Rather than a new thread each time we find something informative and interesting and worth sharing, I thought it might be worth having a single thread for primers and educational material. (A bit like the Interesting Projects, Links & Inspiration thread.)
Let me kick off with a couple of findings:
On Extreme UV lithography, needed for the most critical layers in the most advanced integrated circuits, where you need a hard vacuum, a powerful laser, lots of mirrors, lots of cooling, and a 100mph stream of droplets of molten tin:
This isn’t quite an explainer, but it’s a curated list of 20 recent Machine Learning papers: AI Papers to Read in 2020
Although most papers I listed deal with image and text, many of their concepts are fairly input agnostic and provide insight far beyond vision and language tasks. Alongside each suggestion, I listed some of the reasons I believe you should read (or re-read) the paper and added some further readings, in case you want to dive a bit deeper into a given subject.
May this is a primer thing: assembly code, and the boot process of the humble PC, and some in-browser emulation so you can tweak your assembly code and see the results without a computer (and without an OS either - this is boot sector coding):
