Reflecting to optimise

https://magnusross.github.io/simplex-2d-3d.png
If you want to find the best fold, you need to use a different function. this is because the gradient is actually based on the same function in probability space as the parameter vector you are calculating from logit space. the form of the dual space depends on norm of your vector space, so it’s not easy to say which method works best for your specific problem. in this article, i’m going to ...

Engineering for Bounded Cognition

https://shapeofthesystem.com/assets/og.png
The human mind can only hold about four things at once, and even that is a narrow beam of attention that misses much of what is happening around it. This limited capacity is the root of many software problems, but it can also be the key to good engineering, which is about shaping systems to work with the way minds actually work.
