risubramanian··on Rents are dropping across the US
In many parts of the country, heating plays a large role as well. Heating 100 units in an apartment building is going to be more efficient than heating 100 single family houses.
risubramanian··on Symbolic mathematics finally yields to neural networks
Premkumar Devanbu at UC Davis works in this area. I've taken his graduate course on the subject.

risubramanian··on Deep learning may need a new programming language
I wonder what he thinks about Julia. There are lots of projects to turn it into an "ML language".
risubramanian··on The memory safety problem isn't bad coders
