Density plot of eigenvalues from 1 million 10×10 tridiagonal matrices w/ entries randomly chosen from {0, ±1, ±i, ±10, ±10i, ±20, ±20i}. viewing window is [-48-48i, 48+48i]. The color represents eigenvalue density. #Python #MathArt #SciArt #CreativeCoding #Mathematics
On your phone while grabbing a cart with the other hand? Algorithms are easy. It's the preparatory data munging I hate.
Tip of the day is the start of a question you can ask chatbots:
"Here's my shopping list. Can you regroup it so items that are close together in Trader Joe's end up in the same groups..."

By strapping a pair of hair dryers to a vacuum cleaner the UK has found it can save £130,000,000 per year on equipment.
The Army needs to become "10 times more lethal" to face a "new era of threats", defence secretary says.
Someone spent their £1.99 well.
Eigenvalues for 15 million random 10×10 tridiagonal matrices w/ entries sampled from the discrete set {0, ±1, ±i, ±20, ±20i}. The image shows the density of eigenvalues in the complex plane, with brighter regions indicating higher concentration. #Python #MathArt #SciArt #CreativeCoding #Mathematics
The now viral, incorrect meme that LLMs are just next token predictors is causing so much confusion
I do consider it. A friend has family in the oil business and said that when they dealt with George W Bush before he was president he seemed like a person of normal intelligence. But it seems like such a cynical thing to do. Do people behave like this? Do they hate their electorate this much?
The fact that people like this exist is an insult to anyone anywhere who's ever bothered to learn anything. She has a degree from the University of South Dakota. I can't imagine what kind of institution this is that can produce such ignorance and stupidity.
HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?
NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country
HASSAN: That's incorrect
My daughter just sent me this meme about induction stoves and proof by induction. My work is done.
