Turns out all you really need for automatic differentiation at compile time is to encode your tensor shenanigans, differential geometry as algebraic data types with the resulting type theory. The derivatives aren't magically evaluated before the program runs. The point is that the structure of the mathematics can...
At the peak of my burnout in 2023, I wrote a note this note on my phone: āI want to wake up before the alarm rings. I want to wake up motivated and eager to work. I want to follow my morning routine: workout, writing, silence, and reading.ā At the time, finding a way out felt impossible. It felt there was no light...

Open models have been my daily driver for months. That has meant accepting a gap in the capabilities I had compared to proprietary...
Iāve been doing the Weekly Challenges. The latest involved string rearrangements and rational numbers. (Note that this ends today.)
Duncan Rawlinson photographed this aerial view of a small island in the 1000 Islands region of Ontario, Canada. White snow covers most of the island, contrasting with exposed rock and vegetation at the edges, while dark water surrounds the landmass. Flocks of waterfowl gather in the shallows and open water around...
