Same, too bad that recently (based on my hunch) these gems are getting less attention and LLM BS (or AI) is dominating the scene.

Aaah, the old benchmarks maxxing argument, having precise and clear definition of what "spatial reasoning" is, what, and most importantly WHY, the benchmarks of choice are would settle this debate, otherweise let's not delve into it.

For math majors, LADR is far better than LADW, almost most of LA books use the determinant to prove the advanced stuff (diagonlaization etc), what sets LADR apart is the intentional delay of introducing determinants in order to prove (and hence understand) what's the goal behind concepts such as diagonalization, I love this method.

> Whenever I teach people time series forecasting, I always point out that one of the biggest challenges is that you will always have values at prediction time that are out side the range of values observed during training (specifically the value of t).
I don't get this, time is usually not a covariate in ts models, so why is it a challenge?
