> In this paper, we introduce NEURALATEX, which we believe to be the first deep learning library written entirely in LATEX. Right, that's enough computers everyone. Back to books.

Look I hope one day to go back to school and get my degree in Computational Heresy.

Searched for tom murphy and was not disappointed.

His Youtube videos are gold. This one, in which he aims to take the imprecision of floating point numbers to extreme applications, such as training neural networks with linear activation functions or even implementing cryptologically-safe functions, is superb.

I got distracted following the references to RFCs and noticed a nice number:

  2*7*24*60 = 047300 # two weeks, in minutes
This is not a coincidence. Ignoring the trailing zeros, we have:

  5*7*011 = 5*077 = 5*0100 - 5 = 0473

This was harder to find than I would've thought, so for anyone else curious:
