant of the original feedback alignment), I think OP's alternative vie

So personally I'm quite excited about the whole "multiway" point of view on non-determinism. The causal graphs that Stephen presents here are one way of summarizing how local events interact with one another across the space

Is anyone aware of a resource that collects examples of what complex numbers “encode” in various settings in which they naturally appear? For example, complex numbers in the eigendecomposition of a real-valued square matrix encode permutati

From people with more experience than me: does JAX have a good story about how to manage state cleanly, where it needs to occur?

Haha I was going to mention Reich Remixed! I spent a lot of time programming to that music when I was a teen. Definitely fun! My favorite track was probably Nobukazu Takemura’s remix of Proverb https://youtu.be/-ipSM8bwo4M

Reich is brilliant! “Come out” is a very affecting piece, and the history behind it is also quite interesting. Also, judging from the name, OP is probably also a fan of Arvo Part. There is a moving “video etude” for the piece Healing of Ari

That’s cool. What do you make of the algebra of the dihedrons? https://youtu.be/lqH4BLHGsFw . It’s a “sister algebra” of the quaternions.

Yeah. There is this system wide bug on iOS where the animations actually BLOCK user input / state changes. You can see this if you type in your pass code fast enough on the lock screen, such that you are interrupting the animated fade
