I have the subjective impression that the rate at which interesting questions and answers are being posted on cstheory.stackexchange.com has decreased substantially over the last year or so. Does anybody else have this impression (maybe answer that in a comment)? Or even better, does anyone hav...
@EvilJS Yes, and I had really hard time aligning those dashes. I considered using code, but I have some math notations that will not appear in the code.
@emab nice! its helpful to link questions asking about in here. there is a fixed space code block feature/ fmt with scroll bar but yours actually looks nicer :)
The question Proof of correctness for the greedy solution of uva10249 The Grand Dinner is presently on hold. It is definitely not self contained, so I understand it needs editing.
My question concerns the remark by @Raphael: "It's inappropriate to outsource contest questions". Let me start by sa...
@vzn lately have been implementing all basic algorithms for MST - Kruskal, Prim etc. And trying to make dynamic solution for one question. And started "now is the time to use fuzzy logic for the image processing".
What about you? Any fancy projects, news, robots built?
@EvilJS lately banging hard on a GA for collatz, getting unusual/ notable results, not many lines (~½K lines) but very tricky/ delicate to debug, timeconsuming to run, etc... lots more info in my blog, continuing to write up intermediate results/ chgs etc, thx for asking
how does MST show up/ get applied in your research? "fuzzy logic," for OCR?
@overexchange awesome! great to hear! congratulations! we were mentioning you recently because EJS is not entirely liking his current environment/ locale either & youre working effectively towards a huge shift. did you line up a job already (re "interaction designer")?
@Raphael There is a new question about reccurence. (You have seen it 3 min ago). How exactly solving reccurence (when linear) by matrix multiplication looks like?
I have heard it several times, never actually done it or seen matrices to do so. Maybe it is so obvious, but until I read it, I would never thought about such operation...
@RickDecker hi, do you know something about solving reccurence relation by matrix multiplication? Sorry to bother, but you might know the magic behind such operation.
@Raphael I assume it is 50% yes + 50% of :-X which is more than 2% yes?
@EvilJS am applying some novel techniques, dont know if results are meaningful yet. they seem to have some effect but maybe not breakthru... surprise... still poking around as we speak...
@vzn very few people admit publicly that they do until they have full-blown results and in some cases they work around result to show that they did on their own, you'll never know the truth ;) it seems so much more awesome when you provide kick-ass proof on your own than by saying: I feeded tricky query to my automated proof maker and it solved it =^.^+
@overexchange I have read job offers for JS proficient programmers and Angular.js was in the majority treated as "good to know" or "needed".
@vzn anyway, like in TCS answer you got about primes and ML, you have to be careful, but please share.
@EvilJS there are lots of details in my recent blog(s). rather doubt that anybody publishes machine-discovered proofs as their own. does not really seem ethical...
have long thought this general area is ripe for a breakthru but havent been able to locate it myself yet :|
@vzn it is not ethical, it is just how the world works...
@overexchange Unless explicitly stated (2.0) the most offers were vague "Excellent experience with Angular JS".
@overexchange I am looking at job offer in Ontario posted yesterday "[...] They will have at least 2-3 years experience in UI programming / Web Design development using HTML5 / CSS3 / AngularJS / Bootstrap [...]"
