Really sorry to hear that. I understood patenting can be a pain and takes an inventor to get it done, but it seems like the thieves are more interested in getting patented than the inventors themselves.
I guess the best thing for you to do it in such a situation is to open source it so the whole community can benefit from it, not just one big evil company that steals ideas. At least you'd go down as a hero.
This is definitely one of the best responses I've read on HN. I agree with this - "try not to take it personally and think any less of yourself. Failing an interview isn't necessarily your failure, it could be the ones who interviewed you that failed. "
True, but the proofs themselves are very much explained with mathematical notations. Personally, for me, It's been over 5 years since I left college and solved any math problems. I don't remember what the symbols mean anymore.
I've to constantly keep googling what the symbols mean and takes a lot of time, turns discouraging to keep going through the material. So there's a deeper study going on in there just to understand, say- what an asymptotic notation means in the algorithmic world.
I definitely would love to dive deep into math since it is the foundation of algorithms, but it's good to have source material with beginner exercises. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong places...
I agree with your point, taking the proof as exercises will make things challenging for you.
Lots of Algorithm books I've come across do not have a lot of exercises and focus heavily on proofs. It's great to see that this book does have a lot of exercises.
Been suffering since the last 10 years, for me it's the bright sunlight during the summer accompanied by humid weather conditions(most of the times), I prefer staying in the dark, I love dark rooms for some reason. Makes me feel like a nocturnal.
It's not exactly about distrust, it's just clash of interests. Microsoft is literally personification of Closed-source software, them acquiring GitHub is surely an evil plan to take control over the open source area.
True, it's a union of all these different fields coming together, might not be the best AI toy out there, but it's definitely something we can buy for a reasonable price. Imagine the kids growing up with such toys, they know how machines learn, it becomes part of their growing up process..
