I'm a very technical person, but I never feel dumber than when doing mathematics. Self-teaching it is especially challenging. In many fields, one can learn to recognize general pat…

Several versions ago, there was a mod (maybe called "homeworld") that had a sink of you sending various resources through a portal back "home". It started simple with N iron plates…

The "Math Misery" blog has several problems like this, for example http://mathmisery.com/wp/2017/04/02/cryptarithmetic-puzzle-8...

That story sounds exactly like Ooka Tadasuke. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%8Coka_Tadasuke#Famous_case...

I don't often self-promote, but my channel, DanDoesData, hosts the long-form type of series you may be looking for. Every video is a hour of live-stream where I research, design, a…

Can you describe some of your methodology for detecting the fakes? Presumably you have trained a detector on a large data set; did you generate this yourself using several popular …

I was a little bummed to see no mention of `slimux`. It's a fantastic way to execute commands in a real shell (another tmux pane) from the comfort of your ViM session. By combining…

I really enjoy vim tabs for multiple files. Especially if I don't need to see all of them at once, but just quickly switch between them. `:tabnew foo.txt` to open another file, the…

I created a video course aimed at ML enthusiasts with software experience. It introduces Google's TensorFlow library, walks through code examples, and tries intuitively explain som…

I actually studied exactly that! The optimal calculations for headway distance get a bit involved, but I coded up a modest algorithm and simple simulator. https://github.com/dvbunt…

Is it really "making it too easy" if you're applying your knowledge of the structure of the problem space to make it easier for the computer to solve? Certainly this isn't easy to …

Interesting concept. The aggregating of documentation and analysis together reminds me of a Jupyter notebook. If you add in a fully-featured CAD plugin and connect everything to AW…
