dil8··on GraphCast: AI model for weather forecasting
Graph neural networks are deep learning models that trained on graph data.
dil8··on How big data carried graph theory into new dimensions
I agree, combining GNNs with temporal signals and dynamics graphs make them so expressive. Another great recent paper on this topic https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.15978
dil8··on Beyond message passing: A physics-inspired paradigm for graph neural networks
Check out dgl (https://github.com/dmlc/dgl). A lot of papers and algorithms are implemented in the examples section.
dil8··on Is Facebook's “Prophet” the time-series Messiah or just a naughty boy?
> If you want to predict (multiple) time series using multiple series as input/predictors, that's a whole new level of difficulty. I don't know of a good automatic/fast/scalable approach that properly guards against overfitting

Have you had a look at algorithms contained in pytorch forcasting? https://pytorch-forecasting.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

dil8··on SQL Notebook
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing.
dil8··on Ask HN: What is the biggest untapped opportunity for startups?
I think the OP is referring to algorithmic probability. See

dil8··on Georgia Tech Offers Online Master of Science in Analytics Degree for Under $10K
Does anyone know of an online mathematics masters degree?
dil8··on Information, Physics and Computation (2009)
This is the standard notation used in most probability theory books and courses.
dil8··on ProtonMail's encrypted email is now available to all
Is this service open source? How can we know it does what it says it does?
dil8··on How Julian Assange Is Destroying WikiLeaks
I think one aspect that the article misses, is the fact that the public can't make an informed decision with their votes if the government has secrets.
dil8··on Facebook's “free internet” programme hits a roadblock in India
One more reason to stop using facebook.
dil8··on Physicists and Philosophers Debate the Boundaries of Science
Intersting read on Bayesian Epistemology

dil8··on Atlassian's success reminds what a crappy place Australia is for tech business
I believe he also said 'coal is good for humanity'[1]

The mininig industry has very deep pockets and huge influence on policy, so in turn other industries miss out.

It has been removed twice now!
dil8··on This is what a Tor Supporter looks like: Laura Poitras
It seems that over the last 5 years the number of exit nodes has remained relatively constant [1], I assume to the risks associated with running an exit node. What is Tor doing the increase number of exit nodes?

dil8··on Palestinian territories to get 3G in mid-2016
The title should be changed from 'Palestinian territories' to 'Palestine'.
dil8··on Google and ASUS Launch the $85 Chromebit, a Chrome OS Desktop on an HDMI Stick
Can I install Arch on this?
dil8··on Ethical Adblocking
Ethical adblocking = Blocking all ads
dil8··on Australian senate passes controversial anti-piracy, website-blocking laws
Yeah the situation is pretty bad. Recently the human rights commission released the report about the affects of detention on children. The government not only ignored it but went after the head of the commission and tried to force her to resign.

dil8··on Australian senate passes controversial anti-piracy, website-blocking laws
Mandatory data retention, website blocking... Things are defintely headed the wrong way in Oz
dil8··on Slur, a decentralized, anonymous, Bitcoin-based marketplace for information
I wish this was "Slur, a decentralized, anonymous repository for information".

Incentivising leakers to leak to agents with the most power and wealth does not make much sense.

dil8··on The Old Pirate Bay
This site is a clone of kickass.so, the search results, seeders, and leechers are identical.
dil8··on Swedish Police Raid the Pirate Bay, Site Offline
Cassettes were used to copy music in the past, are you saying that cassette manufacturers were committing a crime?
dil8··on Swedish Police Raid the Pirate Bay, Site Offline
I agree that we need an alternative where the artists can make a living and do their art, but I think trying to stop people doing what they feel is natural is not going to work.

To me it's very similar to the war on drugs... Policy and business models need to change. There are always people resistant to change as they want to protect their revenue streams.

I disagree...

Sharing has been part humanity since the dawn of the human race. It is just easier to share things with more people now.

dil8··on Ask HN: How or where to begin learning mathematics from first principles?
I have found the below links excellent pathways to mastering mathematics. I actually was in the same place as you and started with Spivak Calculus. Now I am back at school studying mathematics :P

Thanks for the info, I didn't know that.
dil8··on Rides of Glory – Uber Blog (2012)
Stuff like this is one of the many reasons I love archive.org. I think i's really important to capture historical artifacts for future analysis.

The service they provide doesn't allow the "Ministry of Truth"[1] to doctor historical documents to meet their present day narrative.
