Before I get into it, I must come clean: I am not a big fan of present-day animation. Sure, I can get down with some anime classics and will always give experimental stuff like Love, Death + Robots a shot. But there's this unfortunate trend of cookie-cutter projects getting the green light with the goal of replicating the success of animated hits like Rick and Morty instead of giving risky, original, cutting-edge programs a chance to find an audience.

I need to admit something right off the bat: I am not a huge animation fan. Mind you, I can watch any number of animated programs. But I've come to understand that I resist embracing new projects within the genre. Maybe it's because of the cookie-cutter nature of some of these titles, which tend to mimic hits like Rick and Morty instead of carving out a new space in the medium to thrive. I say all this because I didn't pay attention when Adult Swim released Common Side Effects on Max this year.

This is a post about multiplying polynomials, convolution sums and the connection between them. Multiplying polynomials Suppose we want to multiply one polynomial by another: \[(3x^3+x^2+2x+1)\cdot(2x^2+6)\] This is basic middle-school math - we start by cross-multiplying: \[6x^5+2x^4+4x^3+2x^2+18x^3+6x^2+12x+6\] And then collect all the terms together by adding up the coefficients: \[6x^5+2x^4+22x^3+8x^2+12x+6\] Let's look at a slightly different way to achieve the same result.

Training is just the start of a model’s life cycle. As models have become bigger, they have become more expensive to run. So-called reasoning models that work through a query step by step before producing a response are especially power-hungry because they compute a series of intermediate subresponses for each response. The price tag of these new capabilities is eye-watering: OpenAI’s o3 reasoning model has been estimated to cost up to $30,000 per task to run. But this technology is only a few
