A Random Walk Street by Burton Malkiel. Very easy to understand and entertaining to read too. The book is basically divided into 2 parts, the 1st about the arguments for market efficiency, and 2nd about practical steps in investing considering the conditions explained in part 1. In it the author argued that there is very little chance for anyone to systematically beat the market, and so the best way to make money in the stock market (in the long run) is by following the market (e.g. by buying an index fund).

Just like what Ralph Waldo Emerson said: "I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me."

The YouTube channel Every Frame a Painting talked about the usage of temp music in movies on one of its video, titled Marvel Symphonic Universe:

I can confirm that Vim shows the hidden characters as question mark.

Don't you think that by limiting foreign companies' products the local companies would operate less efficiently since there is no competition? I think I was taught about this in my econ 101 class. Why does it work differently this time?

Also equally important and related to the article is messages on exceptions raised by libraries used by developers. I think this is one of the primary reasons why I found some Python's open sourced libraries like Numpy or Pandas easy to learn. Most of the messages when an exception is raised are specific and helpful in helping me fixing the error.

christmas, probably

You missed the point.. I think the traffic sign captchas are actually used to train machine learning models.

His Ph.D. thesis is also relatively short (just 28 pages):

There's this plugin [0] that will not allow you to navigate the file by smashing the keyboard. Essentially what the plugin does is disable the hjkl and the arrow keys for 1 second after you type one of said keys. There's also the extreme version of this plugin [1] which will disable the hjkl and other similar keys entirely.

I think what you're looking for is Ctrl+O, which allows you to exit insert mode, insert ONE command only (e.g. 4k), and immediately enter the insert mode again

This is amazing. I especially like how the result can somewhat be interpreted by showing from what image the part of the generated image is copied (see Figure 5).

"nulis" also means "write" in Indonesian

Some people (like me) use Windows. PyTorch is not supported by Windows currently.

I am also interested in etymology. For those who don't know you can type in "define xxx" on Google and get the etymology tree for word/phrase xxx.

It is remarkable how easy it is to find out an English word's etymology, which is very hard if not impossible in most other languages.

Also, the name "ampersand" was from the phrase "and per se."

From the article How to Read Mathematics [0], that kind of statement "is a signal to the reader that what's involved here is perhaps tedious and even difficult, but involves no deep insights."

A more interesting problem would be to train an n x n sudoku and test the model on an m x m sudoku where m < n, or even m > n. Does it make sense?

edit: formatting

The question should be "how effective is it" not whether you can or not. Sure you can read a lot of programming resources using your phone and perhaps even write and run some programs, but it would not be as effective as practicing it on computer.

This blog inspired me to hunt for some obscure machine learning papers from 80s and 90s that I may replicate and improve. Any idea where to start?

Dan Shiffman created a Youtube playlist titled "Intelligence and Learning", which might be a good place to start.

This is the link to his channel https://www.youtube.com/user/shiffman

Very interesting. I have a few questions:

What challenges did you encountered the most when teaching kids to code?

Do you have any suggestion on how to teach coding to kids from non-english-speaking countries? I think it would be much more challenging since most programming languages are written in english, and these kids are not fluent in english. Or, is it better if I write a new programming language using my native language?

> While the study had a large margin of error, the simulations suggest there is only a two percent probability that the Cold Spot formed randomly

I'm not an expert at astronomy, but a 2% chance of something occuring in the universe seems to be a pretty big probability. Also, what does it means for two universes to "collide" with each other?
