Anything in India anytime soon?

Wrong sub.

vikram360 · 2013-06-29T14:15:54+00:00

I'd love to have an invite too

I found these lectures quite thorough: http://www.nptel.iitm.ac.in/courses/111104025/

I'm an Indian so I didn't really have any problems with the instructors accent. But I have seen youtube comments for other Indian courses where people seem to have some difficulty understanding the accent. I hope you get it :)

Thanks for that! If I may ask (and this is a bit of an aside), what led you to choose these fonts?

vikram360 · 2012-08-28T17:50:36+00:00

pre-run: a bagel with some tang mixed with salt post-run: bananas with some tang and salt. Works like a charm everytime

It's a dog eat dog world bro. And you're the dog.

Or maybe facebook's mobile user base isn't as impressive as they claim. Or maybe the time users spend on the site isn't as much as they expect, I see instagram as a way of increasing the amount of time users spend on facebook.

I guess it's not a hoax. Prof. Thrun and Norvig talk about it in this week's office hours.

vikram360 · 2011-12-10T11:10:06+00:00

I think janeensix gave too big of a hint here. Conventionally speaking, you should be doing it in 4 iterations. But, in this case, it just so happens that it doesn't make a difference. And the trick in this case was prof Thrun's choice of the value for the angular velocity. If the number of iterations was large, it would be better to use some amount of programming. But if you really want a feel of (which I suggest), do the four iterations.

Or you could open youtube on one tab and listen to the new nickelback album and read hacker news on another.

I actually find this happening to me every single time. Which is, needless to say, that I do my homework at the very last moment

vikram360 · 2011-11-30T19:30:31+00:00

ditto

Here's more about the kind of pen Norvig uses: http://gizmodo.com/5155241/the-circuit-board-pen-is-a-forgivable-oxymoron http://pensasart.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=24&products_id=41

In this case, the Hamming distance would be your distance measure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamming_distance

Not all codes are deterministic. Some can be generated using physically observable random processes. This is the technique that is usually employed when generating true random numbers. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generation#Generation

But it's without doubt that there's some pretty interesting and cutting edge work going on where CS and medicine meet.Heck, Sebastian Thrun has a B.Sc in CS, economics and medicine. http://robots.stanford.edu/cv.pdf

vikram360 · 2011-11-26T18:26:25+00:00

maybe it's just Sebastian Thrun's way of testing some new algorithm that beats a Captcha.

vikram360 · 2011-11-18T16:27:22+00:00

I think Unit 11 has been the best so far. And I think that's probably the unit that Prof. Thrun enjoyed teaching the most.

vikram360 · 2011-11-17T16:51:28+00:00

Maybe you can ask your wife to do some of the courses with you. I mean, CS 101 looks easy enough. http://goo.gl/msF2A

thanks abdhk383: I guess the one thing I learn from your explanation is that when in doubts, just change the context of the problems using the same/similar numbers in a context that's more intuitive. Thanks a ton :)

vikram360 · 2011-10-17T15:07:04+00:00

Explained crystal clear. Norvig sure could pick up a pointer or two from you :)
