✡️ Today's Jew of the Day is Marvin Minsky!
Marvin Minsky was one of the most important people in the area of computer sceince, and especially AI. It's diffcicult to summarize just how critical Minksy was other than to say he invented head mounted graphical displays (VR Headsets), he built first neural network using special hardware called "perceptrons", which is important not only for AI, but specifically visual AI used in applications such as self-driving cars, as well as the field of analog computing. His AI theory, called "The Society of Mind", is not only useful in exploring concepts of AI, but of all cognitive processes.
Much of Minsky's career was at MIT, where he worked for 58 years. Aside from his work in AI, Minsky is one of the founders of the MIT Media Lab, which itself has contributed to many new advances in human-computer interactions.

Half of the tutorial is hands-on coding by the participants, which means we can't cram everything worth knowing about the library in the tutorial.

Reproducibility in science is weird for me.
Like, in physics, to create high energy particle collision, you do need to spend a bit of money on fiddly machines.
But in CS, half of our "science" is more like math and the other half should be as simple as "run this on your machine, eh?", and yet it most assuredly isn't.
Basically, I guess I'm saying that it's odd to me the incentives and tech debt that lead to reproducibility not being easy in CS.
I guess I'm coming around to "good software engineering is good science" -- maintainability of code as reproducibility. I don't know.
@JustCodeCulture @histodons Are there any photos from later decades with women #SysAdmin at university computing facilities? Particularly before the mid-80s gender reorientation in #ComputerScience recruiting strategies.
It will take a bit to get used to the keyboard but maybe I'll carry the #PinePhonePro with me to work and elseware to work on documentation for my courses. It's nice and light... won't hurt my back to lug around. But I just need these basics... text editors, g++ or codeblocks, everything I'd need is right here, except for being able to create drawings very easily. :P

I made a video to help explain how to play #b001e0: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY7Kxq_VOqI
This is a fun game you can play to practice your knowledge of basic #logicGates. There is a bit of strategy involved, but it doesn't lend an overwhelming advantage to whoever employs it, so anyone can win the games.
I think one of my goals for this semester is to just... teach about humanity. Not just talking about #ComputerScience in a vacuum, but also bringing in the way technology connects to humans and highlighting the things I love about how humans create culture and language and such. Also bring in more with ethics in different areas, like talking about Dark Patterns this week, talking about exploitation in software design.

Starting off my grading for the week by looking at the weekly check-in assignments where students tell me how it's going and if there's anything I can be doing differently, what's going well, etc. #ComputerScience #Education

Been toying around with a little bit of F# lately. It's giving me memories of programming in Standard ML at the start of my CS degree, many years ago! They were really onto something starting everyone off with functional programming - years before it was cool 😉

So in my #ComputerScience C++ programming courses, I have the following kind of content:
* Reading material (the "textbook", which are my notes)
* Video lectures
* Example coding
* Concept Introduction quizzes (read to learn, plus quiz questions to review what you just read)
* Exercises (smaller programming lab style things)
* Notes Q&A (you should be able to answer all these questions on the topic)
* Projects (big programming assignments)
* Exams (concepts and some coding for assessment) --
I did make a few "C++ in 60 seconds" video this past work week. It's all very basic stuff, but I'll hopefully make more next week:
* main(): https://youtube.com/shorts/ScaOW_f2Ig0

#ComputerScience #Education and tagging @kojack for maybe some critique. 👼 ❤️
At some point, we all realize Bowker and Star wrote everything there was to know about Computer Science.
They just sorted it out.
Randomly thinking about #bikeshedding when #programming the size if a #filesize #integer in a #FileFormat, though I guess it could be used for any #DataStructures in #ComputerScience.
If you know how big the largest number you're going to have to keep track of is, you can cut down on the size of the integer by choosing a number of bits that's just big enough to fit that... But there are ways you can get really screwy with this.
For example, you could choose a number that isn't the standard 8, 16, 32, 64 by going above that and using the extra bits as flags or something, like making it 24-bit and using the last 8 bits as another byte. Or you could lower the granularity, and multiply the value of whatever the number is to get bigger numbers at the expense of numbers not divisible by that.
The issue with thinking of this however is that we are talking a handful of bytes in what could be megabytes, so less than 0.1% of the byte size...

Very tentative steps to #decolonize #computerscience have inevitably been met with attacks in our right wing press.
What could computing have to do with colonialism, both in its legacy and as it still exists today? Off the top of my head, here are some very material, empirical questions which I think CS undergraduates should and would be interested in finding answers to:
When studying the history of video games, we often find ourselves needing to imagine and reconstruct the computing landscape of various decades throughout the 20th Century.
We encounter fragments of computing history since games were always present somewhere (at least that's what Steven Levy says in his book Hackers, and in my experience it often turns to be true).
Well, I'm always a bit overwhelmed when I think of the 1976 Los Alamos Conference's 21 recorded talks recently put online: https://computerhistory.org/blog/computings-woodstock/
Were there games on these early computing machines, across different countries? We know of a few, but how many are we missing? And will we find them one day?
Have student introductions on a discussion board, and I have lots of returning students. One student added this in her intro:
"I love Rachel and their methodology for opening the door for everyone in coding."

Hi, I thought I would write an #introduction here. I'm 22 currently going to school hoping to get an associates in #computerscience. (I literally know nothing about it and I'm taking a Java class in august so please if you have tips and tricks let me know). If this plan for computer science falls through I think I am going to change my major to anthropology/archaeology. I have two cats (children) I read and watch many different shows in my free time. I am also on a #weightloss journey.
I show examples on
- how to create docstrings from code bodies and vice versa,
- that LLMs help to understand "econometric code" and
- improve naming of functions and variables, and
- are useful for code refactoring, too.

Hi everyone!
I can't remember if I ever did one of these posts, so here's my belated #introduction!
I'm monandd (he / him pronouns), a Latinx, gay software engineer currently based in Canada who speaks Spanish and English (and a liiittle bit of Italian and French).
As you can tell from my pfp, I'm a #furry and my main interest within the fandom is reading visual novels such as the Echo project ones.
Some of my interests include #computerscience, #mathematics, #philosophy, #literature through reading and writing poetry and short fiction, playing #videogames such as #pokemon and #fortnite, and generally geeky stuff and being a nerd!
I'm currently in the software engineering industry but I've also been involved in #academia previously, and am sure my path will take me there again at some point.
Thanks for reading if you're still around, feel free to follow me and/or interact, and hopefully we can be friends! :-)
#TIL about the #HyperLogLog algorithm and I think it's a damn brilliant way to estimate the number of unique elements of a potentially gargantuan set of items and only running in O(n) time and O(1) space. The fact that variants of the algorithm can be done in parallel makes it even more awesome!

Beating neural approaches to sentence classification for out-of-domain datasets with ... nearest neighbour over *gzip* (finding the ratio between the compressed size of the documents combined vs. smallest compressed size of the inputs being compared).
This is both hilariously simple, and somewhat damning of how the other methods do in this context.
![Screenshot of a tweet by Riley Goodside @goodside
4h
this is wild — kNN using a gzip-based distance metric outperforms BERT and other neural methods for OOD sentence classification
intuition: 2 texts similar if cat-ing one to the other barely increases gzip size
no training, no tuning, no params — this is the entire algorithm:
Image w/Python code from tweet:
for (x1, _) in test_set:
Cx1 = len(gzip.compress(x1.encode()))
distance_from_x1 = []
for (x2, _) in training_set:
Cx2 = len(gzip.compress(x2. encode())
x1x2 = " ".join([x1, x2])
Cx1x2 = len(gzip.compress(x1x2. encode())
ncd = (Cx1x2 - min(Cx1,Cx2)) / max(Cx1, Cx2)
distance_from_x1.append(ncd)

Just moved from tech.lgbt to blahaj.zone. So, since, I'm new here, a little bit about myself:
1. I'm a trans woman (she/her/hers) and lesbian.
2. I'm currently a #computerscience major at California State University, Fullerton, and have an associate's degree in computer science from Cerritos College.
3. My focus is on systems programming, and I primarily work in Rust, Python, and C (in that order).
4. I'm excited to meet all of you!
