Thank you for sharing. One thing I found confusing was the introduction of l_{i}'(x). I kept thinking this was short for \frac{d}{dx} l_{i}(x), but it's not the derivative!

I wonder how much of the price action is due to debt funded purchases through MSTR and other leveraged ETFs (e.g. BITU, BITX)?

Either I haven’t seen this before, or forgot it, but it’s surprising because I use the sum of independent uniform variables every once in a while — the sum of two vars is a tent function, the sum of three is a smooth piecewise quadratic lump, and the sum of many tends toward a normal distribution. And the distribution is easy calculated as the convolution of the input box functions (uniform variables). Looking it up just now I learned the sum of uniform variables is called an Irwin-Hall distribution (aka uniform sum distribution).
The min of two random vars has the opposite effect as the max does in this video. And now I’m curious - if we use the function definition of min/max — the nth root of the sum of the nth powers of the arguments — there is a continuum from min to sum to max, right? Are there useful applications of this generalized distribution? Does it already have a name?
Perhaps you are thinking of Order Statistics? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_statistic
I've always thought the use of "Tensor" in the "TensorFlow" library is a misnomer. I'm not too familiar with ML/theory, is there a deeper geometric meaning to the multi-dimensional array of numbers we are multiplying or is "MatrixFlow" a more appropriate name?

What else would you like to see? I have some other time related tools that I will be launching but would love to hear what you have in mind.
I was thinking it would be cool to add another slider for day of the year. That way you can see how the differences change as local timezones roll through their own daylight savings time or other adjustments. For example, right now Asuncion Paraguay is +3 hours ahead of Chicago U.S. but in April it will be only one hour ahead.
There is simply no viable alternative to globalization, interdependence and the international rules-based order
Sounds like the check cleared!
Really, though, it's just one paragraph after another of pablum. Does it amount to, "All our Uranium reserves belong to WEF!" Anyone know the real story? With this much avoiding-the-topic, there just has to be something nefarious going on.
I believe they want to signal to the rest of the world that they are still a stable alternative for western nuclear fuel buyers. Uranium is the spice, and the spice must flow. Of course they also export coal, gas and oil too.
I think the chips were built with zero-spin silicon (ZS-Si) from Silex (SLX/SILXY): https://www.silex.com.au/silex-technology/silex-zs-si-produc...

After a few missteps where I transcribed the vars wrong (laugh) I wrote out the calcs and was able to reach the correct result. Here's my step-by-step process, hope this helps!

Looking at your comment the disconnect seems to be at the division step: when performing a division such as 226/9, look up or calculate the multiplicative inverse for 9 (you can use the table at https://curves.ulfheim.net/inverse61.html), which is 34, and multiply by that instead. This is explained at https://curves.ulfheim.net/#division-multiplicative-inverse
In F61, 226/9 = 226*34 = 7684 % 61 = 59.
In F61, 2888/27 = 2888*52 = 150176 % 61 = 55.
(you can also proactively reduce those numerators and calculate with some smaller numbers):
(226%61)/9 => 43/9
(2888%61)/27 => 21/27
Thanks for explaining and creating the gist! Makes sense now that everything (* / + -) needs to be done modulo 61.

You haven't gone wrong, those are equal in F_61.
226 / 9
= (226*34) / (9*34)
= 7684 / 306
= 7684 / 1 (since 306 = 1 mod 61)
= 59 / 1 (since 7684 = 59 mod 61)
That was definitely a typo. Thanks for your response!
