I forwarded this on to someone I know who would be perfect for the DS role; on a separate note, it is _very_ cool to see the amount of effort you put into the landing page for that…

In my experience working through the first few chapters, I'll say that the attack game framework is pretty standard across lots of course materials from universities (at least the …

I've worked through the entire Paar book (which is excellent), and I've made a number of attempts at getting through Boneh and Shoup (which is also excellent). I will say that ther…

Plug for a friend's book that is forthcoming later this summer, "Topology: A Categorical Approach". [1] I can't speak to its contents per se, because there isn't a preview yet, but…

I stand wholly corrected!

"In December 1840, Abraham Lincoln and four other Illinois legislators jumped out of a window in a political maneuver designed to prevent a quorum on a vote that would have elimina…

If I've researched this correctly, I believe that "Nikoli puzzles" are not a formal class of puzzles; rather the terms refers specifically to the publisher of these puzzles [1]. Ke…

I was at NeurIPS last year, and I can actually confirm that the line to see Flo-Rida went around the block. It's unclear to me whether or not there was genuine interest in the perf…

This is great, thanks for sharing! I wish I had known about Sol when I used to teach high school geometry; the fact that many of these constructions can be interpreted pretty openl…

Only marginally related, but I spent one of my summers at PROMYS[1] doing research into which complex numbers could be successfully used as bases. As different as the various commo…

This reminds me of my first Geocities website: a full repository of KoRn's lyrics to date. It's not that this didn't exist elsewhere on the internet (indeed it did, as of course I …

Disclaimer: I work as a data scientist at a large financial institution based in the US; to be fair it is one that has a reputation for being on the "cutting edge of tech", FWIW. T…

Shadow options are the only way I can play Sudoku as well; this is also potentially why I don't enjoy playing Sudoku. It always feels like the only way to make progress is by makin…

My intuition says yes; if a wrong number is placed in a square and then taken as ground truth for solving the rest of the puzzle, it certainly seems like the error would propagate.…

I'll speak up from the (seemingly underrepresented) data science side here, despite not making the 3+ years ago cutoff. I attended a data science bootcamp almost two years ago now.…

From the "Ethics" section of the Lyrebird site: "Voice recordings are currently considered as strong pieces of evidence in our societies and in particular in jurisdictions of many …
