Breaking Bad Updated 2025-07-16
There is a lot of "who kills who" useless fluff, and everything to do with the wife is boring, but too much gold otherwise.
It is amazing to see how seasons got better and better until the finale. The last season was amazing, Ciro Santilli actually watched all episodes of that one! This is clearly seen on the evolution of metacritic scores.
Rho Updated 2025-07-16
This one is a little confusing: the upper case looks exactly like a letter P, but as the name suggests, it actually corresponds to the letter R. The letter P corresponds to pi instead.
General linear group Updated 2025-07-16
Invertible matrices. Or if you think a bit more generally, an invertible linear map.
When the field is not given, it defaults to the real numbers.
Non-invertible are excluded "because" otherwise it would not form a group (every element must have an inverse). This is therefore the largest possible group under matrix multiplication, other matrix multiplication groups being subgroups of it.

Analects translation by Robert Eno (2015) 16.7:
The Junzi has three cautions.

Made by a single dude. As SsethTzeentach puts it, this is the greatest autism project ever made.
Limited series Updated 2025-07-16
If you are going to make a television series, do make it a limited one. Plan one story, and execute it amazingly. Don't let things drag on and on.
For the typical case of a linear form over , the form can be seen just as a row vector with n elements, the full form being specified by the value of each of the basis vectors.
Punycode inscription Updated 2025-07-16
Namecoin examples are catalogued at: punycodes.xyz. The are small Unicode art or emoji code.
There seems to be nothing of particular artistic value as far as we've seen so far, the only interest in such tokens seems to be that:

The Fall of The Simpsons: How it Happened by Super Eyepatch Wolf (2017)
Source. This interesting video essay makes the main point that the Simpsons used to be good because they mocked mainstream. But then they became mainstream, which basically defeated their purpose. Think different from Apple comes to mind.
Bridge amplification Updated 2025-07-16
This is one of the the key innovations of the Illumina (originally Solexa) sequencing.
This step is genius because sequencing is basically a signal-to-noise problem, as you are trying to observe individual tiny nucleotides mixed with billions of other tiny nucleotides.
With bridge amplification, we group some of the nucleotides together, and multiply the signal millions of times for that part of the DNA.
