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.
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…
