There is this math symbol that looks like an E, i never knew what it meant, till i watched an MIT opencourse ware video, where the prof, read it like a sentence, and i went “hol up, that’s what it meansl
mathematical symbols are just "over-compressed, non-runnable" spaghetti code. the biggest failure of education is teaching these esoterics without explaining that an integral is basically just a for loop with an accumulator. when optimizing diffusion in sglang, my favorite part is taking those "spoopy" paper formulas and pruning them into 5 lines of high-perf Triton kernels. code isn't a translation of discrete math; code is how math was meant to be read.
