snowflake https://t.co/fgHgBPBZVh
in background of my mind, but got some interesting ideas from their connected databases and 44 days free

Still working it out but inclusion of LaTex and python coding can be seen here https://t.co/gIOi34joOM

[Thomas H Simm @ThomasHSimm]

Create a FREE website (&more) relatively easily with @quarto_pub
The pages sit on @github can be used with languages such as Python & R for dynamic content alongside text markdown
Previously https://t.co/ZXtsWqjsFK worked well but has been deprecated

And in general how we can transition from *doing* programming to doing *ideas* by outsourcing the coding.
Seems we're on the edge of this with NLP?

[Thomas H Simm @ThomasHSimm]

Really interested in things like this.

We are excited to release Ivy, a new open source Deep Learning framework!

Ivy unifies the syntax and call signatures of existing frameworks.

Write your code once in Ivy, and support all frameworks simultaneously.

What is TensorFlow (WTF!)

Really like TensorFlow, so made some html to help me

Also... just watched the Olivia Wilde film: Don't Worry Darling
It's actually ok, well shot but ending could be better
Harry is not terrible just nondescript maybe reflection of the character

This is a BIG inefficiency in our economy. Can machine learning help? If we had the labelled data YES, but how do we account for prejudices and inefficiency without this?
I don't think (current) tests are the main solution

[Thomas H Simm @ThomasHSimm]

INTERVIEWS: been on both sides and we all know it's INEFFICIENT and often WRONG
I've had so many students who I'd thought would be awesome based on first meeting who disappoint whereas the 1s who I was indifferent of were more likely to excel- maybe because they put the work in?

Wow setting up a @databricks community account is harder than learning SQL!
press the almost hidden 'sign up for community acc' then answer 10 qs of what die add up to 14

[Thomas H Simm @ThomasHSimm]

Am I missing something why companies persist with Excel/Access - When much better options exist?
Inertia- we've always done it that way, resources to retrain to something else (at multiple levels), inflexible workforce, a security issue, we have it and pay for it ???

[Thomas H Simm @ThomasHSimm]

Can see the benefit of Excel, BUT when you have to go to VBA or to functions more than 10 chars long there are much better ways
But needs must
https://t.co/6eghTd7c3J is a good course albeit needs more written material

[Thomas H Simm @ThomasHSimm]

Half way through!

[Thomas H Simm @ThomasHSimm]

@RGSupport @ResearchGate I pressed as being public too in settings

[Thomas H Simm @ThomasHSimm]

So @ResearchGate effectively cancels your account if you move from an academic position then ignores your emails when you ask why? Why tf @RGSupport ? #poor

[Thomas H Simm @ThomasHSimm]

@RGSupport @ResearchGate It is active just doesn't appear to be visible as a link when not logged in- i.e. I was using as a link for other of my work but doesn't appear when do https://t.co/nXA3n9GLG5

A quick zero-shot analysis of travel data for @TUIUK and @jet2tweets during COVID https://t.co/hIIinGBpP2
I like the way we can get tweets labelled to a *reasonable* level by providing a text category
