This isn't a surprising result if you know what competition programming code looks like. Everyone has their own distinctive personal library/template/boilerplate that they are pasting for every problem since includes, typedef

Do you remember the list of other skills? I think it's kind of like teaching someone how to ride a bike. No amount of theory and coaching will help until the connections form in their brain. Smarter everyday has an interesting video[1]

In queuing theory, it's well known that choosing the request with lowest service time first will result in lowest waiting time on average across the requests. This is usually not done because it can starve the larger jobs. https:&#x2F

Are they? I tried understanding how that worked a few years ago and it led me to something called "stream fusion" which seems like a magical set of code rewriting rules that wasn't even on by default in haskell[1]. For exampl

You should submit that link as a separate submission. It was a pretty good read.

I do use git too. But it's nice to be able to jump between multiple computers without needing to push an incomplete commit to remote (when I get tired from sitting in front of desktop I switch to laptop to code in bed). Also dropbox&#x

Oh wow I didn't know about that limitation. Doing `find . -type f | wc -l` I have ~270000 so I am about to hit it. It would be great if they can implement a .dropboxignore so I can get it to stop syncing node_modules folders. I really

I was going to say that this seems like the same as deeplearn.js[0], but it turns out this is built on top of it. So I guess the real feature is cross-platform compatibility between node and browser? [0] https://github.com/P

Can someone explain the intuition behind how the lipschitz constant k is chosen? It seems like even in his demo video, k starts off underestimated which made the upperbound not a upperbound (f is sometimes above the green line U) and is onl

How do humans generate these labels? Not from this field and I am curious about the UI aspect of it. It's not like you can give each of your min-wage labelers a VR headset/controller to draw bounding boxes with.

I said it was overkill because I thought I had a simple analytical solution as follows. Note: I don't know anything about segmented regression, this is just your standard CS dynamic programming to calculate splits DP[i][j] = min over k

If I understand correctly, the reason a CNN is used here is because we want to find the splits that a human would visually agree "looks" the best? So rather than a regression it's more like the "line simplification"
