I hate this feeling

Winter is real in California? It gets quite cold (down to the low 50s or even into the 40s)

Yes! You've shown me some of her crazy big ones

I don't know; probably 5 or 6?

You should be tho

I'm down!

Rectangular matrices can't be full rank because that would imply that the left/right inverse is an inverse

Any diagonalizable matrix is now a diagonal matrix. Including all symmetric matrices. Do with that what you will.

Monday works!

I guess? "If matrix multiply commutes" is just such a totally nonsensical assumption I feel like all our linear algebra would be different

I leave the 22nd, so anytime before then

I want to! @adiastra.bsky.social you down?

Now we have virtual comment! Ken Abreu with the Sierra Club says the project is overall very good. He likes that it's tall and dense, but recommends more open space. Ultimately he says we have a housing crisis, and that we should try to get more units onsite.

A regrettable sign of the times, but it shouldn’t be misreported: they aren’t restricting most CS papers. They are restricting ONLY review/survey papers and position papers, which weren’t common in CS anyway prior to the AI onslaught. No new restrictions on CS papers consisting of original research.

If you're thinking "Wait, why does a house that's worth $3.9M only pay $1,447 per year in property taxes?"

Contrast that with a house down the street that's worth $3.4M and pays $36,591 per year!

That's California Prop 13 (1978) at work!
