Re:Ask HN: Good Online Maths Communities? on Tuesday October 08, 2024 @05:23AM (#41775319)
While not a community itself, Terence Tao's blog (https://terrytao.wordpress.com/) is a good source of high quality, clearly explained maths. As you may know, he has a very broad range of interests, and there might be something for you to pick up and get involved in. He has also been involved in several collaborative math communities, which he writes about at length in his blog. I recall Polymath project and recently some project involving Lean Theorem Prover that even showed up on the first page of the HN.

Does someone know why the bright stars in the image do not show the hexagonal pattern that is present in published images of Webb?

+1!! This may sound weird, but I can use this as a mood booster when life gets tough. Side note: I might be biased because I also find it useful to think about the vastness space to trick my brain falling asleep (I watch a lot of video astronomy videos).

The point Julia makes about `grep` resonate with me alot! I have the same (call it problem if you want) issue with `ps`. There is only one variation of ps I know of (`ps aux`) and if I want to change that I have to either look for the options in the man page or google it.
Re:Nvidia prepares to abandon $40B Arm bid on Tuesday January 25, 2022 @07:35AM (#30071088)
Does anyone know why they decided to go for buying Arm in the first place? If they needed tight integration with their GPUs and wanted to move away from x-86, can't they come up with Arm-based solutions like Apple did?

Ask HN: Resources for understanding of the Tensorflow code?

Posted by syadegari on Saturday November 24, 2018 @05:33PM
from the ask-hn dept.

After reading the Tensorflow white-paper (http://download.tensorflow.org/paper/whitepaper2015.pdf), I realized that I lack understanding of the many topics discussed in the paper. Examples of this include Cross-Device and Multi-Device Communication, Graph Partitioning, Partial Executions and Device Constraints and Optimization (most of section 5 subsections). I want to invest in resources, like...

Re:Ask HN: Research topics at the intersection of topology and compute... on Monday March 07, 2016 @05:28PM (#11242271)
Thanks for mentioning the paper, this comes close to one of my topics of interest, spectral graph theory. Although quite an interesting subject (I can see myself easily being drawn to the subject), I wonder if there has been any attempts to understand or study the topological structure at the heart of algorithms that are used for learning or natural language processing/parsing. I am quite curious and eager about these methods so if you happen to know of a paper or reference please let me know.

Ask HN: Research topics at the intersection of topology and computer science

Posted by syadegari on Wednesday March 02, 2016 @06:00PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I am interested in research topics at the intersection of topology/geometry and computer science. My previous line of research has been focused on numerical methods with application to mechanical engineering problems (Using methods such as Finite Element and Finite Difference). After working for two and half years in industry and being exposed to new computational problems (often with their...

For more than one shell buffer you can also do C-u M-x shell and then press enter (for the default buffer name) if you can live with shell-2, shell-3, etc. for your shell buffers' names. Saves the time for renaming.
