Making your work accessible
A lot of ideas Inspired from this webpage: My research results should be accessible to the public on a nice web interface
Websites are the most accessible. Downloading an app is also good. Python packages are annoying.
“I could easily send experiments to other researchers to get their opinion without asking them to install lots of Python packages, which often gets complicated.”
I showcase some of these websites in Cool Websites.
Other Personal Thoughts
The only reason Computer Science seems easier than Mechanical Engineering is because there are more resources, and more people working on it.
People wrote Abstractions so that you can go from binary code to entire software programs. There are things that are pretty complicated such as the Abstractions so that you can go from binary code to entire software programs. There are things that are pretty complicated such as the CYK Parser (I forgot the name of the more advanced one).
- But practically, you don’t need to understand any of that.
Working on a CFR Algorithm is really hard right now because there are no libraries that already implement the algorithm. There are no Tensorflow or PyTorch or NumPy to do it.
Similarly, if you didn’t have Tensorflow or PyTorch or NumPy, it would be equally, if not even more hard to build a neural network.
It feels wrong, however, to write code where people already have a solution to. Like it has been done before. You want to be a pioneer, not someone who just copies. But to innovate, you .
