Have you noticed how so many Bitcoin $BTC maxis adorn their skyrocketing projections with the phrase “if the pattern repeats”?

Well, we already know that the patterns are not repeating.

I have low confidence in predicting extremely volatile time series. It could go up ⬆️ or down⬇️ or chop horizontally🔄. How’s that for a projection?

This very practical math book is for anyone who wants to develop their powers to think mathematically, especially anyone who has always wondered what lies at the core of mathematics.

@betraidx No, the book is not about ML distance metrics. It is just an interesting (and massive) encyclopedia of the many numerous and diverse ways that humans across the world measure distances.

Regarding messy data, see this:

If your data is a mess, then (to prepare for machine learning and other analysis & inference methods) you need to spend a lot of time doing a lot of data profiling, data typing, data transformations (e.g., scaling, zero-centering, normalizations, adjusting for different units, one-hot encoding), feature engineering, etc.

That's one of the greatest ways to build data literacy -- getting to know your data up close and personal, thoroughly and completely. I like to describe "Data Profiling" as "Having your first date with your data." See:

@gregpandolfo44 That makes sense.

I don’t understand how someone creates an interesting graphic or meme, and then doesn’t proofread the one sentence that they write before posting it. This is not a simple isolated example. I am noticing similar misspellings in other posts recently much more frequently than ever. Has our education system really failed this badly?

If you find other examples, please share them here. 😎

@ImageniusBrasil “Humain” is the most obvious flaw. The others don’t help their message.
