Also anything about type | systems. | rectang wrote: | The thing about a lot of these classic papers is that they are | often not very easy to digest compared with modern retellings of | their subject matter. They typically represent the genesis of an | idea that became influential and has since been popularized. | | Even if the paper's authors are gifted writers (which isn't | common), these papers represent early iterations of the | presentation of an idea. Later, people who specialize in writing | will come along and refine the presentation. | geophile wrote: | The Mythical Man Month?!?! That is not computer science. | [deleted] | the_third_wave wrote: | I tried feeding the DOIs to Sci-Hub but unfortunately they don't | have these documents yet. If anyone here has access may I suggest | submitting them to Sci-Hub or Library Genesis? It is, after all, | a bit odd to see papers like "Prior Analytics (~350 BCE)" and | "The True Method (1677)" hidden behind a paywall. | hdjjhhvvhga wrote: | The individual papers are not, but the book itself is already | in Libgen. | deepakkarki wrote: | The classics should be available outside of scihub! | | For example, Prior Analytics | http://classics.mit.edu/Aristotle/prior.html | | Most famous papers are available via Google scholar! | _Algernon_ wrote: | I believe if you search the title ("Ideas That Created the | Future") of the book, you can find it on library genesis. If | anyone asks, you didn't hear it from me. | daturkel wrote: | I created a Github repo that tracks "classic papers" of machine | learning that folks on HN have enjoyed in the past. Feel free to | make a PR if you think I'm missing something good. | | https://github.com/daturkel/learning-papers | waynesonfire wrote: | All inaccessible without signing up. Click bait. How is human | knowledge like this not freely distributed? | [deleted] | Jtsummers wrote: | If you don't want to sign up or pay for this particular source, | you can use your favorite search engine, enter in the title | from the papers, and find all of them online for free. | | I'd also wager that, like the book these come from, the PDFs | linked here are edited (some for conforming to modern notation, | others for fitting into the book itself) versions of the | papers. If you use a search engine and find the actual papers, | you can find the unedited versions. | [deleted] | _Algernon_ wrote: | It is distributed freely, though perhaps not legally. Check out | library genesis. | mhh__ wrote: | I think my inaugural blogpost/website entry will be on the fun | I've been having reading old books and old papers. Some are long | gone for a reason but some have clearly been replaced for no | reason. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2022-05-13 23:00 UTC)
