    UMich has a couple other linear algebra courses that might be better for that: MATH 214, MATH 217 are the numbers if I remember correctly. 217 is known for having a high workload a…

    I took this course 3 years ago. I found it fast-moving, and it focused a lot more on applications than fundamentals, which meant it was more wide than it was deep. This didn't turn…

    Show HN: Sveddy – Collaborative Filtering for PostgreSQL

    After finishing an intro to ML course, I felt inspired to implement a collaborative filtering algorithm right where it'd be most useful - in the database itself. As of now Sveddy i…

    There are some really good piano samples available for free--why put in the work for the physical modeling approach?

    Do you have any further information or a source for this? As someone unfamiliar with ML, this sounds crazy to me.

    Do you have a more sustainable way to produce meat in mind? Ethics aside, the addition of another trophic level makes meat production necessarily less efficient than that of an equ…

    Ask HN: Internships working on C or C++ FOSS software?

    I'm a second year college student and admittedly I've started applying to internships pretty late. In my past experience, professional or otherwise, I've done mostly web dev and wa…

    For anyone interested in trying it know there is one major downside: most Linux binaries won't run on it because dynamically linked libraries work strangely on NixOS

    If you then distribute that modified software, users don't have the freedom to modify it in turn since your source code would be unavailable.

    They absolutely should get that control though. The only thing preventing them from having it, often, are artificial limitations. Don't place too much faith in "the market" to fix …

    Almost nobody is doing this, and almost nobody ever will because it breaks accessibility and a whole host of other features. I would save the alarmism for another day.

    There are disputes about the accuracy of telomere length as a marker of aging, but it's great to see this kind of research advance.
