Quote of the day
Crowdsourcing is like MapReduce: Split, parallel process, aggregate. Mechanical Turk does the Map. Need better Reduce and a Pig-like language on top.
Just Dance - Gary Go feat. Mr. Dialysis (Lady Gaga Cover) (via denversc17)
A totally awesome find via Andrew Polins.
Tom Hodge - Aerodynamic
Who knew Daft Punk could sound like this?
Last one for the evening.
UPDATE: To appreciate the arrangement, you should probably check out the original version of this song if you’re not familiar with Daft Punk.
kids in technicolour - coldplay vs. mgmt. vs. daft punk (knights remix)
Another pretty awesome mashup.

Elements of Statistical Learning (New Edition) now online for free
Holy crap. This is awesome. Profs Hastie, Friedman and Tibshirani have put the new (2009) version of their definitive text, Elements of Statistical Learning, online for free. At 700+ pages (and a lot of megabytes), its still far easier to use the paper copy. Hopefully something will appear in Google Books soon.
