I've always thought the use of "Tensor" in the "TensorFlow" library is a misnomer. I'm not too familiar with ML/theory, is there a deeper geometric meaning to the multi-dimensional array of numbers we are multiplying or is "MatrixFlow" a more appropriate name?
KEXP as well. My Apple Music consumption has gone way down after discovering this amazing terrestrial radio station. They put on great concerts also that can be viewed on YouTube.

Hey, thanks for the reply. That sounds really nice!

I wonder, which aspects of the "Go" std lib are considered strong? Would you say it is more like .net where the std-lib also comes with framework-grade capabilities such as REST-endpoints and setting up applications?

Because in the classical sense of a library, I think Java is fantastic (collections, strings, NIO, HTTP 2.0, etc.). But it misses framework-level out-of-the-box solutions.
I'm surprised Patreon is going along with this, rather than disabling purchases on iOS like other companies. iOS backers must be a significant portion of their revenue.

Not out of the box, but I use Hammerspoon to implement a global hotkey to show WezTerm: https://github.com/jaminthorns/environment/blob/a609e81f3f41...

I don't have a keybinding to hide, but you could easily achieve that by inspecting the active window with `hs.window.focusedWindow()`/`hs.window.frontmostWindow()` and making the behavior conditional based on the application: https://www.hammerspoon.org/docs/hs.window.html#focusedWindo...

In WezTerm, you can control whether the terminal is always on top with the `ToggleAlwaysOnTop` action: https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/lua/keyassignment/Togg...
> Talk to a computer scientist, and they might tell you that a tensor is an array of numbers that stores important data

The conflicting definitions of tensors have precedent in lower dimensions: vectors were already being used in computer science to mean something different than in mathematics / physics, long before the current tensormania.

Its not clear if that ambiguity will ever be a practical problem though. For as long as such structures are containers of numerical data with no implied transformation properties we are really talking about two different universes.

Things might get interesting though in the overlap between information technology and geometry [1] :-)

BI tools need a serious update
We were frustrated with how hard it can sometimes be to find insights in all the data we have in our databases and tools like Google Analytics.

We have gotten so used to simply talking to a chatbot that now we expect our analytic tool to do the same. I ask and you should give me what I need: you go to my database, get the results and display it either in natural language, in a chart or in a table.

All the pieces were already there, we just had to put them together, so we did :)

We believe we are tapping into something amazing.
Check it out, and please tell us what you think :)

As a longtime YouTube creator who uses Patreon for financial support, the news is even worse: Patreon informed me that all creators must switch to a monthly subscription schedule instead of the per-creation schedule that I and many other currently use. The whole point of per-creation is that it allows me to take time off, and only charge people when I release something, thus incentivizing me, and being fair to my supporters. I'm really annoyed by this change, and will start pushing back, but if it happens as planned, I may be forced to switch to another platform, or come up with some other solution.
I think the right mental model is pass-by-value for the first two. There is nothing different in the calling convention between sending a parameter of type int* vs a parameter of type int. They are both pass-by-value. The value of a pointer happens to be a reference to an object, while the value of an int is an int. In both cases, the semantics is that the value of the expression passed to the function is copied to a local variable in the function.

Depending on the language, that is very likely the whole picture of how function calls work. In a rare few modern languages, this is not true: in C# and C++, when you have a reference parameter, things get sonewhat more complicated. When you pass an expression to a reference parameter, instead of copying the value of evaluating that expression into the parameter of the function, the parameter is that value itself. It's probably easier to explain this as passing a pointer to the result of the expression + some extra syntax to auto-dereference the pointer.
The environmental problems we have today already have solutions in the lab, it's just about making them economical and scaling them up.

> why would I worry if in centuries we are a billion less?

Indeed, this is my position too. Hyperbolic discounting of the future: we don't know what's coming, let the future sort itself out and worry about the next 5 years.

25 years, we might get AI good enough for robot workforce and we can all retire instantly with no need for more kids entering the workforce to replace the pensioners, might get anti-aging and an end to old-age pensions, might get both, might get neither.

(That said, the example I gave was a reduction to, not by, 6.9%; it would be a global population of 552 million).
I would argue that today, geometric algebra/Clifford calculus and space time algebra are more intuitive and useful.

Gibbs/Heavysides vectors were more popular at the time.

At least for me.

> That's exactly why it's done that way. Because the tax is different in every state, county, city, and sometimes an even smaller region. There is something like 2,500 different tax jurisdictions in the USA.

It's quite ridiculous.

I played around once with the tax rate and boundary files [1] provided by the ~23 states that are in the Streamlined Sales Tax system. I remember finding several cases where a tax boundary ran through an office complex so the tax rate would be different between 123 Fake Street, Suite 100 and 123 Fake Street, Suite 200.

This is very annoying because it means to compute the tax you need a full address. For online sales of downloadable digital goods tax is often the only thing you need a full address for. For the actual sale all you need is a credit card number, the card security code, the billing zip code, and an email address to send a receipt to. And actually you usually don't even need the security code and billing zip but not providing them may lead to higher fees due to increased fraud risk.

Looking up tax by full address is annoying because the address people think they are at often doesn't quite match the official address for that location. They might use the wrong directional prefix or suffix, or put them on the wrong end, or give the local nickname people use for a street instead of the actual name, to give a few examples.

I found a way that worked surprisingly well, despite that. I'd take the address as supplied by the user and find the zip code and the building number. I'd then select from the boundary database all locations that matched the zip and building number.

So say the address is 123 NW Fake ST, Mycity, Mystate, 12345. I'd find all boundary file entries with zip 12345 and an address range that included 123. Note this just looks at number and zip, so would not include Fake ST but also any other street in that zip that includes house number 123.

For each of those I'd make the full address from the boundary file: building number, then any direction prefixes, then street name, then any type suffixes ("St", "Ave", etc), then any direction suffixes, then city, then state, then zip.

I'd then compute the Levenshtein distance between each of those and the address given by the user and take the one with the smallest distance.

Anyone know how the companies that provide tax lookup services handle this? I assume they do something way more sophisticated than my hack described above.

I really do think that software engineering as we know it is ending. It will take 3-5 years for tools like this to mature. But it will happen, and hard fought skill sets like SQL database design, query design, and maybe even ORMs will become obsolete.

My biggest prediction is that ORMs will not be necessary when LLMs can generate SQL. Low level SQL is a better abstraction for LLMs than ORMs, and as people are removed from the equation, so too will abstractions built to help them craft code.
My theory is that they cancelled the poetry event the year they expected the Vogon delegation to arrive.

It does work that way. However, Flutter and now React (via their new compiler) are becoming smarter at rerendering, where they will only rerender what has truly changed, not just rerender the entire tree below the changed component.

In general deaths from cancer are down considerably. I'm having trouble finding exact stats I want, but believe this is the case for young people as well.

Cases of cancer that result in fatality have been and will always be counted pretty close to 100%, since they will eventually seek medical help.

Cases of cancer that are less serious are more likely to be diagnosed when medical care is good.

The survival rate of cancer is over 50%.

it should be the first athlete to ENTIRELY cross the line

a) Why entirely across, and not just the first to touch the line?

b) I get that basing it on the whole body feels a bit more objective, but it would probably also lead to people diving over the line to gain a few milliseconds. As well as looking a bit silly it could be dangerous. The lean through a (now virtual) tape at chest height is traditional.
I agree with most of this.

> Easy privacy/identity management per app.

Now that Passkeys are a thing, browsers could theoretically create an anonymous, ephemeral account for you automatically on any site that requests that. Or alternately/additionally, maybe a "synced localstorage" feature could reduce or eliminate the need to have accounts for many cases.

> Easy payment processing builtin to browser.

This already exists on mobile and works quite well, though desktop support is a bit lacking. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Payment_Req...

> Easy social that spans apps that we fully control

User-friendly decentralized social media is an unsolved problem. Maybe if Mastodon or Nostr or Matrix ever overcomes those challenges and starts to take off browsers can start integrating support.

Sources seem to be pretty consistent in saying that on average, native app users are significantly more profitable for companies than web users. While I'm sure that's partially because the most dedicated users of a given service are the most likely to install the native app, an app does afford more opportunity to collect data about the user and to attempt to grab the user's attention.

As a user, I strongly prefer websites for this sort of thing. I'll pay attention when it suits me, not when the service wants me to. It does explain why Patreon wants to have an app though.

Got it, totally missed the sarcasm there.

I would expect a socialist to be onboard with cancelling student debt though. They'd just want it to be part of the government taking over education more completely. Schooling wouldn't be something one pays for at all because the government would be responsible for providing it (and deciding who has access to it).

It continues to boggle my mind that this behavior of unpredictably changing controls on a dangerous piece of equipment is accepted. Does anyone wish that the manufacturer could unexpectedly change the controls and safety features of their table saw, hunting rifle, or home fuse box? Of course not, that would be stupid and dangerous. But somehow Tesla's marketing has convinced a lot of people that it's fine or even a bonus when it happens with their vehicle.

It's not an idle worry either, many people have talked about the dangerous episodes they've had driving when basic controls were suddenly hidden from them. I've personally experienced it as well, riding with a relative in their Tesla. It started raining on the freeway, the auto wipers weren't turning on, and neither of us could quickly find the manual controls while hurtling down the freeway because they had moved since the car owner had last used them.
As I get older, overly opinionated and dismissive maintainers are perhaps the biggest red flag for avoiding a project now. They often have what looks like the best product out there, but once you get embedded in the product you get stuck in their choices and have nowhere to turn.
But doesn't the same line of though still apply? Making a bowling lane in your back yard or in a community center is pretty cheap if you set the pins manually.

In terms of costs for a training spot with Olympic-like conditions it would be pretty middle of the pack and probably in the cheaper half. It's more expensive than say table tennis or marathon, but a lot cheaper than swimming, pole vault or golf, never mind the heavy hitters like ski jumping.
What? No one in the Flutter team got fired. The only ones who potentially had something to do with it were people on the Google Cloud team that ran the pipelines for Flutter builds, but even then, they didn't directly work on Flutter, and their roles just got outsourced anyway to Europe, so it's not like Flutter itself was actually affected.
As a former academic in tech I'm tickled that you think 'a deep dive' is normative while 'to delve' strikes your ear as strange.

Nowhere, the camera takes an image of a single line in time (and what the camera sees is the canonical finish line). The visual finish line isn't where that camera is looking, so it's never captured. The left and right of that camera isn't space, it's time (right is earlier, left is later).

If you read the other comments and the article the camera is one pixel wide, each vertical column in the image IS a frame. It's ensured with physics. It's a bit subtle but makes sense once you grok that. So each pixel left is 1/40,000 later

Thank you again for your suggestion.

And (as you already knew -- and now I do too!) you are correct. The Jellyfin server no longer crashes when trying to shuffle all my tracks (~20,000).

And when I view my music by "Songs", I can shuffle all the tracks without issue while using the web interface via Firefox. Hooray! I never got that far with jellyfin before.

Unfortunately, the Roku jellyfin client (again, this is my use case) doesn't have a view by "songs" option. As such, in order to shuffle all my tracks, I needed use a playlist (an actual m3u playlist rather than a jellyfin playlist -- as I don't really want to have to individually click on 20,000 tracks and add them to a jellyfin playlist -- which might or might not work anyway).

Which isn't a big deal, as I already used such playlists elsewhere. But attempting to play or shuffle such a playlist fails. Not just on the Roku client, but on Firefox as well.

So I guess I'm either going to have to wait for jellyfin clients to support such large m3u playlists, or until the Roku client has a "Songs" view.

Again, thanks for your heads up. It was much appreciated!

With Soyuz out of the picture, if Boeing can’t get it together aren’t they basically 100% dependent on SpaceX?

And the head of SpaceX is, shall we say, not giving off strong vibes of calm consistency right now.

Single sourcing is never great. The article even mentions the problem of when the astronauts got stuck in space on ISS for a very long time after Columbia.

While Boeing is strategically important, some of this may simply be there are no other good options out there right now for a second source.

We don’t want to depend on China. We’re not on good terms with Russia. Is there anything else available?

Luck is a matter of time and networking. If you do the right stuff, eventually you will get lucky.
The definition may be simple, but it's not very concrete and I'd argue that makes it not strait forward. While examples of vector spaces can be very concrete (think R, R^2, R^30), I struggle to think of a concrete example of a multilinear function from vectors and dual vectors in V to numbers in K. On top of that when working with tensors, you don't usually use the definition os a multilinear function at least as far as I remember.
probably the most popular instances of this approach are firefox, chromium, and safari. the unix shell, godot, unity, unreal engine, truetype, and postscript are probably also worth a mention

A cure for much arthritis is possibly a Nutritarian Diet promoted by Dr. Joel Fuhrman which reduces inflammation and helps the body rebuild:
https://www.drfuhrman.com/blog/119/a-progressive-approach-to...
"The traditional treatment of rheumatoid arthritis revolves around medications which typically include steroids and chemotherapeutic agents such as methotrexate, Imuran®, Gold®, Plaquenil®, Arava® and Remicade®. These medications are considerably toxic and can result in serious disability.
My approach to treating rheumatoid arthritis differs in that it incorporates dietary modifications and nutritional supplements, avoiding the use of toxic drugs in the vast majority of cases. The recommendations are customized to the needs and response of each patient to treatment and involve more than just putting them on a special diet. However, in most cases, dramatic improvements and even complete recoveries occur.
In spite of well-conducted scientific investigations and the clinical experience of many physicians, this effective nutritional treatment of autoimmune disease is generally ignored. I have seen scores of patients with rheumatoid arthritis as well as lupus, fibromyalgia and connective tissue disease obtain complete recoveries through these natural interventions. Also, I have many patients who have made complete recoveries from allergies and asthma. Not every patient obtains a complete remission, but the majority is able to avoid the use of medication."

The big problem in our current society is that there is no substantial money to be made by big companies in promoting these sorts of cures.
Yes. But it's quite possible that NASA's deciders made the real "Sorry, Boeing!" decision a while back - and are letting things seem to drag out for the sake of appearances. (No "uninformed/rushed/secret decision", nor "anti-Boeing bias", nor whatever.)
