max_likelihood

Thanks for sharing Tridi! I found it very easy to use and I liked the fact I could dump my images into a local folder and be done. With js-cloudimage-360-view, I first had to create an account on cloudimage.io to get a token (for CDN delivery) and then put my images on S3, Google Cloud or Azure Blob which require credit card information for the free trial.

Thanks for linking. My tldr from the top-rated answer: the components of a Tensor can be written in "matrix" form (i.e. a 2D array of numbers), but the Tensor is not that matrix. Ultimately, "a Tensor is what transforms like a Tensor".

I have often seen Tensors introduced in the context of Einstein's General Relativity. I read this article on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19055994 a few weeks back and found it really helpful.

Even though I don't know what a Tensor is, I had a suspicion that TensorFlow was really just "MatrixFlow". I felt validated after reading myth 1, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around the difference between Tensors & Matrices. I have a feeling that I missing out on something beautiful, like Fourier Transforms, and when I finally get it a deep smile will spread across my face.

I agree it's confusing. If you consider a random variable X whose value is the rank of a randomly chosen elliptic curve. Then I believe this article is saying X converges in probability [1] to 50%/50%.

Similarly related is the concept of "Almost Surely" [2]. Wikipedia includes a great example with throwing a dart.

Perhaps BACON would have discovered Kepler's 4th law if the AI was programmed by mystics? :)

Beautiful work. I set this: https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*y8eAZdMBfXkIB2S8X... as my new desktop background ;)

I really enjoyed this documentary. It's where I learned the term "Zarro Boogs". At one point jwz (Jamie Zawinski) makes a comment which essentially foreshadows net neutrality. I was also blown away by Stuart Parmenter contributing to the code base at age 16!

I wonder how this compares to docs written in VuePress? (https://vuepress.vuejs.org/guide/)

Seems like the top and bottom ribbons would work. But the ribbons on the side get a kink every 2 rotations that the animation sort of sweeps under the rug?

I went through some very traumatic experiences during my sophomore year of high school. I can't say 100% that it "started" my trich, but within that same year, I began pulling coarse/kinky black hairs from my head because I felt like they were out of place. I was fascinated by their presence among all my blonde hair. Moving into college I started targeting other more subtle areas like sideburns and my beard. I found that I could pull on these areas in the middle of class without drawing much attention to myself. Back in the privacy of my dorm room, I would pull pubic hairs to relieve the stress I felt while racking my brain over challenging math problems (I was a math major). During this same time, I also developed an addiction to pornography.

Fast forward, I just had my 33rd birthday. I haven't looked at pornography in over 5 years. But I'm still struggling with pulling out my hair. And that's how I know how much of a stronghold this has on my life. I do it mainly when I'm self-soothing or just under a lot of stress. I know my triggers and I still can't defeat this thing. I have tried N-acetylcysteine, shaving my hair short, prayer. My wife will even swat my hand down (bless her heart) if she sees me reaching for a hair. But then I end up getting mad at her for not letting me have my fix.

My theory is that I don't truly value and love myself and that's why I'm willing to inflict damage upon myself. Sometimes I even use pulling to "punish" myself for not understanding technical things. It's self-mutilating and there is a lot of shame and guilt associated with it.

I'm still hopeful that one day I can overcome this habit (disorder?). I sure as hell don't want to have kids and have them grow up watching daddy pull hairs.

On Linux Mint, I had to use `{ "keys": ["ctrl+alt+o"], "command": "terminal_view_open" }` in Preferences > Key Bindings because "ctrl_alt+t" was opening up my system Terminal.

Wow, mind blown. Unfortunately, even with an undergraduate degree in mathematics, I was lost after this paragraph:

`This made me eager to find a proof that all the even moments of the probability distribution of distances between points on the unit sphere in \mathbb{R}^d are integers when \mathbb{R}^d is an associatve normed division algebra.`

Nonetheless, very interesting!

Very cool! I find the pixelated images to be quite charming. One thing I noticed, when I go to https://text.brow.sh it reads: `Welcome to the Browsh plain text client. You can use it by appending URLs like this; https://html.brow.sh/https://www.brow.sh`. Should it be `https://text.brow.sh/https://www.brow.sh` instead?
