aashu_dwivedi··on Mathematics for Computer Science [pdf]
I had used the second edition to refresh my probability before taking a class in AI and found the material succinct and very useful. It's only today that I found out that one of the authors is the CEO of the company I work for.

I work for Akamai Technologies and the author I am talking about is Frank Thomson Leighton.

aashu_dwivedi··on Pebble's next step
I've been wondering about what happens if the next android update breaks the app. For now I've found this open source app which allows you to use your pebble (and mi bands) without the vendor's app.

aashu_dwivedi··on Show HN: Fun tool that cut my family and friends tech support time in half
That's one reason I bought stock android phones for my parents even if they don't care about stock android or not. It's easier to tell them which setting to navigate to or what to tap looking at my phone since I too have a stock android phone.
aashu_dwivedi··on CS221: Artificial Intelligence: Principles and Techniques
Great! Good luck for your grad school journey.

I am mostly finishing up with my degree. And yes I have heard that CS department is not as large but the OMSCS is scaling up very quickly.

aashu_dwivedi··on CS221: Artificial Intelligence: Principles and Techniques
I am a student at online MS from Georgia Tech and a large number of TAs is pretty usual there too.

Incidentally right now I am taking the AI course there and the assignments submission and checking is automated to the core. There are a few hiccups though but the team of TAs is super responsive and working through it.

I think these are the things that should be automated by default in most courseworks as it frees up time for more important things. I see we have a lot of office hours in my course and I can basically jump to any running hangout based office-hour within few hours from the time I have a question.

aashu_dwivedi··on Sebastian Thrun Steps Down as Udacity's CEO
Another omscs student here. I feel that the udacity has played a big role in keeping the quality of omscs high.

Yes it's the professors who create great courses but the post production part of udacity is also a big factor in keeping the quality high on the courses.
