Mathematical physicist at UC Riverside. Wrote This Week's Finds in Mathematical Physics and now the Azimuth blog on mathematics, physics and environmental science.
A vector looks like an arrow; anyone studying math or physics in college learns about these. Bivectors are important too - though less widely taught. You can create a bivector by taking the 'wedge product' u ∧ v of two vectors u and v, and you can visualize this as the parallelogram shown at left here. But in fact, an ellipse or any other flat surface with the same area lying in the same plane is just as good a picture of this bivector. Further, you can add bivectors, so there are bivectors like u ∧ v + w ∧ z that you can't picture as just a single surface. Thus, you need to be good at the al… Related

For those who were wondering: my total write time for this article was 16 hours not including research and development. The diagram format is a complete experiment. Hope you all like it! Quoting @tigrisdata.com If our objgit post was so good last time, where's objgit post 2? Today we have an update on the epic saga of Xe reinventing Git storage on top of object storage: making seek-native packfiles. What does this mean? Well, git is complicated. Huddle into this thread!

How do you feel when you wake up and before bed and how easily do you fall asleep? The time in bed in the morning and at night tells you all you need to know. It's not a purely intellectual reasoning. It's not a pro and con list. It's not a spreadsheet. It’s not a Venn diagram. It's like, how do you feel? And are you even aware of how you're feeling? How much energy have you spent blocking out feeling, because you don't want to feel certain things? To borrow from Tara Brach, she said to me once, “There was a wise old sage who said, ‘There's really only one question worth considering and that… energy Related

The early money paid $75 billion for stakes in MuskWorld now marked at $1.57 trillion: 20x. But the cash flows to justify that do not exist. They are not on any horizon. So why?

Economist; former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund.
There is indeed a central bank balance sheet hole. But the budget deficit remains the same. So no cash flow improvement. Quoting @JohnHCochrane @ojblanchard1 Not quite. The ecb must still pay interest on reserves. It gives profits back to the government not receipts. And cancelling principal leaves a bit balance sheet hole interest rates Related

Mathematician at UCLA, working mainly in harmonic analysis and partial differential equations. Writes What's new, a long-running blog on their research, open problems and expository notes.
In my recent ICM talk, I displayed a diagram of the life cycle of an individual problem, from an open problem all the way to a definitive solution, with a key point being that AI tools have been far more effective at accelerating some portions of this cycle than others. A point which I made verbally in the talk, but not in the image, was that the definitive solutions to problems also formed the base for subsequent progress in the field, both by suggesting new key problems to work on, and to supply new techniques to tackle these problems. I therefore enclose a further evolution of the diagram… Related

which is that the the Venn diagram of developer experience and agent experience is a circle. And the point here is that, you know, what we do that that's good for the agents is good for the humans and vice versa. I'm hearing a lot of feedback saying, "Yeah, actually, if you have well-modularized code, that actually makes it easy for the agents to work with."

For the most part, it’s like these names are just utterly arbitrary, so you have no thing to latch on to. It’s not really a thing that our brain does very well to learn meaningless, arbitrary stuff. So what you need to do is build connections somehow, visualize a connection, and sometimes it’s obvious or sometimes it’s not.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
