I've done some things with Svelte motion, such as tweened / spring [0]. This gradient descent visualizer is made with it for example [1] to interpolate the points when the predicti…

Indeed. There is much controversy about this way of thinking, and about the methodology. See for instance [0] [0] https://www.jasonhickel.org/blog/2019/3/17/two-hump-world

Ah indeed, I mixed up his name with the Shalev part of the name of the other author.

I really enjoyed Ben-David (and Shalev-Schwartz)'s book "Understanding machine learning". It's essentially about theory though, not "learn all about machine learning in torchsorflo…

I am currently going through Statistical Rethinking [0], by R. McElreath. So far it's been great, all the code example and practice problems help comprehension. I've also heard goo…

I would not consider your view of the problem as "leftist". I'm not challenging your self-designation, but the way you present the situation. In my opinion, there are a few points …

It makes me think of Voyager [1][2], based on Vega and Vega-lite, that leverage a grammar of graphics. A neat trick you can do in Julia is use it interactively to generate plot spe…

Bayesian approaches are gaining momentum in cognitive sciences. See for instance "The Bayesian brain" article by Knoll and Pouget. There is also Cox's theorem, that essentially sta…

By definition: p(A|B) = p(A,B) / p(B) (1) With the same definition, switching A and B roles, we have p(A, B) = p(B|A) p(A) (2) Plug (2) into (1) and you have Bayes rule.

Such an amazing talk ! Someone linked to this on HN a while back, this allowed me to discover David Beazley. I then got the Python Cookbook, and watched a bunch of other very cool …

I took watched some of the lectures and did a few exercises when I had a similar course at University, it was great indeed.

> They're entirely ill-suited for mobility though. I am a happy owner of a Microsoft Sculpt keyboard and mouse, and it is quite mobile. It has a built-in wrist rest as well.

There is a fairly interesting library developed by the Stanford Team behind https://www.snorkel.org/ that takes structured documents, including PDF formatted as tables, and builds …

You should check out click : https://click.palletsprojects.com/en/7.x/ It is very powerful, uses special files stdin/stdout when file argument is "-", supports groups, subcommands.…
