I think they are talking about the word embeddings, where context is embedded into high geometric dimensions (one dimension might capture how 'feminine' a word is, or how 'blue' it is).


Which word embeddings get their own dimension though, and which don't? ("feminine" and "blue" are words like any other)


My extremely naive understanding is that the more useful ones, which also tend to be structures of language like gender or color, get their own dimensions, and other embedding are represented with combinations.

A weak illustration of this is this site[1], from an HN post a few months ago[2].

maybe it's like a PCA/Huffman deal, where the more regularly useful ones get to be the eigenvectors.


ooooh what if qualia is just embedding? some philosophers would get their toga in a twist!


Not Wittgenstein :cool:

Where should I write posts at? All good advice thank you.


On your website, do some very basic SEO (tags and other menial <head> content) (or something like medium? I self host everything)

You can then share links to posts at appropriate times and in appropriate context (like answering someone's question and giving them a place to learn more through a link, don't spam it around, always be genuinely helpful first)

keep in mind you are in a crowded market, lots of people try to build stock market tools, very few ever get used

My advice works better when you have a specialty or niche (generally specialties and niches do better)


Yes I think you are right, it was funny to me but I see your point.

I haven't yet posted to Show I'll do that after I make those changes, thanks!


> the researchers observed, for the first time, that it forms discrete energy bands called Landau levels

Isn't this huge news? Discrete energy levels for photons?


That's Lorentzian geometry and Minkowski space from the 1900's and created for Relativity.

This is Euclidian geometry, much older and more 'accepted'.


I imagine there would still be a relationship with `c` in a fourth spatial dimension, but it might be useful for taking shortcuts around 3d space without having to violate causality.


I'm sure you are right on that.

I'm going to have to plead ignorance on this. Which will likely not surprise you.

I'll have more than the cursory read through the article in an attempt to educate myself.


Yeah this book takes me back too. It is very approachable and yeah even fun.


Same here, I've been slogging through with raw sympy this tool looks great.

How do I speed up the start time for it - any ideas? Recompile it with PyPy or similar?


I think PyPy usually has slower startup time. Need to try to defer some of the imports to be done in the background, see how good is the outcome. Feel free to open an issue in github.


Are these magic rocks for sale?


What are you going to do with the steam boiler ?


It's a research project, I am mostly self taught and I wanted to build a small archive of materials that would be enough to help a human survive the apocalypse. Farming & Animal husbandry, Metallurgy, Manufacture of goods, Pumps/engines, Electricity, a few other things.

My project is to index the volumes in the next few years and starting some of my own projects, so probably just doing some repairs on small things to start and moving on up!
