I have always stayed away from additional software for bibliography management for similar reasons that the authors cites. However, while I do not use Zotero the software, their ZoteroBib (https://zbib.org/) has been a…
Great visualizations. Really enjoyed having a well-written example where mathematical proofs directly help with understanding a practical application. I wonder what would happen with this analysis if a momentum term was…
I use AA and other sites to get non-DRM, PDF versions of academic books that I (mostly) already own so I can read them when I'm away from my office. It's a classic case where people turn to pirating when the market…
I have read the quoted GitHub docs page before and also found it somewhat odd. Not because it shouldn't be allowed to post public code without a LICENSE (or with a restrictive one), but because GitHub has a "Fork"…
> His fame may outlive Foch and Ludendorff, Wilson and Clemenceau. Funny to think how this has aged since 1915. Over a century later Einstein is an almost universally known figure. The others on this list are,…
Hotels with similar amenities are usually priced at absurdly high rates for corporate clients. The place you linked to has the equivalent of a studio apartment with no laundry machine going for over 9000 CAD for a…
I completely agree that it's an open question about what exactly constitutes data science and what should (or at least could) be covered in a standard introduction. For me, a fairly reasonable—though certainly not…
You're thinking too narrowly about what "schema design" could mean. No, data scientists do not typically design back-end, production database systems. But defining and organizing a multi-sheet spreadsheet for manual…
These notes might be a great source for what they cover, but as a whole I find this to be a good example of what is currently wrong with data science education. While the syllabus has bullet points that include "1. data…
LexisNexis, which does other things now but started in the legal space, offers a huge collection of legal opinions with a fairly good search and linking capabilities. Most clerks and law professionals would have access…
There is a rather surprising amount of research about these kinds of approaches [1]. The various strategies and extensions are an interesting read. ^[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_cake-cutting
But arguably the EU is even more motivated by the security issues of an emboldened Russia. Combined with the much stronger environmental push from groups in Europe, it seems reasonable that they would push as much or…
Yes, that's what I learned as well. And that's actually close to what Harvard reported using last year ($2.1 billion from the endowment; 40% of the budget). I was only using the more aggressive number as a thought…
Using Harvard as an example, they had an operating expenses of $5.0 billion in 2021 [1]. In order to cover that, they would need to be having a consistent rate of return around 9% on their ($54 billion) endowment. That…
I see a lot of confusion about college endowments on HN. It's best to think of them not as saving accounts but financial instruments. Annual university budgets make use of the returns off of the endowment, often…
Yes, that's a good point in the case of six keys (I think my point holds for just learning three), but it is not the one made that the article seemed to make.
Interesting quantitative take studying chord distribution. The basic takeaway seems to be that if you re-phrase a song into a different key you can play a lot with just a few chords (I IV V), and even more with a few…
And not just that, usually they can only get it back if you're fired with cause.
Thanks, though I actually meant to copy the entire thing (my fault). My point was that a lot of people working in data analysis would (strongly) disagree with the idea that we need to model the data in order to do…
> The unfortunate truth about data is that nothing much can be done with it This is a fairly strong statement that goes against a lot of other work in data science and information visualization (John Tukey, Edward…
I agree about the product; perhaps they were acquired for the people rather than the actual IP. Would make sense from that perspective for HF, which has leaned strongly in the text direction, if they want to expand in…
The app is different. You can certainly use Netflix on a recent Apple TV [1]. [1] https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23887
The text makes it fairly clear that there is one particular line of code that each slightly longer example is showing off. The one line of interest is highlighted at the top of each example.
> NB. If it's a graph: write out the edge list (etc.) . I don't understand what issue you are referring to. For a dense network, each pair of adjacent layers forms a complete bipartite graph. In other words, edges are…
This is fascinating. Does anyone know the original source of the material?
