Why call Scrum a project framework if backlogs never ends, why not just call it an operation, after all, projects are supposed to have a defined beginning and end? We might as well just need to redefine what a project is.
If you want to predict what a group of people will do over the long term, you need to look at their incentives, not their instructions. Steven Bartlett
Fight pessimistic thoughts with faith. Make the best of bad situations rather than complain. Complaint makes bad situation worse. Ask yourself, what else can I do to truly maximize this moment (or to redeem the time, in the language of the scriptures). Come up with alternatives
"Given a 10% chance of a 100 times payoff, you should take that bet everytime. But you're still going to be wrong, 9 out of 10... Big winners pay for so many experiments" Jeff Bezos
Kaizen Philosophy: Making small things better in small ways, everywhere you can, everyday! This is the foundation of the "Toyota Production System" that turned an "irreversibly broken" GM plant to one of highest quality and productivity.
Schadern Freude is a term I learn from #BostonLegal that describes the feeling of satisfaction when something bad happens to another. In the same vein is hubris that defines a sense of superiority. How evil can our inate nature be if it is not pumelled by the Holy Spirit!
The sigmoid function has an interesting property that if z is positive, the exp(-z) is very small and g(x) is close to 1.
When z is negative, exp(-z) becomes big and g(x) tends towards zero. The model has a decision boundary above which it predicts 1 and 0 below it.
In Machine Learning, linear regression can be best applied to a continuous range of dataset while logistic regression to classification problems. #summaryNotes#machineLearning
The logistics regression is a special case where the sigmoid function is applied to the linear equation (z) from linear regression.
g(x) = 1/(1+exp(-z))
z = wx + b
Both works by finding the best parameters (coefficient of features) that minimises the cost function and inturn is used to predict outputs from new inputs that the model has not seen before.
for the joy of the angels lies only in obedience to Godยถs will, and with equal joy they would lift a Lazarus in his rags to Abrahamยถs bosom, or be a chariot of fire to carry an Elijah home.ยดยฒJohn Newton
ยณIf two angels were to receive at the same moment a commission from God, one to go down and rule earth's grandest empire, the other to go and sweep the streets of its meanest village,
