Why not ML? Our programming languages course had a unit in ML and the transfer to Haskell after that was not trivial but still a smooth learning curve -- I could read not just getting-start or for-beginner guides.

Would the Amazon turk population, which ive been told is dominated by non-native english speaking users, skew results in an interesting way? Also, in my experience, my most intense visual images are far more overwhelming than what I would p

Mining canonical papers/text to generate standardized tests (SAT/GRE) might be a further step. My guess is that both tests and commercial prep-material are produced by committee.

Any proofs, reference papers, visuals showing the experimental runs? I've dug around the databases department at my uni and I've heard this exact application of ML to query optimization floating around, but never anything substant

Is there a more detailed paper describing the algorithm? The description is very vague in the article. When they pick the two points, is there an evaluation on how much "diversity" increases w/r/t each of the three possi

I don't necessarily sympathize with postmodern studies as much as you, but threads like this really don't contribute much to HN and should be more tiresome for people across the board. We should recognize it for the flame-war that

I used this to teach myself to code for the first time. It felt very natural just exploring and getting immediate visual feedback with the images I generated. I still use it to generate my desktop background images.

I'm 17 and started teaching myself Python last year when they told me the course at my school was cancelled since only 5 people enrolled. I was incredibly disappointed. I wanted to learn programming because I love computers (of course), but
