      I decided to solve FizzBuzz like a mathematician would aka the most obnoxious way I could imagine. This is my gift to you.https://gist.github.com/Gorcenski/f03c834696cb94768561283cfb9b82b2 …

      You could say this solution is very *convoluted*

      Hot take: FizzBuzz is a perfectly suitable test problem for when you’re want to test a new configuration and need a non-trivial but simple exercise to ensure things like imports, outputs, args, etc are working. It’s still shit for interviews

          It’s easy to test against, it pretty quickly shows if you have e.g. a configuration issue, and creative solutions are good mental exercises in otherwise tedious work

          But what’s relevant here is that there are a few concepts that are used widely in data science and it brings them from an abstract notion to something concrete. In this case, cyclic behavior has a natural relation to polynomials and to 1D vector convolutions.

          1-D convolutions neural networks use such convolutions, and they’re being used for text process and other applications where recurrent neural nets have found some success. The underlying relations become a little more clear when you see it in this light.

          And if you take it a step further and recognize that discrete convolutions are related to joint probability distribution functions, then all of a sudden the probabilistic nature of how neural networks work emerges like truth from the well.

          The "shit" part is one of those "it depends" things. We use exercises at this level to explore a candidate's thought process for emerging a design via microtests. We go slow with a lot of interaction to discuss design choices. We want a simple problem that won't be a distraction.

          And based on your thread, my guess is it would be a lot of fun to work with you.

          I like it for trying out new languages, esp when trying to learn best way for that language to do things

          Interview: Please use a ML package of your choice and teach it to recognize a correct fizzbuzz algorithm with 90% success rate. Muhahahahaha... You have 10 minutes.
