Hi everyone. My name is Adi, and I'm a co-instructor for Stanford's CS43, Functional Programming Paradigms. We are designing our curriculum for the Winter 2020 quarter, so I would …

Heavily inspired by SICP, I am co-teaching CS43 during Stanford Winter quarter. Code: https://github.com/stanfordhaskell/cs43 Site: https://stanford-lambda.gitlab.io All of the cou…

Thanks! We're currently discussing this with Horace.

Yup, this echoes the philosophy at e.g. Tesla. Development speed matters more than performance at first.

We really enjoyed editing this piece. Just wanted to doubly highlight a few of Horace's (chillee on HN) resources linked at the bottom: Code: https://github.com/Chillee/pytorch-vs-…

That makes sense. I'd hope that Scholar would be different, though. A piece on how a researcher spent a summer filling out CAPTCHAs / scraping: https://www.nature.com/articles/d415…

Glad to see this important piece here (disclosure: I am one of the editors of The Gradient). https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/5089308 , from RCIS 2009 (Beel and Gipp) noted tha…

I wrote an article documenting my experience solving Project Euler problem 543. It's a surprisingly deep problem, and using a specialized algorithm sped up my solution by two order…

One way to think about this is the "barbell strategy" due to Nassim Taleb. Make emails incisive and direct; decks should be contextual and comprehensive.

Thanks for sharing! Despite the fact that Shannon's "A Mathematical Theory of Communication" is so accessible, I find that most in our field (stats/ML) don't often think through in…

Very cool! Reminds me of https://tldrlegal.com/ and https://fossa.com/ .

This was really fun! Here are some thoughts: Most researchers / students I know who are "power-users" of TeX have fairly idiosyncratic editing habits, so it would be nice to suppor…
