If I have time at some point, I might make it into a tutorial.
Enjoy!

"Christopher Bishop’s 2006 book “Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning,” arguably one of the triggers of the current popularity of machine learning, is quite literally a book about applied mathematics, diving into probabilities, linear algebra, neural networks, Markov models, and combinatorics. And rightfully so; if your objective is to find a job as an engineer at OpenAI, knowing a thing or two about eigenvalues and eigenvectors is definitely going to be useful."

In Praise Of Mathematics
How much math knowledge does a programmer need to know to fulfill their job? How deep should the mathematical knowledge of full-stack engineers, computer security experts, or large language model engineers be? The spectrum of possible answers to these questions is too large to be useful. Perhaps the eternal answer "it depends" is enough?

Today I tried to get our new Hetzner mailbox to work with gitlab issues, but failed. I blame Hetzner, because a) they don't seem to support subaddressing (foo 123@example.com) and b) they don't set the proper mail header (Envelope-To and Delivered-To) when doing a mail forward.
