    Truly one of the great python programming books. The one thing that I found missing was the lack of static typing in the code, but that was a deliberate decision by the authors.

    While I don't have firsthand experience with these models, I recently discussed this topic with a friend who has used tree-based models like XGBoost for time series analysis. They …

    Came here to point this out. Silo never had to invest huge amounts on GPUs. A shrewd move by the founders.

    When was this? I might go chasing this lead down, but even a fuzzy estimation of when would help. Will come link it here if I find it.
