The optimizers are lifted from convex optimization, but the point above was that they are applied to highly non-convex problems. They work for finding local minima, but a lot of th…

Encrypt the data with an asymmetric key; and keep the decryption key somewhere offline. You can get a hardware token to store the key on (I think a yubikey can do this).

Comparing the US and Sweden, it's also useful to know that the proportion of refugees accepted by these two countries is wildly different. Sweden has historically taken in many ref…

I think we also have to be honest and admit that, yes, indeed, there is less novel maths for all of us to be doing. The pioneers came first and discovered a lot of low hanging frui…

Oh duh, makes a lot of sense!

The title is a non sequitur from the argument. The point is not to ask for a "bring a non-local to work day" where you tag along to a rando doing their normal routine. The thing th…
