   I haven't anything with fastText, but I have with word2vec. It embeds each word in a 300 dimensional vector, such that similar words have a large cosine similarity. (If you normalize each vector to have a unit norm, then cosine simila

   The paper you link is about word2vec, which has taken quite a while to understand. This paper shows word2vec is a particular factorization of the word-context matrix. Neural Word Embedding as Implicit Matrix Factorization https:/&#x2F

   There have been a number of attempts to automatically do redistricting using Operations Research techniques. Here's one such slide deck, using integer programming. http://www.illc.uva.nl/COST-IC1205/documents/

   Why are there so many cables going up to terminate in Alaska? It seems a bit over represented.

   The article reminds me a bit of the Maine School for Science and Mathematics ( http://www.mssm.org/ ). It is a free boarding school run by the state of Maine to support those kids who don't have a school district where t

   Yes, on the whole they seemed to like it. Which isn't true of many of the redesigns they reviews.

    Right, they're just using an understandable basis, without having to talk about what they pay.

    I thought the same thing. I'm giving my 16 year old son (who's into hacking) a lifetime subscription for Christmas, so I would really have been bummed if they were closing down.

    I'm a huge fan of the Cartoon Guide to Statistics. I imagine all Larry Gonick's books are worth a read: http://www.larrygonick.com/

    It was a lot of little things. One big takeaway is that they're big on going vertical not horizontal. Find a niche. There was some useful stuff on landing page optimization. patio11 gave a talk that year that was great. I also found

    I think your parent was making a joke. But I thought the conference was worth it. That said, one of the two conference organizers has a book that is in the same vein. At the very least, read his book: Start Small, Stay Small: A Developer

    Sorry, looking at the paper, they aren't claiming a polynomial time solution, so I retract my previous comment. They just claim "faster" than previous, but still exponential. The previous best was O (2^(n/2)) time and O

    Subset sum is NP-complete ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subset_sum_problem ), so wouldn't this imply that P = NP? Hence, I don't believe it.

    Sure, good point. You have the Sublime/Textmate/Atom model too. I was talking among TUI editors.

    You should open source it. I find it interesting that there is so little exploration of how an editor should work outside of the emacs and vim models. It is like those are the only two possible ways.

    Well, it was a acquihire, which is kind of sad. Not a failure for investors, perhaps, but certainly for their customers.

    Yes, having .pdf versions of papers, that you could annotate would be very cool.

    Yes, that's the Pragmata guy. I first paid for his font in January 2004, and he still sends out updates. (I did upgrade to Pragmata Pro in 2011, but still). He's been doing nifty program specific ligatures lately.
