Hopefully DeepMind will think twice before sending cease-and-desist orders to any Hawaiian AI robotics businesses with aloha in the name!

This means that if you have the multiple instances of the same web component on the page, you need to duplicate the whole style tag in each (right?), which seems unwholesome.

Six Abel laureates (out of 22) had previously won the Fields Medal: Serre, Aliyah, Thompson, Milner, Deligne, and Margulis.

I love the "simplest nontrivial example" approach to exposition. I think I learned a lot from the article because it was grounded in the concrete problem "call a BLAS function from Javascript". Great post!

I really like how the author enumerates and links to his most important sources right in the introduction.

A company moving away from Nvidia/CUDA while the field is developing so rapidly would result in that company falling behind. When (if) the rate of progress in the AI space slows, then perhaps the big players will have the breathing roo

Do you know of any (families of) examples of tabular datasets of any size (you can choose what "big" means) where deep learning convincingly outperforms traditional methods? I would love some quality examples of this nature to u

Hashtags are great for “right now” or ephemeral topics that wouldn’t fit into a hierarchy.

Don’t you think that ship has sailed? Python powers software of incredible complexity these days including back-ends for large companies and all of AI (yes, I know the “hard parts” are written in C++, but still).

Perhaps memory plays a much larger role in human intelligence, reasoning, and cognition than we give it credit for.

I’m not convinced you can draw any legitimate conclusions about learning, cognition, memory, etc. from EEG activity.

I’m really excited about Mojo’s potential. But I don’t think it’s ready for real use outside it’s AI niche yet. Being able to call Mojo functions from Python is the sentinel capability I’m waiting for before considering its use for general

Every time an integer feasible point is found during the iterative process these algorithms use (branch and bound), you get a new upper bound on the global minimum. It’s not clear to me how these dynamically generated upper bounds highly sp

The new algorithm of R&R would need to replace the algorithms at the core of Gurobi, CPlex, etc. These tools are marvels of engineering, extremely complex, results of decades of incremental improvements. If would likely take significant

What about option D. Use a WebView. This is exactly what the author did. The point of the proposal is identify which features of a WebView can be used (and which must not) if the goal is to produce nice text layouts in multiple form factors

Slides can be an extremely good medium for learning. Because brevity is required by the format, slides can require a lot more thoughtful attention to emphasize and carefully explain key points than the long-form text format. I think the cou

OCAML uses the terminology “(Polymorphic) Variant” for this kind of thing. Since OCAML is awesome, I consider this a strong precedent.
