wanted to say this.

Also conceptually it feels just right to use nilpotents to probe the smooth structure. In a way nilpotents are violently smaller than even non standard analysis infinitesimals, as the laters’ powers are incredibly small but never vanishing.

Another way to see this is that it makes Taylor expansion exact by killing terms above a bound so it works naturally with the ecosystem surrounding it

Finally duals are very similar to complex in a way. i can be defined as root of X^2 + 1 = 0 even if it felt impossible initially, the dual number as a non nul solution of X^2 = 0 even if it is as counterintuitive.

For a second pass to linear algebra, “Linear Algebra via Exterior Products” from Winitzki is great

Last time I went there I saw a founder that couldn’t do an interview without changing zyn pouches every literal five (5) minutes

You lost me at “except billionaires”. I don’t see how Jeff Bezos benefits from this one much more than let’s say Terence Tao.

Same, I really want to like Zed but LazyVim covers my every need

Conductor is really nice! A feature I would really like would be to be able to automatically configure “direnv allow” in the different shells as I use nix & direnv all the time

I had this opinion until I actually had a new model and felt the weight difference.

What do you mean exactly by “Epstein People”? I thoroughly hope it’s not the 4chan definition of it
