3 statements about Linear Algebra, every show
Andreessen: Regulating AI is equivalent to nonsensically regulating linear algebra
“Regulating linear algebra. Like, are we really gonna regulate linear algebra, matrix multiplication, like, really, seriously? And then even if we do, are we going to possibly do it, you know, in a way that makes any sense?”
Lasenby: Geometric algebra unifies classical mechanics, linear algebra, and quantum physics
“So if you know this language, you can not only do rigid body dynamics in engineering, classical mechanics. You can do linear algebra without matrices and without tensors. And you can do complex things in quantum space-time physics with the same mathematical sy…”
Sidor: Machine learning math is easier to learn than good engineering
“Getting good basics in linear algebra and in basic statistics, that's, especially when Doing experiments, it's easy to make like elementary statistics mistakes and linear algebra is just kind of most of what you need to know to like basic optimization as well …”
