Yeah I had a suspicion that the trend shown in the chart in that thread regarding the decline of DL job posts largely resembles the trend of total job posts.

I've always used Monopoly as a good way to explain inflation. If you play by the stated rules in the game, any property landed on goes up for auction to all players if the current player doesn't want to purchase it. Imagine what

Strang is an excellent teacher and this an effective course for coming up to speed in Linear Algebra fundamentals. I watched every lecture and did most of the homeworks a couple of summers ago in preparation for taking grad ML courses at Ca

I'm stunned that these types of rare items were (very likely) just being hand carried down the street. The article understates how close the bookstore is to the library. My office is across the street from the bookstore (I'm looki

Strang is an excellent lecturer - his videos for 18.06 (Linear Algebra) were instrumental for me in relearning the subject matter more than twenty years after I last studied it. I used 18.06 to learn the linear algebra necessary to prepare
