Have you read Goodfellow / Bengio / Courville’s deep learning book? The later chapters go in more depth than most other resources I’ve found.

It’s questionable how “immature” ML really is. Most methods that get used were initially designed 50+ years ago, with various improvements over time. E.g., neural networks were inv…

At the beginning the authors claim they're not just making a restatement of the Stone-Weierstrass theorem (any continuous function on a compact set can be approximated arbitrarily …

If this interests you, a related concept with similar applications as HE is functional encryption: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_encryption

Nice! I like that the author wrote the code by hand rather than leaning on some framework. It makes it a lot easier to connect the math to the code. :) As a meta-comment on these "…

I used to play a lot, and hit 1900 (USCF) before I ran out of time to keep playing competitively. So I'm not a pro by any means, but I might know enough to help you get started. Th…

Hey there -- I'm a co-founder of a small company working in exactly this space. If at all possible, it'd be great for us to get in touch!

But there actually is a huge amount of theory behind that problem. You can exactly derive the method that finds the best line. You can get error bounds on each of your coefficients…

anecdotally, the adapter Apple provided me broke after about three weeks, and it seems like most of my family/friends are in similar situations

Hm, I see. Thanks!

Talking about LWE, the author says: > A major problem with this system is that it has very large keys. To encrypt just one bit of information requires public keys with size n^2 in …

I have a few friends who shared a poorly Photoshopped picture of Hilary Clinton shaking hands with bin Laden. That helped reinforce some of their nutty beliefs during the last elec…

That seems like a plausible argument, but there’s a huge portion of the population that’ll willingly believe any realistic-looking video they see, regardless of the evidence. That …

As others have mentioned, Tao has fantastic resources, and his blog might be worth looking at. Rudin is a classic. I studied real analysis through “Advanced Calculus” by Fitzpatric…
