Pretty sure the answer is no as a math problem where f is pure. If f returns the same answer each time, the square ending at N,N contains [1, N * N]. Then the rectangle ending at N…

Is your "winning" strategy so different from other social data / sentiment analysis approaches? There is some novelty with how you weigh the sentiments (based on how much of an ins…

The most damaging advice I ever got in my life was to talk to myself. I have always thought in mostly visual/symbolic terms. This made me really good with math early in my life, bu…

There are firsthand accounts from women who did compete successfully on why it's harder for them (for example first answer is from a female IOI silver medalist): https://www.quora.…

I watched these lectures a few years ago and they were really good. Since this is meant to be a graduate level research course, I wonder if any cutting edge topics have been added …

I wonder how they are going to handle security/abuse? Once the training is on end user devices, can't the user give fake results? For example back when recaptcha was introduced, tr…

I write a lot of scientific code with python and in those cases you really want your equations and matrix columns aligned for readability. These matrices appear so often adding fmt…

For example Peter Norvig does an exemplary job with jupyter notebooks for expository writings: https://github.com/norvig/pytudes

Using ln as our utility, at time N we get: E[ln(X_1*...*X_N)] = sum E[ln(X)] So kelly happens to maximize this expected utility by construction since it was derived by maximizing e…

I think the log is just the utility function. You could substitute it with any non-linear utility function and it would've gave you another answer that makes sense for that utility…

Tangentially related, this reminds me of the spy recordings[1] between incarcerated German nuclear physicists and their reactions to the atomic bomb dropping. At first they were in…

I wrote a similar comment before, viewing redux as a realization of the event sourcing pattern: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17061827 You can go even further and use the ex…

One thing people don't realize is that a lot of web analytics software already do "session recording". So it can playback every wiggle of your mouse, every scroll, every keystroke,…

> So they trained it using 100 GPUs (100 GPUs dear lord!), and got no difference until fourth decimal digit! 100 GPU's to get a difference on fourth decimal digit! That's hilarious…

His previous post was probably the best overview on program synthesis paradigms (circa 2015): https://homes.cs.washington.edu/~bornholt/post/synthesis-exp... It's a much broader ov…

I saw something similar before (from gifs.com's sticker editor of all things lol) where you annotate the segmentation of the first frame of the video and it will propagate that seg…

If you're already using react/redux, there's one really nice pattern to make eventsourcing easy to implement. I learned it from the boardgame.io google project[1]. Basically redux …

This visualization is really cool and innovative! It's useful for seeing the changes in the stream of values even if they are small relative to absolute magnitude (e.g., 1000001 ->…
