The part about dad joke square theory got me thinking about this classic scarecrow joke, which feels like an example from some higher order version of square theory: "Why was the scarecrow given an award?" "He was out standin

I am told that an interesting alternative is the Structured State Space for Sequence Modeling (S4). I don't personally know much about this technique, but didn't see anybody else mention this in this thread. https://sru

I had him as a teaching assistant when I was teaching data structures at Princeton back in Fall 2013. Princeton CS has their professors rotate through as TAs every so often through their courses. That semester, I made a slight mistake on th

I just tried o1, and it did pretty well with understanding this minor issue with subtitles on a Dutch TV show we were watching. I asked it "I was watching a show and in the subtitles an umlaut u was rendered as 1/4, i.e. a single

I'm curious to hear feedback, especially: 1. Given the limited amount of scarce student time I want to spend on this, do pull requests / GitHub actions tests (provided for them) / code reviews seem like the right team process

I'll get pondering. Having some sort of rube goldeberg-esque mega project was my original idea, but finding a specific form for it has been elusive. Taking inspiration from Factorio in some way is an interesting proposition. Will consi
