Since Egyptian authorities blocked access to our website in May 2017, we've circumvented the block and made mirrors for the site. But each one we made would eventually be blocked. That’s why we've made a new mirror on the Tor network that can’t be blocked

I’ve been taking the holiday as an opportunity to return to my effect system experiments! I’ve been playing with a different approach based on an implementation of delimited control using “metacontinuations.” Lots of interesting tradeoffs, but I like what I’ve been seeing so far!

The main reason why FP is taking time to become mainstream is the unnecessary complexities often introduced by many of its evangelists. Special jargon and fancy operators are mostly used to show off cleverness. If you're a FP genius you will be able to explain it in simple words

What's deep learning? The "common usage" definition as of 2019 would be "chains of differentiable parametric layers trained end-to-end with backprop". But this definition seems overly restrictive to me. It describes *how we do DL today*, not *what it is*

So, "deep learning" is the idea of doing representation learning via a chain of learned feature extractors. It's all about describing some input data via *deep hierarchies of features*, where features are *learned*. A further question is then: is the brain "deep learning"?
