I have FOMO for the #mathtsodon instance. I get that i can easily migrate profile from an instance to the next, including followings, but my understanding is that it is not automatic for followers. Am I correct ?

Even better, they even provide an easy-to-run #algorithm (#Matlab code)! Let's look at Cauchy—Schwarz in the pictures below. This is a very simple example, but it can do much more. This should tell you enough to make you want to try it!

Code (and paper proving its correctness) available on Greg Valiant's page: https://theory.stanford.edu/~valiant/pap_link.html

[I am working with a student to convert it to other languages and improve the interface]

Reposting here, as this could be of interest to the #mathematics community: the automatic inequality prover of Greg and Paul Valiant, which lets you to automatically check and (dis)prove a whole bunch of inequalities.

Basically any inequality that's a combination of Hölder and ℓp-monotonicity-type #math #maths #tools

You give a candidate inequality in that form, and the output will be either a #proof that it doesn't hold, or a message saying that it does& how to prove it!

The claims in this early #Twitter engineer’s explainer sound so completely nuts that, after everything we’ve seen so far, it may actually be spot on: https://davetroy.medium.com/no-elon-and-jack-are-not-competitors-theyre-collaborating-3e88cde5267d
No, Elon and Jack are not “competitors.” They’re collaborating.

Wherein I attempt to clarify a number of ridiculous and false narratives currently taking hold about Musk and Dorsey’s “rivalry.”

@hellman @bruteforce Nice ! I think I'll implement the non recursive version with k^3/2 though... My k's are not that large ;)

But thanks all for the lively discussion !

"Ecrire un script python qui produit une image" était le thème 2022 de notre 1er projet en 1ère #NSI.

@supersingular right . having saved the central square you are left with two similar triangle of half the size. So in the case the calls follow a perfect diagonal m+n= cste, by induction this should take you down to k log k. The general online case might be more tricky...
@hellman In other words, I do *not* know how to go left or up, i.e. computing f(n,m) from f(n+1,m) nor from f(n,m+1).

@hellman

Think of a grid. I know how to move to the right, and to the bottom from any previously visited point.

I want visit a list of points that are not given in advance. All I know is that list of point moves in the left-bottom direction.

Greedy strategy can lead you to have visiting the whole triangle, hence k^2 / 2.

In fact, the worst case cost me about 1/2 * k^2 calls. Can I even just improve that 1/2 constant ?
