Unit tests have lots of advantages, but cons are ignored: - Code must be split to testable parts. Often requiring more interfaces, which add code bloat and complexity. - Each call site is a dependency. Test case = +1 dependency. Added inertia to refactor and throw away code. ...

This is an ingenious way to present the Fourier transform by Paul Tadrous! Fourier Transform made tangible.

Something new! John Chang and I have been exploring home-made software. We created a tool for making scrappy little apps for just you and your friends — we call it Scrappy. Here I'm making a simple counter. More details and full writeup below.

Just watched this mind boggling talk by Hamish Todd and it is lovely to see his work on geometric algebra converging in this direction. Particularly curious is its interaction between information geometry and active inference!

Study physics! AI is just an application
