Math isn’t code. Math isn’t algorithmic. Good math uses more writing than symbols, but mathematics understanding took off when we started converging on notations. The field used to be longform written, in Latin, and it sucked a lothttps://twitter.com/citnaj/status/1233076496584953856 …

If your "simplified" code relies on knowing what an entire library does, it's not fucking simplified
I'll reiterate what's in the code example, without further context: rand, max, exp, sum, log, +, - Any educated guesses as to what those mean? :P

Sure, now how about writing “if there there exists a sublinear functional ‘sublinear_functional’ dominated everywhere by a linear functional ‘dominating_functional’ on a proper nontrivial vector subspace ‘proper-_nontrivial_vector_subspace of vector space ‘vector_space’...”

Well...to be fair...I'm already lost just reading that

You mean the meaning of these do not change depending of size/shape/type of inputs. Also, if you want to see how can the code be the ineffective medium, just scale it up. Try to write derivative of SVD compactly in code and equations. Equations will always be much more readable.
