If you want to guest post, you are always welcome. Though I think you'd have to post in English.

To help me compose it: What would you like to know?

Expand full comment

- who came up with it and when, and what problem was it originally designed to solve?

- what makes it ~ cool ~?

- when/why did it become popular, both theory/practice?

- what/if any are the applications it's best suited for now?

- should we still teach it, and if so, what takeaways are most important for students? (e.g. in my undergrad ML course, which i also TA'd, i remember making a big deal out of "the kernel trick," but also like, I don't think I ever really understood "so what?")
