You'd have to file taxes, but won't necessarily owe any.
I think it's a play on "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic".
I see what you're getting at with the first point but what about the second? It seems to me the "quality of engineering culture" at a company doesn't need to correlate with company size.
This is something I've wondered about (along with potential applications of autograd outside of deep learning). Do you have a recommended starting point for someone who wants to learn more about this?
This comparison holds true for most major European nations vs the US.
This is a general fact about Gibbs distributions!
Why is this? Is there a brain drain going on?
This book is great and very much complementary to Strang's approach in that it leans more towards "abstract" linear algebra.
This is very well put. Knowledge has a hierarchical (or perhaps even cyclical!) structure and it's unrealistic to think that a body of knowledge can be taught or learned sequentially.
Maybe I'm biased, but I really don't think so. Monads are quite a bit more abstract than the concepts in linear algebra. Linear algebra is both geometric and algorithmic and therefore very intuitive. Most of the…
Honestly, I think working with computers (possibly some programming) should be more frequently integrated into math courses. A computer is a natural to really interact with the material, like labs in the natural…
A common type of example involves relatively small or uninformative datasets. Say you flip a coin a few times and only get heads. Your maximum likelihood (frequentist) estimate is that the coin will always land heads.…
I find this statement from Paul Graham's Revenge of the Nerds enlightening: > Lisp looks strange not so much because it has a strange syntax as because it has no syntax; you express programs directly in the parse trees…
