The final, formatted version of the article will be published soon.
Haha, smart way to gain traction even if the final paper turns out to tell a completely different story from the abstract..

I'm 100% sure there's some form of EKF on some loop on AirTags too.
It's only supposed to be somewhat intuitive for those who already possess some intermediate level college math background.
And no, rejecting the notion that not every advanced topic is supposed to be accurately ELI5-ed with a cringy Redditesque tone, means neither there's any gatekeeping taking place nor there's lack of understanding from the potential explainer's side.
Gotta love that USA's 'A'P classes' entire curriculum are Chapter 1, p.1 everywhere else.

And even if it's the case that they were formerly sheltered but 'decided' to be homeless again, it's probably the shelter provider that didn't do a great job at accommodating them.
In any case, cultural opposition to housing is a pretty weak argument to make in order to express despair where your valuable taxpayer money goes to.
This has to be the most peak late stage capitalism shit I've ever read here. It's not a terrible idea to keep a few things to oneself I guess...
However they seem to be falling into the same pitfalls with the frontend rockstar programmer-influencers; omitting and even undermining the importance of formal computer science education.
Especially if we're talking about getting into non-web development/IT roles, it's quite a lofty goal to expect mastery in programming complex software without some structured curriculum that will help you obtain the fundamentals to do so. And no, Coursera unfortunately won't make the cut most of the time.
Get a degree in Comp. Sci/Comp. Eng or at least some STEM degree and then a Masters. I understand the US-centric view of tertiary education being a risk due to large capital investment but in the rest of the world where it's affordable/free, most would hesitate to hire self-taught developers, even in web development positions.
The degree may not be enough for systems programming competency and this is where advice in the article about open source contribution comes to play, but I'd say it's kind of necessary unless you're some bunniefoo type of brain or idk.
5. Install Browser Extensions
Browser extensions can help you check the web for free versions of academic articles.
The Unpaywallbrowser extension gathers content from more than 50,000 journals and open-access repositories worldwide.
The Open Access Button searches “millions of articles” from sources that include “all of the aggregated repositories
in the world, hybrid articles, open access journals, and those on authors’ personal pages,” according to its website.
If the Open Access Button does not find free versions of the articles you’re looking for, it will contact the authors and
ask them to share their work by putting it into an open access repository.In 2005 ACM's CCS Zhuang, Zhou and Tygar presented Keyboard Acoustic Emanations Revisited [1]
We examine the problem of keyboard acoustic emanations. We
present a novel attack taking as input a 10-minute sound recording
of a user typing English text using a keyboard, and then recovering
up to 96% of typed characters. There is no need for a labeled
training recording. Moreover the recognizer bootstrapped this way
can even recognize random text such as passwords: In our experiments,
90% of 5-character random passwords using only letters can
be generated in fewer than 20 attempts by an adversary; 80% of 10-
character passwords can be generated in fewer than 75 attempts.
Our attack uses the statistical constraints of the underlying content,
English language, to reconstruct text from sound recordings
without any labeled training data. The attack uses a combination
of standard machine learning and speech recognition techniques,
including cepstrum features, Hidden Markov Models, linear classification,
and feedback-based incremental learning
We show that PC keyboards, notebook keyboards, telephone
and ATM pads are vulnerable to attacks based on
differentiating the sound emanated by different keys. Our
attack employs a neural network to recognize the key being
pressed. We also investigate why different keys produce
different sounds and provide hints for the design of homophonic
keyboards that would be resistant to this type of attack.
Maybe this applies to the lower paying quant roles (Trader/Dev).
No chance of getting hired for a Quant Research position without grad school education though.

No one right in their head would claim that knowledge of 'only' HS math is insufficient when it comes to having a successful career in Front-End, Back-End, Ops, Cloud etc and many other positions pertaining to web technologies. I have no idea what people in this sector do but I'd highly doubt advanced math knowledge would even benefit their career considering they are remaining there.
However the fact that there are people on this very platform saying that those who say Linear Algebra mastery is "gatekeeping" to people aspiring to become Machine Learning engineers demonstrates, at the very least, poor critical thinking on their part about the inefficiency of self - learning math only through 'pleasant' means such as:
I will only watch this cool video with animations,laying on my bed, about this hard math concept instead of grabbing some paper and pencil and carefully study some high quality textbook. I need to built intuition ASAP !!!
The recent ones haven’t remained in the same pathway unfortunately.
