One of my favorite things about having studied linear algebra is that you can say things like "I can prove to you that the nullspace of a homomorphism between vectorspaces is a subspace of the domain" and people will think it sounds cool even though it's only actually cool if you're a massive nerd and then it's actually not cool anymore.

It genuinely should be pretty easy to make gender into a vector space, and to define gender matrices.

You could get arbitrarily complicated with it. the most basic start would be a 2d vectorspace. I've used color gradients to explain the concept of nonbinary genders to cishet people before, so you'd have a 'masculine-feminine' axis and a 'much gender-no gender' axis.

That one is obviously incredibly reductive and can be extended into many more dimensions.

As a genderfluid person, I've actually thought about setting something like this up in a tracker, to try and find patterns or functions to predict my gender. Is there a reliable transformation function from day to day? Are there clusters, and what connects the data points that belong to the same one?

I don't know, because I'm too lazy to actually implement any of this.

Any chance of tricking you into describing what a gender matrix might be?

I'm not even sure what that is. Can you describe it to me? or... point to where I could get a start? did I reference this?

Önde gelen çip üreticisi Nvidia, Perşembe günü paylarının %26 yükseldiğini gördü. Piyasa bedeli de 1 trilyon dolara yaklaşan şirketin birinci çeyrek raporunda yapay zekaya yönelik talebi vurgulaması, yapay zeka coin piyasasında çift haneli ralliyi tetikledi.Nvidia, Apple ve Microsoft’un yer aldığı trilyon dolarlık piyasa bedeli kulübüne yaklaşıyorNvidia şu anda 1 trilyon dolar bedelinde olan beşinci halka açık ABD şirketi pozisyonunda. Şirketin pay senedi fiyatları Perşembe günü %26 artış kaydetti. Böylelikle, bir ABD pay senedinin bir günlük en büyük bedel kazanımlarından birini gerçekleştirdi.Gelişmenin kripto para piyasasını ilgilendiren istikameti, Nvidia’nın birinci çeyrek raporunda yapay zekaya yönelik talebi vurgulamasıydı. Nvidia, Çarşamba günü geç saatlerde 2024 mali yılının ikinci çeyreği için 11 milyar dolarlık satış iddiası yaptı. Bu talebin büyük oranda ‘yapay zeka’ uygulamalarına güç sağlayan grafik işlemcileri üzerine olacağını bildirdi.Nvidia, Google, Microsoft ve ChatGPT üreticisi OpenAI’dekiler üzere yapay zeka uygulamalarının talebi körükleyeceğini raporluyor. Uzmanlarda bu artışın öteki AI firmalarının pay fiyatlarının yükselmesine yardımcı olabileceğini düşünüyor.Bu büyük artışın global mali krizin ortasında geldiğini belirtelim. Fakat, Nvidia CEO’su Jensen Huang, dev bir rekor yılı olmasını beklediğini tabir ediyor. Datalar, firmanın Temmuz ayında sona eren üç ay için 11 milyar dolarlık satış kestirim ettiğini gösteriyor. Öte yandan, çeyrek raporunda yapay zekaya yönelik artan talebi raporlaması, yapay zeka coin piyasasında çift haneli ralliyi tetikliyor.Nvidia raporu, yapay zeka coin piyasasını harekete geçirdiRaporlara nazaran, Nvidia’nın ürettiği grafik işlemcilere (GPU’lar) olan talep arttıkça satışlar da artıyor. Bu işlemciler, yapay zeka uygulamalarını güçlendirmek için Google, Microsoft ve OpenAI tarafından yüksek oranda kullanılmaktadır.Bununla birlikte, artan yapay zeka kullanımının bu alanda faaliyet gösteren Blockchain projelerine yeni yatırımcılar çektiği gözlemlendi. Nvidia’in mali raporu esnasında, yapay zeka coin piyasasında en çok kazanan, %20 yükselişle SingularityNET (AGIX) oldu.Ayrıca Cortex (CTXC), yaklaşık %6 ve Measurable Veri Token (MDT) %6,5 bedel kazandı. Bu ortada, ralli yapay zeka coin piyasasının tümü için geçerliydi.

the thing about being infinite is that no one tells you about:      – the lonely nights      – the aching hearts      – the whispered wishes to stars above      – begging them to take you back

you’re human, they whisper, you stay

and you try to fit into this life that wasn’t made for you and some days are better than others but the stars they always call you home

infinite is just a promise || s.c. ↳ @inkstay dare to write challenge | 500 prompts | immortality

ooh a name playlist for caroline please?

in the spirit of a playlist I tried to capture a sort of general mood, using the first song as a jumping off point. I would describe it as “looking out at a rose garden from under quick shelter in a rainstorm and watching the rain turn the earth and soak the roses in a melancholy but pretty way”

i’ve been doing a lot of original writing (mostly poetry but a couple short stories as well) and i’m hoping to compile a chapbook with some original photography in it as well. i look back on what i’ve written even a year ago and cannot believe that i’ve become more coherent and artistic poet since then, and hope that in 2019 i’ll look back at this year’s work and feel that i’ve grown once more

So proud of you!! These creative endeavors are amazing. Can’t wait to see you looking back this time next year and seeing how much growth you achieved in 2019!

Today was the day I learned that Calculus was the mathematics of change, of calculating the different problems that continually evolve and all I could think about was you, you, you, and how you continued to evolve, leaving me a constant in the equation we were both a part of.

10, 15, 25:)

thank yoouuuuu

10. how was your love life this year?

non existing lol. that’s something I need to work on, decreasing my fear of (any hint to) romantic/sexual intimacy, but I wouldn’t even know how to start doing that

15. did you make any new friends?

I very much did!! two of my current best friends are people that I knew before 2018 but that I’ve grown so immensly close to this year. also I went to India and met so many sweet ppl there, so yes, I did make new friends and I’m so grateful for all of them

25. what’s one thing that you hope will continue next year?

I answered this ask here already but a second one would be being organised in achieving goals and actually do things to reach them

[ask me end of the year asks]

23. Do you prefer borrowing books from friends, borrowing books from a library, or buying them?answered here

27. What books can always make you cry?a child called it by dave pelzer makes me cry just thinking about it... i won’t go into details but it’s an autobiography and basically a memoir of childhood abuse. it’s inconceivably disturbing, painfully shocking and most of all utterly heartbreaking...a book that’s not as traumatizing that makes me cry every time i pick it up is aristotle and dante discover the secrets of the universe!
