I'm procrastinating on my multiagent RL project for class by thumbing through Needham's Visual Differential Geometry. My god, it's full of pictures
@thegradient @BenjaminHan yeah, the main issue I see is that the only way to implement this currently is by forking mastodon, which is a maintenance burden since you have to periodically update the patch to the latest release. The maintainer already rejected the idea of merging this functionality into the main codebase (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/822), so barring some kind of plugin system the only way to implement it is via a fork

It would be great if Mastodon client could render mathematical equations in the toots. This can be very easily accomplished for web clients by including the MathJax script (62 Kb).

@ashishgaurav_13 OpenAI's "Spinning Up" website has a page with the proof. Haven't fully gone through it yet though:

I was originally aggravated why neither "Grokking Deep RL" nor the GAE paper justified the interchangeability of total reward versus go-to-reward in the policy gradient. Surely the leap can't be that involved! Then I learned.
i would like to get off the ride now

@BenjaminHan I may have a look at this when I get some time. looks like the mathstodon fork is available on github, so there may not be much work to do provided that we trust their implementation!

pretty jealous of the LaTeX support on mathstodon. that's one thing making me think that I should abandon social media and make blogging great again

I suppose setting up my own mastodon instance with LaTeX support is another option, albeit a more time-consuming one
