This is true education, relevant to the world we are now entering into.

IN 1999 MIT FILMED A MATH LECTURE THAT QUIETLY BECAME THE FOUNDATION OF EVERY AI MODEL YOU'VE EVER USED AND ALMOST NO ONE WAS TAUGHT TO SEE IT THAT WAY

39 minutes from Gilbert Strang, who taught this at MIT for over 60 years -- the linear algebra course an entire generation of engineers and data scientists grew up on.

-> The shift it creates: you stop seeing matrices as boring grids of numbers and start seeing them as the language of space, data, and motion itself.

School drilled you to crunch matrices by hand and never told you why. Strang shows you what they actually mean.

Every neural net, every embedding, every model you prompt is linear algebra running underneath. The math you skipped is the engine of the thing you use all day.

Memorizing the steps was never the skill -> seeing what the numbers do is. This is where it finally clicks.

Most people fear linear algebra and move on. The ones who watched this see straight into how AI actually works.

@darwintojesus Are stupid? Wrong? What do you mean.

[Gabriel Lagrangian @Jabert00]

@darwintojesus Yes my guy, look it up. Most christians view god as a deeply personal being that has opinions, has emotions, changes his mind. Not the the philosophical theological version you are attracted to.

[Gabriel Lagrangian @Jabert00]

@darwintojesus This where I can tell you are an atheist with a recent convert to Christianity.

[Gabriel Lagrangian @Jabert00]

@darwintojesus God doesn't have opinions? Who are you to say that? Does God have thoughts? Does he have freewill? Can he change his mind?

[Gabriel Lagrangian @Jabert00]

@darwintojesus I remember this from your debate with Ben Watkins. https://t.co/mVMhw3nbul

[Gabriel Lagrangian @Jabert00]

@darwintojesus Morality is an opinion in your world view as well. It just comes from a mind that is vastly superior to ours.

[Gabriel Lagrangian @Jabert00]

@darwintojesus The very question that we are asking you.

[Gabriel Lagrangian @Jabert00]

@darwintojesus @MentallyNathan But the word good, can still have meaning outside of an ultimate philosophical origin. For example, I think you're a good man, because I know you are a family man.

[Gabriel Lagrangian @Jabert00]

@darwintojesus @MentallyNathan Well the God that you ground your morality in does not press the button. He keeps people in eternal punishment. Don't you understand this contradiction?

[Gabriel Lagrangian @Jabert00]

@darwintojesus @MentallyNathan If you were watching certain humans beings being tortured forever... and you could press a button to stop their suffering, would you press it?

[Gabriel Lagrangian @Jabert00]

@ItsLulu_7 That episode broke me. I kept getting tears. Especially because everything with Ethan has just gone to darkness in the past few years. Friendships are broken in many different ways.

[Gabriel Lagrangian @Jabert00]

@darwintojesus Will you ever understand it?

[Gabriel Lagrangian @Jabert00]

Love this.

Not that anybody asked, but in the time that has elapsed since the @NYKnicks last won a championship, we’ve discovered eight new Subatomic Particles. J-Psi Meson / Tau Lepton / Bottom Quark / Gluon / W-Z Boson / Top Quark / Tau Neutrino / Higgs Boson

@astro_jaz That's so cool!

@darwintojesus Humans can reproduce physical structure that nature makes. I think your definition of designed is something uniquely made by humans.

[Gabriel Lagrangian @Jabert00]

@darwintojesus Such a reductive statement. Ragebait...

[Gabriel Lagrangian @Jabert00]

@darwintojesus Just FYI, the biggest base of support for the nation state of Israel within the US, comes from the evangelical christians in america.

[Gabriel Lagrangian @Jabert00]

@darwintojesus I knew it was gonna be about Israel Gaza. That doesn't disqualify everything else Sam Harris has said in relation to atheism
