    The author miss-understands how simulated data is created by GANS, VAEs, and other non-physics based simulations. Let's say you have a dataset and would like to create synthetic da…

    We'd all be happier writing math; writing code is just a nuisance.

    It's just about package support and the community. If researchers and practitioners were choosing a language based on merit alone it would probably be Julia for native speed and su…

    The choice of language usually comes down to the packages. In any of the three aforementioned languages one can easily and quickly manipulate matrices short of an unwillingness to …

    What kind of flipping are you talking about? I can transpose a matrix in numpy with X.T. What is cumbersome about this?

    When I was in my early twenties I had some amazing experiences that prompted me to ask the question, "if I died today, would I be ok with it?". I'm thirty five now and no matter ho…

    I suffered from panic attacks throughout my 20's. Recently I went to a cognitive behavioral therapist who guided me through a hyperventilation technique to simulate the physical sy…

    That's funny, I've been following my passions and now I'm a data scientist. I can split my friends into two groups: those that followed their passions and are happy, and those that…

    Fluff. It's very hard to find good people. If you're good at what you do you'll easily find an appealing position once you sort out culture. Stay away from the megalomaniacs delude…

    Yeah I love Julia but it's hard to argue with Python's data science stack. Sometimes it's almost to easy to get things done.
