> A tensor is nothing but a flat array of numbers

I'm so very, very tired of tech coopting rigorous mathematical terms.

I read it as "tensors in programming*.

This also happens to "numbers", "integers" and such, because in the computer universe don't exist out math, only a subset(?) variation(?) of it

Yes, this is what I'm complaining about.

> coopt: to appropriate as one's own; preempt.

The term existed for some time before programming if that's your source of confusion. Now it is a twisted and ambiguous version of itself.
