You can choose English -> English in the UI for explanations in English.

This connects with something I've always wanted to have as a "metadata" signal provided with any text. I'm thinking of some low-key information channel like text background color t…

Thanks! I'd like to take the credit for the design, but it's just the LaTeX defaults of the IEEEtran document class.

If anyone needs a quick tutorial on linear algebra, you can check out this printabale four pager that I wrote: https://minireference.com/static/tutorials/linear_algebra_in... I als…

I've been thinking a lot about your point b) over the years. I'm conceptualizing a piece of knowledge as an interface that can be `implemented` but with different classes (explanat…

This textbook looks really good! Is this finally going to be the year when I learn thermo? All the problems come with answers provided, so I have no excuse! I found this article[1]…

A nice video explainer about this dispute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YRfSe-f1FE

Thx for the plug @Delphiza For anyone interested in checking out the book, there is a PDF preview here[1] and printable concept maps[2], which should be useful no matter which book…

Yeah the textbook cartel is outrageous. I started a textbook publishing company to fight this! I was working on web copy describing how crazy the mainstream textbook prices are, an…

The technical term for these tiny shortcuts is questionable research practices . They are difficult to study, because scientists are publicly shaming their peers when they use such…

There is a menu from the top bar to change the "Modern English."

Thanks for all the explanations. I always thought it was regular HTML, but now I know to watch out for the differences. Can you say a few more words about the library https://githu…

I've been in Grayscale for some time now (almost a month), and it's great. I always wanted to have a phone with an eInk display, and this is pretty close feeling (aesthetically). S…

Thanks Greg for posting! The website has all the notebooks from the book, as well as well as the complete tutorials on the tech stack (Python, Pandas, Seaborn). For everyone intere…

It seems `(Y @ X)[None]` produces a row vector of shape (1,3), (Y @ X)[None] # array([[14, 32, 50]]) but `(Y @ X)[None].T` works as you described: (Y @ X)[None].T # array([[14], # …

The result of `Y @ X` has shape (3,), so the next line (concatenate as columns) fails. To make `Z` a column vector, we would need something like `Z = (Y @ X)[:,np.newaxis]`. Althou…
