Do you have suggestions for PL reading lists? I nearly never see PL mentioned on them, and have been looking for alternatives for some time as PFPL offers one approach + style to many of the problems they address, but I would love a broader

It's more about relational algebra rather than implementation (at least when I took it)

What did you have when you were at Carnegie Mellon if I may ask!

I will have to respectively disagree :)

Sorry I have a number of questions on this > You know, as a former academic, I was reading this list and I immediately knew: This is written by someone in academia (and sure enough, you find out at the bottom it is). What defines academi

Thanks for the reply, and the point of view! I definitely need to be able to orient myself better. And this was more of the question "would it be worthwhile to spend a year doing research at a Riken or similar" in terms of growth,

Ah I apologize for misunderstanding -- I agree with this point quite well

I dont think that's fair to them. Having a GP solver in the bg is very hard and very computationally expensive -- their costs are way more than similar Show HN and saying "Doesn't scale" I don't believe acknowledges

Sorry I have a bunch of questions (biased heavily for CS + STEM fields) 1) Do you know anyone from the West who would go to Japan for a professorship? I just asked around my univ (which is top 3 publication-wise) and it seems like if you go

(as someone who went to a CS target school) I would disagree with this, I would argue what you did also matters and who you're trying to impress

Sorry in what field? I would argue the number of these (as a %) on average are much lower (metric: top tier publications) Also if you're looking at Asian univs, Tsinghua, Peking, SNU, NUS, KAIST and (CUHK/HKUST) should be there

^ this! Though I would argue not all top schools make it easy to change majors also the in major matriculation rate (people who start and dont transfer/change majors) vs school matriculation rate (do they graduate) is very important es

I would have to disagree with "normal"-- many phd students at top (CS) univs in Europe and US can get hired for research-relevant work - e.g. off the top of my head Goog Research, MSR, FAIR, Uber, Snapchat, AirBnB hire a non-trivi

Can you qualify 'leaders in science' ? It's hard to quantify a broad statement :)

^ The authors time and effort they observe it takes to create state-of-the-art CNNs, but their point-of-comparison CNNs look to be fairly simple -- I don't see an AlexNet or something for some of these tasks either just as a point of c

could anyone more familiar with the situation give context around the decision + what is happening moving forward? Thanks

by aerioux 10y ago
again i disagree - i know for a fact of cs masters students with undergrad degrees in biology, neuroscience, and humanities (though with high gpas in those)

by aerioux 10y ago
I'm going to have to disagree. Physics/Math is useful but your particular field/speciality in CS is relevant as well. I would bet a bit more money on a CS grad to understand convexity, comp geometry and optimization than a ph

by aerioux 10y ago
i'm sorry but this is not correct. CS Masters programs are more money-making then credential caring. Georgia Tech's MS as well as CMU's both accept non-CS traditional backgrounds. This is trivially verifiable on linkedin. Tha

this is an older version -- the actual book this is excerpted from uses Intel mostly now (the canonical CSPP book) and also has many revisions to 'modernize' it, such as reducing the x86 sections in favor of x64
