This is already supported via listChanged. The problem is that >90% of clients currently don’t implement this - including Anthropic’s, https://modelcontextprotocol.io/clients

The model in question is "convince small and medium businesses that they need to buy my software in order to do things the same way as large companies X and Y and have a hope of re…

I wonder what proportion of "pure" CS algorithms can be conceptualized as an application of one of the fixed point theorems and/or properties of monotone operators. There has got t…

Have you checked the "Articles" section on betterexplained.com? Clearly the author of the article is trying to put his ideas into practice - not perfect but rather helpful in foste…

Some really nice suggestions in the article that for whatever reason are not often brought up while discussing maths education. A good way to bootstrap the "math avengers" website …

As pointed out in the comments on blogspot, CS is hardly the degree with biggest focus on optimization. Try operations research, systems & control, economics or even the MBA!

If you don't already understand them, probably a good idea to skip the detailed derivations and look for the big picture. The course is really quite hard to follow closely if it's …

Find a semi recent advanced textbook (preferably one that is used in at least one of the better schools) and use google scholar from there (both papers cited in the text and those …

These "best paper" lists are almost comical and a very poor way to find important papers. Have a look at citation statistics for the older "winners", they are only marginally bette…

There is a number of really quite good applied maths courses on youtube (roughly in this order from each group): MIT 18.06, 18.085, 18.086, 6.262, 6.450 Stanford EE263, EE364A, EE2…

Thanks for the reply. If you are already running these private competitions it might be useful to advertise them a bit more openly (then you will need some formal criteria for join…

Not surprising at all - kaggle (as currently implemented) is a fundamentally broken model. On top of the rather unpleasant "everybody pays auction" or "winner take all" system, the…

All true, but the idea that a good fraction of combinatorial algorithms that undergrads see can be replaced (albeit less efficiently) by linear programming is important. Not clear …

Just for fun - "stochastic optimization" as in here: www2.isye.gatech.edu/~ashapiro/download.php?Down=book is in fact identical to "empirical risk minimization" in Vapnik's statist…

I think now it is fairly generally appreciated that interior point methods constitute perhaps the most powerful class of tractable algorithms there is, yet remarkably they are hard…

OR/CS is not the ultimate combination. If you want to do interesting work in this space you ideally need a background in all of optimization (ILP, convex NLP, stochastic optimizati…

Do you know a reference that presents state estimation from this point of view? I have painstakingly arrived to this myself, following somewhat sketchy remarks in Gilbert Strang's …

All good advice - operator theory in various guises is ubiquitous in applications but certainly not something many discern even through grad school in CS. Probably not much point t…

Also, to save much future grief, the undergraduate degree should be in maths.

If you are interested in learning this topic, do not go directly to Koller/Friedman book - it sure contains a lot of material but its presentation is not well integrated (just look…

As usual, an excellent summary. Economic models based on low level data (essentially better "instrumentation", capturing bank transactions, some contracts, individual spending etc.…
