The paragraph was a chronological account of when techniques were introduced with accompanying citations. The 1998 paper in the preceding sentence would lead the reader to believe that low discrepancy sampling came after the robust sampling

I'm sorry you took such offence to my comment. I guess I should have quoted the statement that I was replying to within the overview section: "Recently, the use of low discrepancy sampling [Jarosz et al. 2019] and tillable blue no

Shirley published a paper in 1991 showing that low discrepancy samplers worked well in a ray-tracing context. So I wouldn't say that's particularly new.

Now subtract 3 (or 6) percent to account for what money does under inflation (or market growth). If you don't geometric average a growth that outpaces at least 3%, you are working for less than you were when you started. If it's

By Ctrl+F'ing, I find 5 mentions of the word "master", none of which are the master theorem. I prefer this to CLRS as, while it's a neat trick, it tends to result in a bunch of people memorising the cases (and taking a &

I agree as well. Maybe it serves to alert the reader to when they are missing a piece of prerequisite knowledge, but there are ways to do this that don't create as much friction.

This has always bugged me: what reasons outside of convention do we have for preferring O(V + E) to O(E) on algorithms that only make sense in the context of a single connected component? I know this is slightly OT, but tangentially related

I think that the distinction that dustingetz was trying to make is related to the fact that trees are graphs. Many applications naively nest data in tree structures with links from nodes to other nodes that are implied by the data. Maps are

They are in the units "greenhouse gas emissions" which corrects for the extra potency. The sad thing is that people often double-correct for such things.

Could someone explain what differentiates the Google Knowledge Graph from a Markov Logic Network implementation? Is that what it is? For reference: https://sites.google.com/site/slgworkshop2013/accepted_paper...

I'm pretty sure that Quadratic Voting is a way to assign prices to votes, whereas this theorem is about the features of a system in which the results are determined by vote. So the results of quadratic voting will meet this criteria be

Oh god why? I thought this was going to be something cool like something to filter nude image submissions with ML or something along those lines. But No. It had to be this.

I don't want to come down on you because I too dream big, but having a goal without knowing at least vaguely how to accomplish it is stupid. It's this kind of "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" mentality that fails a lot of otherwise tal

As a user, I can say that I do not like social login. Also, page views is meaningless as is number of mins spent on your site.

The website is a little bit of an eyesore for me. First you've got the low-res white noise background. Then the looming semi-translucent navigation bar that goes behind embedded youtube videos. Then the egregious usage of drop shadows. And

I have to stop reading these medium.com articles. They are making me deeply saddened, are sapping away my time and energy in minute quantities, and are probably decreasing my peak intelligence/output.

I found this honestly repulsive. It's one thing to shun those who would steer someone away from what feels natural, and it's another to offer life advice based on what one perceives to be the norm. Just because you got hitched early doesn't
