What if You Only Invested at Market Peaks?
Meet Bob. Bob is the world’s worst market timer. What follows is Bob’s tale of terrible timing of his stock purchases.
But what is the Fourier Transform? A visual introduction.
An animated introduction to the Fourier Transform, winding graphs around circles.
Feature Visualization
How neural networks build up their understanding of images. Feature visualization allows us to see how GoogLeNet, trained on the ImageNet dataset, builds up its understanding of images over many layers. Visualizations of all channel are available in the appendix.

How secure is 256 bit security?
How hard is it to find a 256-bit hash just by guessing and checking? What kind of computer would that take?
SVG can do THAT?!

Why Momentum Really Works
We often think of Momentum as a means of dampening oscillations and speeding up the iterations, leading to faster convergence. But it has other interesting behavior. It allows a larger range of step-sizes to be used, and creates its own oscillations. What is going on?
The True Size Of…
Every map projection introduces distortion, and each has its own set of problems. One of the most common criticisms of the Mercator map is that it exaggerates the size of countries nearer the poles (US, Russia, Europe), while downplaying the size of those near the equator (the African Continent).

How to Use t-SNE Effectively
Although extremely useful for visualizing high-dimensional data, t-SNE plots can sometimes be mysterious or misleading. By exploring how it behaves in simple cases, we can learn to use it more effectively.
