Husband and father of a large brood of chaos monkeys. I love it almost all the time. Engineering PhD, but I love math, science, philosophy, poetry, sociology, animals, and the Oxford comma. I design things for people. I started in ML before it was cool. Resident of Silicon Valley without the mindset.

Dan Drake 🦆OMG, where was this article when I was first learning about tensor products?
https://www.math3ma.com/blog/the-tensor-product-demystified
In 10 minutes I learned more about tensor products than I did in grad school. In particular, I see more of the connection between the way math uses tensor products and how physicist types think of them, as higher-dimensional matrices.
This kind of thing really riles me up. It's the kind of thing that makes me want to go back to teaching, because it hits the exact personality/psychological trait that makes me like teaching: I learn about some cool math thing and I want to charge into a classroom and say "GUYS! I just figured this out! It's so cool and interesting! OMG tensor products are the best, let me show you why!"
It bothers me that I was taught about tensor products in such a bad way. I want students to get something better than I did.
(OTOH, maybe I'm just not very smart, or was a bad student. That's a real possibility. But how great would it be for even dim bulbs and lazy students to get *something* out of learning about a topic?)
Alex von Thorn🇨🇦🇺🇸🚀🖊🖖Watching #StarTrek #DeepSpaceNine episode where Gul Dukat declaiming to Major Kira how slavery and oppression heped the Bajorans learned skills and benefited from forced labor and Cardassian occupation. At the time, this was meant to be about depicting a science fiction dystopia. Today it would be seen as a "#woke" allegory...

Miriam BooshI think it’s time I introduce you to the President of Ireland. Michael D Higgins. He is the most precious thing we have. All the stereotypes about Ireland are true. We are hobbits.
Renaud ChaputFull text search has been merged in #Mastodon `main` branch, and will be in the next (and final?) 4.2.0 beta 🎉
It is opt-in, so it will take some time to be filled with people content as they enable their profile to be indexed, but this was one of the most wanted Mastodon features for some time.
We plan to deploy it to mastodon.social and mastodon.online in the coming days to have a bit more feedback on it and see how it behaves in the wild.

Deborah PickettIf you live in a city with tall buildings, take a look at the night skyline. The buildings probably have flashing lights on them to help aircraft pilots to identify the shapes of buildings and not fly into them.
You might notice that the buildings flash in synchrony, even though they are hundreds of metres apart. What's going on?
