What would it take to turn the entire cosmos into software-down to the rules that generate space and time? For decades, the simulation hypothesis has resided comfortably in the gap between philosophy ...
Over the last few issues, we've been talking about the math entity called a matrix. I've given examples of how matrices are useful and how matrix algebra can simplify complicated problems. A messy ...
Matrix multiplication is at the heart of many machine learning breakthroughs, and it just got faster—twice. Last week, DeepMind announced it discovered a more efficient way to perform matrix ...
