TensorFlow quantum by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
Version of TensorFlow with a Cirq backend that can run in either quantum computers or classical computer simulations, with the goal of potentially speeding up deep learning applications on a quantum computer some day.
College puffer jacket by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
E.g.: thecollegestore.co.uk/products/ladies-oxford-college-puffer-jacket?variant=40590030864549 Black with 5 rows, on left chest "colege name", logo, "Oxford", and right chest optional initials (or sometimes other identifiers/nicknames) to help distinguish from all the other people's identical clothes.
This has a whitelabel version: www.workweargiant.co.uk/product/result-urban-holkham-down-feel-jacket/, the name appears to be "Holkham Down Feel Jacket".
Circa 2020, these are likely given out by each college for free, and are widely used.
If you look 20 and wear one of those, it's almost an ID, you can get anywhere that does not require a key card, porters won't look at you twice!
Ubuntu feature request by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
Sometimes it just feels like Ubuntu devs don't actually use Ubuntu as a desktop.
Some extremely annoying problems are introduced and just never get fixed, even though they feel so obvious!
Would never happen on Mac...
Xah Lee by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
fuseki.net/home/List-of-Patreon-Subs-with-Justification.html describes him well:
Outsider, formerly homeless, extreme person interested in CS and culture. Self-publishes a website with thousands of tutorial / opinion pages. Possibly similar to Sam Sloan - extremely productive, wide interests, obsessive, and pretty disagreeable.
Homepage xahlee.org/ says:
Siphon my knowledge into your brain. Assimilate my sensibilities to your spine.
Nice Second brain vibe.

Let's see:
One major difference between the elliptic curve over a finite field or the elliptic curve over the rational numbers the elliptic curve over the real numbers is that not every possible generates a member of the curve.
This is because on the Equation "Definition of the elliptic curves" we see that given an , we calculate , which always produces an element .
But then we are not necessarily able to find an for the , because not all fields are not quadratically closed fields.
For example: with and , taking gives:
and therefore there is no that satisfies the equation. So is not on the curve if we consider this elliptic curve over the rational numbers.
That would also not belong to Elliptic curve over the finite field , because doing everything we have:
Therefore, there is no element such that or , i.e. and don't have a multiplicative inverse.
For the real numbers, it would work however, because the real numbers are a quadratically closed field, and .
For this reason, it is not necessarily trivial to determine the number of elements of an elliptic curve.
