For those of us with kids and without access to a world-class university this is huge news. I had to study in Spain. Becoming and engineer here was difficult, but the difficulty laid not in the things we had to learn, but in the hoops they

Nice article, but I suspect the implementation will not work. I did essentially the same for an AI-class exercise, and was thrilled to see that you could write a working Bayes classifier in 60 short lines of Python code. But later I lande

In OSX it's not too hard to set up with orgmode. This will allow you to easily link to mail: (require 'org-mac-message) (global-set-key (read-kbd-macro "C-c C-x m") 'org-mac-message-insert-selected) I find that the easiest way to categorize

Makes me think of an exhibition on Marie Curie I saw in the Nobel museum in Stockholm not long ago. Shoe sellers used to have x-ray machines, so that they could look into the shoe and make sure that the fit was correct. And you could buy

Very neat idea, but I think the reliance in bit.ly is self-defeating. This kind of approach would allow people to distribute documents using the web without having to trust them to a particular server, which can be very convenient if your

I also use Gandi. I moved away from godaddy some years ago, and I am happy with the change. Good customer support, clean interface. If only they changed their brain-dead login system, and made their web work with something other than fir

It might be far-fetched in this context, but I find that meditation helps with this kind of tricks of the mind. Spend some time a day trying not to be lost in idle considerations about yourself, success and failure, and you end up having a

I took the AI class, and I also saw a degradation of the difficulty. At the beginning it was great. I even undusted my old 48SX, and had lots of fun: they actually made me think. But some of the lessons towards the end were almost a joke

Moonwalking with Einstein is a good read. I found it worth the time I spent on it. But it's on an altogether different league.

This is a real game changer for those of us outside the US. My kids are 11 and 13 now. This looks like a huge opportunity growing for them. It will no longer matter that they will be far from a world-class university.

It's interesting that it's hard to explain, because the fingers will play the chord by themselves and I need to stop and think to know what I am actually typing. C-x r k to cut a rectangle, and C-x r t to add one filled with, for example, t
