#n-dimensional
i put a lot of thought behind my characters and I realized a lot of mom characters are written so 1 dimensional. either caring in a cartoonish manner or evil. i want ruby to be real n nuanced. she's not perfect and has hurt her child, struggles with her mental health and has bad habits.

But it isn’t in an n dimensional field. You’re just changing dimensions randomly a point one dimension.

What you’re describing is unambiguously a discontinuity.

A line from (0,0) to (5,0) and then from (5,0) to (5,6) is discontinuous by definition.

No, that is not a discontinuity. A continuum can be an n-dimensional field, not just a single line.

It’s not debatable; you’re just wrong here, and I don’t understand why.

It isn't possible to learn without incorporating some of yourself into it, because of how our memory system works. Conversely, a machine creates statistical weights correlating training params in a n-dimensional space. There is nothing there but the data and how closely it resembles input noise.

high-dimensional geometry in general doesn't make any sense

for instance: as the number n of dimensions increases, the volume of an n-dimensional ball concentrates into a thin outer shell close to the boundary; the interior shrinks away
i am convinced high dimensional optimization lives beyond the threshold of complexity where intuition works and/or refrains from leading people badly astray

Look, a couple defectors flip the House. I get it. But I don't understand pissing off your own base to say this. And just as a continuing conversation - a tent can be large, but it has posts and walls - boundaires. It's not an n-th dimensional hyperspace. What do Dems BELIEVE IN?
Raskin: We are a big tent. We must be a huge, vast tent. I say this is a party that’s got room for Marjorie Taylor Greene if she wants to come over.

It's substituted by correlations in vast n-dimensional spaces. Inputs and outputs are clear, but what's in between is no longer a theory, a form of understanding, but simply constant capital, giant matrices getting multiplied in the vast VRAM world of GPUs. As we write in Why We Fear AI:

I’m on team “lots of damaging material” but nothing viable in terms of chargeable federal crimes. Based on what Trump himself has said, bad for a lot of other powerful people. If we want to get n-dimensional, perhaps some of *them* have other damaging material on Trump.
as someone who really thought there wasn’t much there for the longest time I cannot draw any conclusion other than “they are monumentally terrible” at this point
man, what the fuck is in these files that would a) be worse than anything we have ever learned about him, b) make him willing to risk a maga civil war over it, and c) have him desperately calling half of the republicans in the house and begging them to vote against their release

Top five algorithms:

Mp3 encoding
FFT
Freaking N-dimensional convolution, truly based stuff
Runge-kutta 4th
Z-transform

Not sure i'd call any of them beautiful but there's some clever stuff going on
I'm right on board with this. There's tons of beautiful stuff to be done with algorithms that have nothing to do with LLM slop.
One of the things most quietly grieved amongst practitioners is the half-century of history and work in learning systems and technologies which have historically been categorized as “AI”, and they’ve all been run over by LLMs, and by the hype cycles the industry has *built* around LLMs. A huge loss.

GPU datacenters are mostly useful for the one thing, that's not actually untrue? No I don't think most things that need a lotta matrix multiplication have GPU-centric workloads. Most of those things mentioned are 2 or 3 dimensional not n dimensional. Certainly autocad is mostly fpu-based

Seeing a lot of ex post facto analysis of this week's events. I think some verges on wish-casting and assumes grand schemes and N dimensional chess being played. It's more likely lizard brained self preservation is at play.

Yes, there is a cover up, it's bad, & lots of people will deny involvement.

A molecularly impermeable polymer from two-dimensional polyaramids
Materials TMC, melamine and N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) were open and stored in a N2-environment glovebox. All other reagents, including acetone, isopropyl alcohol (IPA), TFA, deuterated TFA, polystyrene (280 kDa), anisole, chloroform, hexane, dimethyl formamide and DMSO were obtained from commercial vendors and used as received. CD-flat holey carbon (8/2-hole pattern) grids used for TEM were purchased from Electron Microscopy Sciences. Synthesis of 2DPA-1 powder For a typical 2DPA-1 powder with a high r value, we first mix 1 mmol of TMC with 1 mmol of melamine in a 40-ml glass vial. Using a magnetic stir bar, stir the contents in a N2-environment glovebox with 18 ml of NMP followed by 2 ml of pyridine.

Overall, we find that expertise reorganizes the brain at three levels:

1️⃣ WHAT is represented → relational structure > appearance
2️⃣ HOW it is represented → compact, low-dimensional manifolds aligned with task structure
3️⃣ WHERE it is represented → from domain-specific to domain-general networks

2️⃣ HOW are representations structured?

Using manifold dimensionality (Participation Ratio), we find lower-dimensional, more compressed neural codes in experts. And these compressed manifolds carry more task-relevant information.

👉 Experts pack more information into fewer dimensions.

But maybe this is n-dimensional chess. Force votes on Epstein files & healthcare subsidies - and if they fail, pin that solely on the GOP (& quiet the voices crying, "a pox on both their houses"). Feds back to work + back pay...much more in the small print. Interesting gambit.

Okay well first of all you have to imagine a 𝑛th dimensional non-euclidian space, bisecting a separate but 𝑛+1 bubble universe containing The Daily Mail. Have you done that? Okay good, now 1/522
Could someone explain to me what is meant when a British person refers to "the middle class" ? Like, in the US, as I hear it, it basically just means a person who makes a certain amount of money, not too far below and not wildly above the median. Seems like a complex concept when UK writers use it?

Biologically, sex is nothing but sex characteristics. Sex characteristics exist as an n-dimensional continuum.

Ergo, sex, biologically, is a continuum.

Random Debian Astro package of the week is python3-numpy. NumPy contains a powerful N-dimensional array object, sophisticated (broadcasting) functions, tools for integrating C/C++ and Fortran code, and useful linear algebra, Fourier transform, and random number capabilities.

Ok, let's imagine it works this way.

How do you address a 'bug' in an LLM? It is, at heart, a gigantic n-dimensional set of probabilistic values. GPT4 is estimated to have about 1-2 trillion.

How do 'debug' that massive set of numbers?
