I have always stayed away from additional software for bibliography management for similar reasons that the authors cites. However, while I do not use Zotero the software, their ZoteroBib (https://zbib.org/) has been a huge time saver. No login or account needed; just copy the URL or DOI and it generates the BibTeX entry. I find it far more accurate than Google Scholar.

Great visualizations. Really enjoyed having a well-written example where mathematical proofs directly help with understanding a practical application.

I wonder what would happen with this analysis if a momentum term was added to the gradient descent. It seems that it would fix the specific failure modes in the examples, but I wonder if there's a corresponding mathematical way of categorizing what kinds of functions can(not) be quickly optimized with GD + momentum.

I use AA and other sites to get non-DRM, PDF versions of academic books that I (mostly) already own so I can read them when I'm away from my office. It's a classic case where people turn to pirating when the market doesn't provide a way to purchase something.

Same thing with movies. Ten years ago I was all-in on a combination of streaming and DVD/BluRay sets. The market has completely collapsed for me with region locking and overly aggressive DRM. So, I've started pirating those again as well when it's not possible to get through another route.
