linear algebra rules everything around me

matmul underpins linear transformations, and in order to do matmul, it requires energy, time and love

if everything is just representable as n dimensional matrices, and linear transformations (rotations, shearing, transformations, scaling etc) are all a labor of time and energy, and matmul under pins it all, it kinda makes sense, that if you do this over and over, you get something really intelligent

I can’t get over the fact that Malcolm Gladwell misheard eigenvalue as igon value, and confidently copied that error in one of his books

Imagine how many other errors we don’t know about because they’re outside or own cone of knowledge

linear algebra is much easier if you view matrices as transformations
