You'd think every computer should be able to divide two numbers, but early microprocessors didn't have division instructions. The Intel 8086 (1978) was one of the first with division. Let's look at how it implemented division and why division is so hard.

And when push came to shove, our employer University of Groningen did not hesitate to make the decision to end the peaceful demonstration in a violent way. We are shocked by the violence the police displayed tonight. 1/

“They're trying to blame the people that are struggling to exist…the people that are still grappling with the results of British and European and now capitalist imperialism, for our problems over here.” Watch Mick Lynch warn Irish workers against the dangers of the far-right.

I believe the hardest part of mathematics is developing intuition. You can memorise and use definitions and theorems, but that doesn't mean you really understand them. It takes time to develop an intuition around mathematical concepts and it can be difficult to accept this fact.

So apparently in 2023 principal component analysis latent spaces can be said to have an "internal world model" (figure from John Novembre et al., 2008). Turns out that the "singular" in singular value decomposition refers to the singularity!

A poem. Let's get right about our support for the colonized people of the world and those who’ve been refused the right to movement. Their struggles are going to grow more dire, and we’re going to be asked to give real, tangible support.

I was glad to find this little gem. It’s a 24-page writeup that is a great teaching tool, especially in introductory classes, and particularly at the undergraduate level. The writeup seems to be out of print, but still available (albeit at a rather outrageous price)

There is no evidence that either Khelif or Lin has XY chromosomes or elevated levels of testosterone. These men, who do not care at all about women, just want to stir up trans panics to build their far-right agenda. More: jphilll.com/p/transphobia-….

If you’re waiting around for the perfect movement, you’re going to be waiting a long time. There won’t be any struggle that doesn’t make mistakes, and your sitting out of that process isn’t going to make the struggle any closer to perfect.
