How does an AI tell a cat from a shark, or a healthy cell from a cancerous one?

It doesn't "think." It performs geometric origami.

Each layer in a neural network takes messy, tangled data and makes one simple fold and measurement.

Deep learning is a long, intricate series of these folds, with each layer untangling the problem a little more for the next, until the answer becomes simple.

Our new interactive Algebra lessons let you move fluidly back and forth between expressions and their visual representations – giving shape to abstract concepts.

With each equation you construct, you get instant visual feedback. See what’s missing or adjust ill-fitting pieces, until everything clicks into place.

See math in a whole new way.

Coming this October!

Been having trouble getting @cursor_ai's project rules to trigger reliably at the right times. The models just don't seem to think to read them very often – anyone have tips on getting the models to actually pull them in?

@grantbels my favorite motivator is being unmotivated long enough to get hungry and then realizing motivation was there all along ✨

@nopranablem @_StevenFan @_brentbaum @danshipper yeah y'all, holler if you find any interesting directions; right now it's a middling search engine but I think could be improved with some tweaks.

@BerkeleyAlembic Does Online only mean there’s not going to be a group doing it from the Alembic tonight?

@flowtype What's the current state of the art for Vim/Flow integration? ALE seems to be using the check-contents feature (which returns odd results) and vim-flow is on the wane. Is there a current best integration?

@duetdisplay As soon as I changed resolution of the iPad, clicks/hover events are not where the cursor is. Reboot didn't help. Any ideas?

[Ben Goldsmith @bengolds]

@TychoBrahe I see! If you guys put together an RSS feed, that'd make going through the old audio-only episodes much easier :)

[Ben Goldsmith @bengolds]

@TychoBrahe is there an RSS feed with all of the old Acq Inc episodes? I can only find stuff since 2016 in my RSS reader!

[Ben Goldsmith @bengolds]

@elm_europe Awesome! Good to see the first batch up. Are Greg, Evan, and Matthew's talks on the way as well?

[Ben Goldsmith @bengolds]

@elm_europe Any update on when the talks will be posted? Can't wait to watch a couple of them :)
