Galaxy in the Virgo cluster Updated +Created
Some major ones:noirlab.edu/public/images/noao-m49/?nocache=true also lists: M58, M59, M60, M61, M84, M85, M86, M87, M88, M89, M90, M91, M98, M99, and M100 so lots of large and easily observable galaxies in the area.
Associative array Updated +Created
More commonly known as a map or dictionary.

This is hot shit, a possible worst case but sure to get there scenario to understand the brain!

Germline Updated +Created
It is quite mind blowing when you think about it, that the huge majority of your body's cells is essentially just there to support a tiny ammount of germline, which are the only cells that can actually pass on! It is fun to imagine the cell type tree for this, with a huge branching of somatic cells, and only a few germline going forward.

The orthogonal group is the group of all matrices that preserve the dot product Updated +Created
When viewed as matrices, it is the group of all matrices that preserve the dot product, i.e.:
This implies that it also preserves important geometric notions such as norm (intuitively: distance between two points) and angles.
This is perhaps the best "default definition".
Astronomy Updated +Created
Ciro Santilli likes to learn astronomy a bit like he learns geography: go down some lists of "stuff that seems most relevant in some criteria to us!", possibly at different size scales e.g.:
Deep learning framework Updated +Created
Post-order depth-first search Updated +Created
Has the property of visiting all descendants before the parent.
Pre-order depth-first search Updated +Created
This is the order in which you would want to transverse to read the chapters of a book.
Like breadth-first search, this also has the property of visiting parents before any children.
Note that:
and for that to be true for all possible and then we must have:
i.e. the matrix inverse is equal to the transpose.
Conversely, if:
is true, then
These matricese are called the orthogonal matrices.
TODO is there any more intuitive way to think about this?

What is backpropagation really doing? by 3Blue1Brown (2017)
Source. Good hand-wave intuition, but does not describe the exact algorithm.
