   I just read a 32 page script and now I want you to write major television shows. Is that your actual job? This is really good.

   Pedantic comment: you don't need the previous results to compute the nth fibonacci number; the recurrence has a closed form solution. It is not constant time to compute (unless you assume constant time, infinite precision arithmetic) i

   This is more of a primer on "the first two years of college mathematics" than a primer for Machine Learning, honestly. Still, not a bad resource.

   I believe Jason Katz-Brown reads this board (@jasonkb) who is the author of the Quackle AI (the strongest scrabble program, perhaps?) http://people.csail.mit.edu/jasonkb/quackle/

   I know you're getting downvoted, but to be totally honest, the first thing I thought of was postgres TOAST tables as well, given the general technical nature of this site.

   I used to be an engineer at Airbnb. It's not, in fact, the case that people are doing "unpaid overtime". My favorite example of this: there are a great number of people who work there who were MORE than willing to take a free

   Autocorrelation may also be a useful tool here - have you considered it at all?

    This is a great write-up. I had the fortune of visiting a national Ramen festival in Japan (and the privilege of being on national Japanese television as the novel white-person!) and I really enjoyed sampling the various regional varieties

    The MIT Admissions website lets student bloggers write about essentially whatever they want - Lydia has written a number of excellent posts that are entirely unrelated to MIT admissions as well. In particular, this writeup is related to one

    Submission statement: this is a remarkably accessible presentation (with hand-drawn diagrams!) on the concept of geometric invariants and their use in the proof of an early 20th century problem about equivalence between polyhedra.

    My team at Airbnb is working on a tool called "Salus" - named after the Roman goddess of hygiene - that allows you to check the correctness of your data in a number of common, extensible ways. Perhaps this is something that the op

    Erons and I (you'll probably not recognize me?) worked on the bathroom server about a year ago - I think the infrastructure is still in place, it might just need to be reconnected.

    I've been working on this problem as well - the idea is to come up with a "dynamic decision" boundary that allows you to have a "virtual p-value" for different points in time that is equivalent to the 5% p-value at

    Kelner was my advisor as an undergraduate - I loved listening to him talk about graph problems. He always seemed to have a novel way of looking at something like this. I'm glad to see him get some excellent new results!
