gexaha··on Positive Geometries and Amplitudes [pdf]
Has there been any progress in the last 10 years since the discovery of amplituhedron?
gexaha··on Probabilistic Machine Learning: Advanced Topics
I think "Understanding Deep Learning" is very nice - https://udlbook.github.io/udlbook/ (an covers almost all topics, it has maybe just a couple of omissions, such as Multimodal Learning, NERFs and Time Series Prediction)
gexaha··on MuseScore 4.1 is now available
wow! who's your dad?
gexaha··on If PEP 703 is accepted, Meta can commit three engineer-years to no-GIL CPython
Sorry, stupid question, can someone tell, please, how do other interpreted languages deal with problem similar to GIL or noGIL?
gexaha··on Domain-Specific Languages of Mathematics
Won't it be easier to teach/use Lean?
gexaha··on Oliver Stone Releases Trailer for His Pro-Nuclear Energy Movie
and also the same Oliver Stone that helped making conspiracy theories mainstream!
gexaha··on A growing number of scientists are convinced the future influences the past
In philosophy this idea is called "hyperstition"
gexaha··on Category Theory ∩ Machine Learning
could you advertise your research a bit less often, please? i see your post like literally almost every other day here
gexaha··on Weimar Jazz Database (WJazzD) – The Jazzomat Research Project
nice, but where's the swing in the generated midis? Would be also nice to here the midi with appropriate soundfont (not piano)
gexaha··on Keep CALM and CRDT on [pdf]
jepsen.io has a neat diagram of various consistency models - http://jepsen.io/consistency

also, you can find talks of Martin Kleppmann on youtube about consistency guarantees, e. g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZjhNTM8XU8

gexaha··on Ask HN: Any good black Friday deals?
I'm developing microtonal algorithmic music, leaning towards chiptune sound, and for sounds/timbres/instruments I found the Plogue synthesisers to be the best - https://www.plogue.com/index.html - they have 3 great FM-synthesizers/emulators of Yamaha chips: OPL2, OPN from megadrive, and DX7. Bought 2 of them on this black friday.
gexaha··on Philosophy of mathematics – a reading list (2020)
Some more recent books in this area:

David Corfield "Modal Homotopy Type Theory: The Prospect of a New Logic for Philosophy"

Fernando Zalamea "Synthetic Philosophy of Contemporary Mathematics" (though the book is a bit convoluted in the language it uses)

also recent translation from French:

Albert Lautman "Mathematics, Ideas and the Physical Real"

also a book that uses category theory for purposes of philosophy:

Rocco Gangle "Diagrammatic Immanence: Category Theory and Philosophy"

I also would guess, that nowadays such a book should include chapters about automatic theorem provers, but don't know them

gexaha··on Alan D. Sokal – Transgressing the Boundaries (1995)
Probably, but a very dull/non-creative point nonetheless
gexaha··on Alan D. Sokal – Transgressing the Boundaries (1995)
That's a very badly written paper, to be honest. I mean, even knowing it was a hoax, I really expected that he somehow would have some speculative/creative content on the topic of "Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity", whatever that could mean, but it's just a bunch of misplaced quotes and summaries.
gexaha··on My newsletter is making $2k per month with 7k subscribers – AMA
would be interesting to see the setup of the artist Jon Rafman, he has an old photo with his messy setup (but maybe the photo is staged): https://www.monopol-magazin.de/sites/default/files/styles/mi...
gexaha··on Analytic versus Continental Philosophy (2009)
The summary is a bit outdated (as can be seen by the year). I don't know any articles about recent intersections between analytic and continental philosophies (and the split between them seems irrelevant nowadays), but you could check various philosophers, like Robert Brandom, Quentin Meillassoux, Reza Negarestani or Ray Brassier.
gexaha··on Multicomputation as a General Paradigm for Theoretical Science
Do you know, whether anyone of the approaches (yours or one of that you mention in the links) has had any kind of practical success, or maybe has been adopted by some community? I mean, it's nice to generalize, but did it help anyone yet? like practically (e. g., did epidemiologists or biologists or math. modellers adopted any of the approaches?)
gexaha··on Music Composition with Deep Learning: A Review
James Tenney has a book on this - "history of consonance and dissonance"
gexaha··on Fundamental physics sees worlds in grains of sand and infinities in hours
Humanity’s most extraordinary achievement is that we are still alive, despite having 8 or 9 countries with nuclear weapons
gexaha··on PixelNeRF Neural Radiance Fields from One or Few Images
I've tried a similar network on "Reptiles", also adding color - here's what i got - https://imgur.com/a/8gqhmlc
gexaha··on Lambda Calculus Diagrams (2015)
is it the same Dave Keenan, who is the co-author of Sagittal microtonal notation [1]? (upd: oh, actually it's him, nice)

[1] http://sagittal.org

gexaha··on The Wolfram Physics Project
how about Conway-Kochen's Free Will Theorem? is it compatible with superdeterminism?
gexaha··on A Quantum Theory That Peels Away the Mystery of Measurement
There was a nice thread about these discoveries on physics stack exchange https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/484675/does-the-...
gexaha··on Generating More of My Favorite Aphex Twin Track
Aphex Twin actually listened to Stockhausen (and vice versa): http://www.synthtopia.com/content/2010/10/15/karlheinz-stock...

and they probably met https://www.reddit.com/r/aphextwin/comments/8vyrbf/aphex_twi...

gexaha··on Alphazero crushes Stockfish in 1,000 game match
This looks like a draw, is it not?
gexaha··on Zip Trees
Data structure from competitive programming is also known as "treap with implicit keys", related question on stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3497875/treap-with-impli...
