I make some long notes for students that I am sometimes teaching. I use Jupyter Notebook, and use export to PDF feature. It renders the code, the text, and LaTeX equations perfectly. I have also written stuff in Markdown and converted them

A lot of people are wondering why MOOCs as a whole industry failed. I learned a lot from MOOCs, and can attribute much of my professional success to MOOCs. I can think of these reasons- 1. There are so much great content available for free,

Does something similar exist for Rust?

I did most of it. Can recommend. Very nice intro, no fanaticism, great teaching, good pacing. Pretty much perfect for a beginner. Among the best ways to get into functional programming. I found it a bit slow for myself. But great content, n

Never measure your level of preparedness using conventional academic degrees. Just try it, if you can do it, you are ready, and if you can't, you aren’t.

Microsoft also has similar courses on IoT, and Data Science. I found the IoT one really nice [0], and it covers a lot of ground. [0]: https://github.com/microsoft/IoT-For-Beginners

Here's an issue with the said "Downloadload PDF" button: https://cacm.acm.org/issue/august-2023/ . But, when I click it, it doesn't download anything. But opens a page of topic hierarchy (?).

I could not find a link from where I could access the said archive.

It takes me some days to a week or two to learn the syntax. I do that from a book or YT playlist. And I do it really fast, because, I know, if I forget something, I am just a Google search away from an answer. About the more advanced parts,

I wonder when something by Neal Stephenson will be made into a series/movie. He has so much good content.

If you use Deep Neural Nets, even for Computer Vision, it's still Deep Learning, and can be categorized as AI.

For the last ~3 years I worked for companies. No proper publication. But some articles here and there [0]. My Master’s thesis [T]. A (trivial) game to learn Ruby [1]. There are a lot that are not published anywhere. I have left my full time

Embrace a project-oriented approach. The project can be an app, a paper, or an article. Define what you want to do. Then start working on that. Embrace a top-down approach. Learn only on a need-to-know basis. When you need to know something

Yeah, in Social Sciences, Liberal Arts, your "reputation" matters more, which is really about connections.

The idea of a Polymath is actually more relevant today than earlier years. Each field has grown into a silo with "experts" in one field barely knowing about the cutting edge of another field. Before what was the cutting edge was

Do mean that you forget? Or don't want to? I am ignorant of these things. Please let me know.

I would like to take this opportunity to ask others: - What services do you use for lossless music streaming? - When you have a FLAC file, how do you listen to it in an Android phone or a Linux/Windows machine? Which apps/software

There are precisely two realizations that helped me beat procrastination, but I know that these won't be helpful in every situation: - Totally keep motivation out of the equation. Depend fully on routine. Give yourself time to think be

Yes, I agree with that. But their focus in being sustainable is coming at the cost of basic functionality. The app has grown a lot slower, and became buggy, along with it having several dark patters pushing for monetization.

Hi Vlad, would you consider providing subscription via never expiring model to Kagi search? No need to lower prices, but, say, X searches in Y dollars? But the search quota never expires? Like the OpenAI API model. If you offered such subsc

Exactly what GP and you are saying. If I am not the CTO, I am just a servant (based on the word "service"), whom you are paying to execute to do what you deem needs to be done. And no one reaches this level of cynicism in one day.

Honestly, TG was the most convenient messaging app that I had ever seen. I used it for the convenience. Until they focused all their energy, time to monetization features. The quality of rest of the app began to deteriorate.

I guess I will be uninstalling Telegram, now. It was great, then it focused on monetization at the cost of other things. I still kept it because I could simply share an handle and talk with strangers over the internet on my phone/lapto

Obsidian is what I stuck with after seriously trying 10+ notetaking apps. It has native clients for Linux, Android, and all files are plain MD. I can freely sync everything with third party apps. Total freedom.

What you say, makes sense. But where I was, there was no clear boundary between my work and more work. When I am done with my work, I am handed others' work. So, zero time to learn other things and grow. Or read books. Or anything, rea

I am 24, and I know life will get in the way at some point of early 30s, or late 20s. I want that to happen. Before that happens, I want to learn as much as possible, spread myself over diverse fields of knowledge. That doesn't happen

Yes, I am still in India. I didn't look around enough and hesitant to migrate to Europe for personal reasons. I was recruited by a Director directly in this company. Update: I left the job last week. That's why I couldn’t reply to
