Turing, etc. And yes.

Hi, I'm one of the organizers. For context, IOAI is one of the world's largest scientific olympiads, where gifted high school contestants from 100+ nations solve olympiad-grade ML …

Just finished with Terry Pratchett's Night Watch. So good.

So basically you're saying, having a million dollars is better than not having a million dollars :P

At least upload a preprint to arXiv or something. What's the point of citing a paper that doesn't exist yet?

I think it's a problem of reputation, actually. Google and Apple keep stuff online because they promised they would, and there would be backlash if they turned it off all of a sudd…

Optimised code is occasionally so cryptic that you'll just waste a few hours figuring out what it does, which basically nullifies the effect of faster compile time.

No no, results stored on The Blockchain.

RESnet in 2016 achieved 97% accuracy on the ImageNet challenge with hundreds of classes. I think that's near human accuracy.

I found "An Introduction to Statistical Learning with applications in R" to be very useful.

Which college and which program, if you don't mind sharing? Edit: for the Master's degree.

I've heard of showerbeer, but never showercoffee. This has completely changed my outlook on consumables taken while bathing.

Technically yes. Practically, no.

To be honest, for personal use they aren't too useful due to their volatility. However, systems like Ripple and Ethereum could have potentially very big impacts for banks and busin…

This really is true. During an interview I gave in college, I was rejected because of 'culture fit', because I tried to explain my solution to the interviewer but he wasn't bothere…

Really, check out WPS Office on both Linux and Windows. It's a phenomenal MS-Office clone, 100x better than both OpenOffice and LibreOffice (because it actually acknowledges that M…
