Fun fact: this pdf was paywalled, but thanks to some generous members of my Twitter, it was able to be freed. I look forward to a day when all such work is available to anyone who wants it.

Normally I’d have something else to add, but I feel down lately, and it’s nice to see that I’m able to help with one or two things that matter.

I was mostly surprised that the paywall model still persisted in 2021.

To be clear visiting the posted link to "gwern.net" does not ask for pay to view the pdf.

Yeah, sorry for the confusion. I asked gwern to mirror the liberated pdf, since his /docs/ folder will probably be around a lot longer than me. https://www.gwern.net/docs/index There's a lot of neat stuff in there.

By the way, if any of you happen to run into paywalled pdfs, try posting the paywall link to https://reddit.com/r/scholar. It's surprising how often (and how quickly) that gets you the pdf.
