Really excited to be in San Francisco in a couple weeks for @QConSF! 🎙️ I get the honour of presenting the Monday keynote (literally a pinch me moment). Definitely giving it all for this talk. Hopefully see y'all there 🙏 qconsf.com/keynote/oct2023/m…

engineering.cordless.io is built with @super_ I'm quite pleased with it. Easy to set up, the end result looks ok, and the content is published straight from Notion. I suspect our head of marketing would not be pleased, but he's on pat leave so he can't tell me what to do.

Decided to replicate the Jupyter notebook with logistic regression model, from a course to test if I *really* get it. Discovered that too large a learning rate causes /0 errors in the log functions. And also that I didn’t *really* get it.

Why is that the hair around your face dries the second you step out of the shower and the hair at the back just never dries at all?
