Happiness is not a function of what you achieve. It's a function of how you spend your time.

Success is a temporary thrill. Happiness lies in doing daily activities that bring you joy.

There's always a new mountain to climb. You don't have to anchor your emotions to the summit.

[Tivadar Danka @TivadarDanka]

One of my favorite mathematical proofs is the derivation of the binomial coefficient formula via Taylor polynomials.

The underlying method connects two seemingly unrelated fields: calculus and combinatorics.

Here is what polynomials can do when it comes to counting things.

I am delighted to announce that a draft of my latest book, “Probabilistic Machine Learning: Advanced Topics”, is now available online at https://t.co/dSlKkwYpLr. It covers #DeepGenerativeModels, #BayesianInference, #Causality, #ReinforcementLearning, #DistributionShift, etc.

I made a lil tool to visualize the call graphs of tree recursive Python functions, since I got tired of drawing them manually. All runs in the browser thanks to Pyodide and WASM! https://t.co/CO44C7kaDT

Something I try to teach the kids is the idea of one more.

One more rep.
One more step.
One more minute.
One more revision.
One more practice test.

The difference between average and outstanding is often just one more.

The best way to grow your machine learning skills is to build more models.

But, to do that, you need some interesting datasets.

Google Research has released 106 datasets spanning from text to images to time series data.

Want to try a new method? Use one of these as a basis!

You will never be 'ready'.

You will never be 'there'.

You need to show up everyday.

Progamming is a journey.

Now go and code some Python.

Wow--SCOTUS doesn't just rule in favor of Google in @googlevoracle, but says that API reimplementation is fair use *as a matter of law*, meaning that the decision applies to all APIs

Thread on "How to get startup ideas" by
@paulg

The way to get startup ideas is to look for problems (preferably the ones you have yourself) and not to think of startup ideas.

What does a mask do? Blocks respiratory droplets coming from your mouth and throat.

Two simple demos:

First, I sneezed, sang, talked & coughed toward an agar culture plate with or without a mask. Bacteria colonies show where droplets landed. A mask blocks virtually all of them.
