I understand that. The crux of the article is supposedly being able to apply what we learned with easy small vector space to infinite function vector space : we can't. But he's taking the example of polynomials and analytical func

Seems like a great idea. How would that work with multiple branches ? One task might be implemented in a different branch, we might want to have a global overview of all the tasks being coded in the main branch All data is saved under b

But it's the article talking about vectors as a sequence of reals and having a basis, then extending that to infinite sequences of reals. The author is playing on multiple definitions of vector to produce a "woaw that's cool&

Vectors in the way he talks about in the beginning. With indices (and then extending to "In higher dimensions, vectors start to look more like functions!"). Of course if you use the general meaning of every word, vectors are funct

I think it is "vector" taken in the way the author wrote about it / showed illustrations in the article. For the second sentence, he's right, we could also write (wrongly) an article titled "Functions are Sequences&

Finite degree polynomials are vectors yes. Polynomials is a typical example you study when learning about linear algebra. Doesn't say anything about real functions in general though, I don't think any linear algebra course should

The author seems to be a great educator and computer scientist, much respect to his work. But from what I can gather, although I'd love to study more infinite sized matrices, he proved / showed nothing in this article. What he wro

I agree but we're using functions for different things here. Yes some specific families of functions can be treated as vector spaces. In this article it seems like the author is pretending to take all real->real functions and treati

I agree but I'm operating under the assumption of the article Conceptualizing functions as infinite-dimensional vectors lets us apply the tools of linear algebra to a vast landscape of new problems

Isn't this the opposite way ? Vectors are functions whose input space are discrete dimensions. Let's not pretend going from natural numbers to real is "simple", reals numbers are a fascinating non-obvious math discovery.

I think we’re a lot of developers who are frustrated by constantly needing to choose between code or GUI… both have their use case, but I feel like there must be a system that combines both.

Ah yes this kind of interface ok indeed this doesn't seem like a useful layer when running the program. Maybe the compilers could optimize this though

Your two first examples, you just hide the complexity by using another tool, no ? And I don’t see how number 3 is simpler. In my maths head I can easily create bijective spaces. Emulating backward migration through others means might be har
