Stopped reading when I saw the 3d pie chart atrocity. I'm sure the rest is great.

Seems like they did something to the notebook interface to make it more responsive on tablets. I usually cannot manipulate Jupyter notebooks from an iPad, but I can here. Is this just a MS modification?
Re:Machine Learning Is the New Statistics
on Sunday October 16, 2016 @05:49PM (#12721184)
The statement "More wisdom potentially gets extracted when you apply Statistics to more (and better) data, but the analysis itself doesn’t improve with better data." simply isn't true. A hierarchical model, for example, is increasingly able to model subgroups and additional levels of hierarchy as more data are added. Penalized regression (or Bayesian regression) is another example -- the model is structurally different as you change the quantity of data.
The difference between ML and statistics is entirely semantic. Is logistic regression a ML method or a statistical method? It is both!

If you don't need Python 3, then you won't need IPython 6.

Neither of these assertions are true. I use Py3 to teach graduate-level scientific computing and machine learning with great success, and the scientific Python community is making a very strong push for adoption. All major packages in the scientific stack now support Python 3.

I closed my PP account 2 years ago and would never consider using the service again. Once upon a time it was a necessary evil, now it is no longer necessary (just evil).

If you are getting your coffee from a pod, then DRM is the very least of your problems.

I watch this video every 3 months. Its message is so important, yet easy to forget.
Re:Rovio lays off 110 people as Angry Birds hype fades

I would still play Angry Birds if it did not continually pester me for in-app purchases. I'm probably not alone in dropping it for that reason.

Its not clear why anyone cares what my text editor is.

Simplenote seem to have abandoned Markdown, as it is only arbitrarily implemented in the web app. This makes it less compelling for me.

Apparently, its not possible to leave academia unless you write a detailed blog post about it.
Re:The King of MOOCs Abdicates the Throne

Where does Slate find the hacks to write articles like this? Embarrassing, particularly for someone who is supposed to be an education columnist AND a professor. I had trouble following the actual story, as it was hard to separate from the writer's open disdain for MOOCs.
