In silence, you enable the people who desire to topple our institutions.

[Gabriel P. Lalu @GabrielLaluINQ]

Diokno: I think that silence is no longer an option nowadays, with many things happen to our country, we are witnessing the many destructions of our democratic institutions, it is incumbent upon us Filipinos to stand up for what is right.

I often prefer to read math than to watch videos on it, especially in reviewing material. For anyone who feels the same, there are now written/illustrated versions of the linear algebra series, thanks to the help of Kurt Bruns.

The pedestrianization of Fatima Avenue in Valenzuela is one of the projects closest to my heart. By closing this permanently to morotized traffic, we get to do food fairs year-round, protect the trees, and add to our ever-growing portfolio of open spaces.

FUN HISTORY FACTS about ABKD

1. The ABKD (ABaKaDa) was the Philippine alphabet in 1939 developed by Lope K. Santos with 20 Latinized letters, and would be used until 1976, with more letters like CJÑFQVXZ to accommodate the spellings of Non-Tagalog languages, including Chavacano.

Flip a fair coin 100 times—it gives a sequence of heads (H) and tails (T). For each HH in the sequence of flips, Alice gets a point; for each HT, Bob does, so e.g. for the sequence THHHT Alice gets 2 points and Bob gets 1 point. Who is most likely to win?

The perpetually undervalued least-squares:

can teach a lot about some complex ideas in modern machine learning including overfitting & double-descent.

Let's assume A is n-by-p. So we have n data points and p parameters
