How Etsy Uses Thermodynamics to Help You Search
- markbnj 11y agoVery smart! I love it when a simple algorithm has a big impact on a problem space. You know it's the real thing when, after hearing it, your reaction is "Of course!"
- jldugger 11y agoHeh, as soon as I saw the word thermodynamics I knew Shannon entropy would be involved, before I even understood the problem space it was trying to solve. Information Theory probably deserves a more prominent slot than it receives in most CS programs.
