However, there’s a third way to think about the first moment, and it’s the one that I think is most useful for understanding moments generally: the first moment tells us how far away from the origin the center of mass is. I like this interpretation because it is analogous to a moment arm in mechanics, which is the length of an arm between an axis... See more

The risk in designing any personal knowledge system lies in the overemphasise of the acquisition system to the detriment of the review system. Acquisition can masquerade as work, but collecting without review is pseudo-work.
moments are important theoretically because they provide an alternative way to fully and uniquely specify a probability distribution, a fact that is intuitive if you understand how moment’s quantify a distribution’s location, spread, and shape

In the work with LLMs lies a deeper question, that I have not been able to answer for myself properly so far. I can use an LLM to extract information, summarise, distill, but it feels like I am fooling myself. The work that I have done is not done by me. I am have not made any connections in my brain. It feels like we should not use them for

Linear algebra usually has two sides to explore: the algebraic interpretation and the geometric intuition. Usually the latter is much more useful to get a feel for things.
