I'm not sure I agree with some of these figures. Vancouver and Nashville are somehow considered to have similar cost of living. https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?cou...

What are people doing to cycle through windows on nested tmuxes? I often hide the outer tmux captures keybindings before the inner one can see them.

Your comment expanded out is what I had hoped that blogpost would have been. Thank you for posting this. It's hard to overstate how much easier bidirectional typechecking is compared to other approaches. My favorite starting point is a

I agree a lot of data can be represented graphically, but if you look at the literature it mostly is getting shoehorned into vector spaces. This doesn't mean people shouldn't learn about Graph Laplacians and friends, but I don&#x2

I disagree about the graph theory as well. Unless you are doing things with learning on networks you won't need it. I think a solid background in linear algebra, multivariate calculus, and convex optimization will take you really far.

Well as another machine learning researcher, I think you can make a major impact working on problems that aren't in AI. Now if you are a PL person interested in AI we would love to have you and your expertise! Oh and if you want to use

I'm sorry you didn't feel any of the challenges had substance. They were still challenged.

This is what sklearn does for their documentation and it's fantastic!

People can express any opinion they want in public. Inside a company isn't public. Also while you do have a right to an opinion you don't have a right to it going unchallenged and questioned. Also how can you be so sure he wasn&#x

So one challenge I face is that many of my tabs are for web content that isn't always there. Do any of these extensions like Great Suspender, Session Buddy, etc actually let me save the webpage as it is and then let me choose to refetc

Do we actually give the finance industry a pass? The fact that "Wall st" is a pejorative these days is some indication that's not the case.

This book and Ross-Larson's Effective Writing series are the books that finally taught me how to write. If you write as part of your job. These books are gold.

I did not know about gradcheck. Thanks for the pointer! I have some handwritten code that does some of this for me. But essentially, yes! I want better tooling to catch my mistakes.

I wish there were more ways to unit test the gradient calculations in my code. While I try to use AD as much as possible, it isn't always feasible. Of course it isn't just gradient since if you are implementing something like Adag

I appreciate it. Anyway all my old email addresses still work if you want to get back in touch.

Hey this is cf. I had no idea this was all going on, and I appreciate you trying to shield me and other people from getting pulled into this. You dropped off Jabber and I worried if you were alright. I'm glad to see you thriving in Ice

Sure, but is it actually deleted? Or is this still stored somewhere in Google ready to be retrieved if needed?

The topology explanation is about what I had in mind for motivation. I think to appreciate cohomology, I need appreciate what problems in homology it makes easy to solve. To appreciate that I need have the vocabulary of algebraic topology.

I feel when it comes to motivation in math, I just want to know why people got so excited about a particular theorem in the first place. I'm ok with the answer "before this theorem we assumed all these different things we proved i

People with kids have very particular timetables they have to hit. Usually their lunch time would not be so regimented. Truthfully, though the best thing is to try it out and see the kind of people you get. I made it a point to engage with

That seems sensible. For our meetup we assumed 50% no-show, and that 10-30% would RSVP within 24 hours of the event. We only showed the location if you RSVPed just to get better estimates, but ultimately we did the math and calibrated from

Consider having in during lunch hours. Especially if there is a topic relevant to work, managers will be super supportive of people going to them.

As somebody that ran a successful meetup which I grew from 0 to 1500+ members (now 2700) on meetup.com the article feels like it misses the point of the meetups. The presenter being late, disorganized, and talking down to the audience is a

Anil Dash actually wrote a great article about this. The short summary is you need real humans doing the moderating. All the tooling you create should be about enhancing those humans. http://anildash.com/2011/07/if
