I wrote this fun interactive article explaining Isomap, a... classic non-linear dimensionality reduction technique. Isomap captures the local similarity structure of data through a graph and computes an embedding that preserves this structure. Check it out! Link below.show more

Oldies but goldies: M. Belkin, P. Niyogi, Laplacian Eigenmaps... for Dimensionality Reduction and Data Representation, 2003. Non-linear dimensionality reduction by embedding data points using the eigenvectors of a graph Laplacian as coordinates.show more

Laplacian eigenmaps perform non-linear dimensionality reduction ("manifold learning") by... embedding data points using the eigenvectors of a graph Laplacian as coordinates.show more

Many dimensionality reduction algorithms share a few central principles.... 1. Construct a graph that captures the data's local structure 2. Measure "geodesic" distances between points using the graph 3. Project the points to a lower dimension while preserving these distancesshow more

1 of N reasons why sharding is a great... way to scale a database? Backup speed. This is one of the fun little animations I worked on in my recent interactive sharding article. In case you missed it, link below.show more

The one thing we absolutely know with certainty about... the Richat Structure is that there was an incredible amount of human activity here from the dawn of toolmaking and tool use itself. The Acheulean Hand Axe is the second tool that humans ever made and this technology spread throughout Africa, Europe and Asia while no definitive evidence exists that this technology ever made it to the Americas. I think this is evidence that this technology was shared and disseminated intentionally, that neighboring humans didn’t come up with this independently on their own but this was a legacy, an institution, a skill and an industry that was shared and taught. It is perhaps the earliest evidence we have of widespread cultural diffusion throughout Africa, Europe and Asia. And yes, it’s right there at the Richat Structure which leads me to question the role that the Richat played to humans half a million years ago. It seems like that’s where we have to start with the Richat.show more

Turn a simple idea into a storyboard, then generate... the video with Seedance 2.0. This ComfyUI workflow uses LLMs to structure prompts into storyboard-ready scenes that define how the video should play out. The storyboard can be paired with reference images and sent directly into Seedance for video generation. To try this workflow, link below 👇show more

We had this long-standing papercut at Linear where the... menu items overflow their outer container. It was hard to fix, or so I thought, because the structure is pretty complicated given all the design details, so a simple overflow: hidden wouldn’t work as it would break the animation. But today I had an epiphany that we could just use a simple CSS mask and fade the items out. Here’s a before & after with a zoom on the problem, look at the left edge:show more

I vibe coded a visual PDF search app with... ColQwen2. This is how it works: - Store PDF files as images in a Weaviate AI Database vector database - Embed images and text with a multimodal late-interaction model (ColQwen2) - Generate token-wise (and summed) similarity maps to highlight image patches with high similarity Now I need to refactor the messy vibe-coded project. In the meantime, you can check out the Notebook this demo is based on to try it out yourself:show more

Tradermayne uncovers that plasma:native is printing one of the... most reliable setups. "I think it goes to 12 cents in the next two weeks, but I don't have a position, so I don't really care. I like this three-day chart setup. This is a really, really strong setup. This is a quarterly low that got swept, and then it broke structure the other side." Feat. Mayne Ponzi Trader Kraken Proshow more
