I forwarded this on to someone I know who would be perfect for the DS role; on a separate note, it is _very_ cool to see the amount of effort you put into the landing page for that role. A veritable diamond in the rough…
In my experience working through the first few chapters, I'll say that the attack game framework is pretty standard across lots of course materials from universities (at least the ones that I've found posted online).…
I've worked through the entire Paar book (which is excellent), and I've made a number of attempts at getting through Boneh and Shoup (which is also excellent). I will say that there is a good overlap in content, but the…
Plug for a friend's book that is forthcoming later this summer, "Topology: A Categorical Approach". [1] I can't speak to its contents per se, because there isn't a preview yet, but I can speak to the quality of…
I stand wholly corrected!
"In December 1840, Abraham Lincoln and four other Illinois legislators jumped out of a window in a political maneuver designed to prevent a quorum on a vote that would have eliminated the Illinois State Bank." Imagining…
If I've researched this correctly, I believe that "Nikoli puzzles" are not a formal class of puzzles; rather the terms refers specifically to the publisher of these puzzles [1]. KenKen, on the other hand, was invented…
I was at NeurIPS last year, and I can actually confirm that the line to see Flo-Rida went around the block. It's unclear to me whether or not there was genuine interest in the performance, but there was certainly…
This is great, thanks for sharing! I wish I had known about Sol when I used to teach high school geometry; the fact that many of these constructions can be interpreted pretty openly would have produced a lot of…
Wondering the same! It looks like Part I has been around since late 2015/early 2016 based on the course reviews.
Not a cryptocurrency course per se, but Dan Boneh's course on Cryptography[1] is an excellent introduction to most of the building blocks of cryptosystems, including the technology underlying most cryptocurrencies. In…
Only marginally related, but I spent one of my summers at PROMYS[1] doing research into which complex numbers could be successfully used as bases. As different as the various common integer bases "feel" in terms of…
This reminds me of my first Geocities website: a full repository of KoRn's lyrics to date. It's not that this didn't exist elsewhere on the internet (indeed it did, as of course I used these other sites as source…
Disclaimer: I work as a data scientist at a large financial institution based in the US; to be fair it is one that has a reputation for being on the "cutting edge of tech", FWIW. The data teams I work with don't know…
Shadow options are the only way I can play Sudoku as well; this is also potentially why I don't enjoy playing Sudoku. It always feels like the only way to make progress is by making a number of informal suppositions and…
My intuition says yes; if a wrong number is placed in a square and then taken as ground truth for solving the rest of the puzzle, it certainly seems like the error would propagate. As a concrete example, say you…
I'll speak up from the (seemingly underrepresented) data science side here, despite not making the 3+ years ago cutoff. I attended a data science bootcamp almost two years ago now. It was 12 weeks long and ran 9-5 each…
From the "Ethics" section of the Lyrebird site: "Voice recordings are currently considered as strong pieces of evidence in our societies and in particular in jurisdictions of many countries. Our technology questions the…
