This was a really good read, although it did come off as a bit 'over positive' towards Elon & Tesla.

Thanks for introducing me to waitbutwhy.com I like the concept but I've not seen it before.

Well, Elon Musk is a very polarizing figure (for good and for bad reasons). I believe that he truly wants to save Earth and humanity, and that his ultimate motives are altruistic to the point of fanatism. Tim's article doesn't deal with the way he treats subordinates or his other character flaws, although I'm not sure whether the article would have been the right place for this criticism. What negative aspects of Elon and Tesla did you miss?

Tim Urban is an incredibly insightful writer, and I'm really glad I found this website. His series on procrastination [1] helped my productivity immensely.

This sounds like just what you're after for a N-minute workout

Has anyone here read this book? Does it come recommended?

Same here, I'd be interested if anyone knows of a good machine learning / AI "cookbook" (to borrow O'Reilly book's metaphor), in Python.

You may try Programming Collective Intelligence if you haven't already (it's actually a O'Reilly book ;).

Reminds me of Polymorph - looks like useful stuff to have around the place. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfcBWnOqr6s

Has anyone got this working on Windows?

I am considering giving it a try under Cygwin. If you get there first, please, tell us.

I did try under cygwin, and failed with errors in llvm. Will let you know if there's any more progress though.

I don't know if I've never tried, or never found it easy enough, but this is the first time I've found Emacs useful for Python on Windows - appreciated for that even if I never use Clojure!
