My go to place for finding datasets and code snippets, also a great place for discussions.
I remember how hard it was to find resources for machine learning a couple of years ago.
Now we have so many of them, its impossible for you to not find what you're looking for.
Here are some of them 🧵
My go to place for finding datasets and code snippets, also a great place for discussions.
A collection of the latest and greatest research papers and the best part, a github repository with the code is included!
Guides, tutorials and articles on everything AI, Analytics, Big Data, Data Mining, Data Science, and Machine Learning.

This is a beginner's guide on mining cryptocurrencies.
🧵 👇🏻
Mining 101
Typically, when you transfer money using a service like Paypal, they take a small cut for facilitating the exchange.
In cryptocurrencies, people like you and me act as Paypal and facilitate exchanges of cryptocurrency. We get a cut for this just like Paypal did.
In order to make these transactions happen, our computers need to do some calculations which requires a lot of computational power.
A GPU or a Graphics Processing Unit which is typically marketed for gaming workloads can be used to mine cryptocurrencies.
Why do you need a GPU?
Today, there are so many miners that the "difficulty" of mining cryptocurrencies has skyrocketed, which basically means it takes a lot of computational power to mine crypto which GPUs can provide and CPUs cannot.
(❗ This is an oversimplification)
If you are interested in the inner workings of how blockchain and cryptocurrency, then I highly suggest that you read this thread by @oliverjumpertz

What actually is a Blockchain?

Bitcoin is breaking record after record, but there must be more to the technology than just crypto, or not? Well, we can take a look at the underlying technology first to understand what it actually provides to us.

I'm going to do two history threads on Ethiopia, one on its ancient history, one on its modern story (1800 to today). 🇪🇹
I'll begin with the ancient history ... and it goes way back. Because modern humans - and before that, the ancestors of humans - almost certainly originated in Ethiopia. 🇪🇹 (sub-thread):
The first likely historical reference to Ethiopia is ancient Egyptian records of trade expeditions to the "Land of Punt" in search of gold, ebony, ivory, incense, and wild animals, starting in c 2500 BC 🇪🇹
Ethiopians themselves believe that the Queen of Sheba, who visited Israel's King Solomon in the Bible (c 950 BC), came from Ethiopia (not Yemen, as others believe). Here she is meeting Solomon in a stain-glassed window in Addis Ababa's Holy Trinity Church. 🇪🇹
References to the Queen of Sheba are everywhere in Ethiopia. The national airline's frequent flier miles are even called "ShebaMiles". 🇪🇹
