How to program III

oops, I did it again.

Another writing for HN Chuddies

Classy principle-guided online learning.

oops, I did it again.

Yet another article for HN Chuds

Let some HN Chuds read this.

Hold it without an effort, and it will come to you without an end.

There is an inportant subtlety when on is trying to interpret what a Neural Network actually does – each neuron, it seems, gets activated on a different set of inputs which corresponds to very different set of features.

No, there is no hyper-sheres in the Universe, sorry, Chuds.

A small disclaimer: I’ve lived in India for a few years, I have some good friends there and I think I begin to really understand the some cultural aspects which govern this vastly complex and spontaneous society.

A breadth-first search for "enlightenment".

Special concern for precise definitions, clarity and brevity (omitting of what is clear from the context), high level of abstraction, and proper generality (just like Sets or Numbers).

These are just assorted notes for now, which shall become something ready to be formalized.

I has been struggling with this very annoying bug when code blocks in the org mode are messed up badly when the global-whitespace-mode is enabled.

The skill beats luck - fortune favors the prepared.

The ~org-mode~ package is abused and misused in so many ways, that it can be seen as a distinct psychological phenomena in itself.
