yup. deeply regret my time as a postdoc. especially the last few years in the pandemic have been the absolute worst work experience in terms of culture and job satisfaction. it's killed the passion for research i had at…
> Do people think that algebraic geometry might be thought of as the root of all geometry? I certainly don't think of it this way. There are many geometries and spaces that cannot be described fruitfully within the…
I think we're probably thinking of the same papers. There was a competition /session at last year's neurips and there's related papers linked from their webpage. https://www.ecole.ai/2021/ml4co-competition/
> I don't have a personal website It's so easy to make a free blog on github (like sub 5 minutes) with some version of jekyl. You should probably just do it.
There are ways (called heuristics) to solve some NP hard problems faster than exhaustive search. Of course, for theoretical reasons, a heuristic is not guaranteed to be faster on all problem instances. The general idea…
> And that is in itself a dangerous moral and ethical lapse. More importantly, it can be a dangerous business lapse.
As someone who was in Europe for one of the heatwaves of recent years, and whose appartment was in one of these older buildings designed this ways with thick walls etc., I can attest that this only works up to a point.…
FWIW I lead with this whenever I find myself teaching lin.agl. and I agree it's the most important point of context for students entering the subject (and presumably embarking on undergrad math).
You may find this airbnb paper relevant. They use skip-grams to generate feature vectors for their listings. https://www.kdd.org/kdd2018/accepted-papers/view/real-time-p...

Blackwell is engaged in activist investing. Their goal is to make profit by changing how the company is run. This deck is surely part of that campaign. Thus it may contain truths, but it also serves their agenda. Best…
Sounds like inspiration for the next LinkedIn cringepost. If you learn 1 new skill each day for a year... then you will be able to apply the 365 skills you've learned in 365! = 2510412867 5558732292 9294437488…
And this makes everything else in the survey easier. Topic sentences and presentation skills are useful but most important is having something original and substantial to say. The rest follows and is easy by comparison.
Even more fun would be the same graphic produced as an animation in the time dimension.
tldr tldr (Since your version is for people who already understand undergraduate math, this version is for people who already understand upper-level undergraduate/graduate math): If you try to use a product of 3…
Dangerous driving will eventually introduce one to another familiar, but much more devastating, concept: a = dv /dt.
It's funny, I also think Euclidean geometry is a bad way to introduce proofs, but my reason is different from what you just said. I think what you just said is primarily about "writing proofs", which is certainly…
I cannot speak to whether this is still true for modern farm equipment for two reasons. First, my family ran a small livestock operation and older machinery was more affordable to buy/run/repair and fulfilled our needs.…
20+ year old farm equipment. They are easy to use, simple to maintain, often repairable by the farmer on-site (with perhaps a trip to the store to buy a small part). I often found myself marvelling at the complex things…
