> Machine learning is the process of making a program which allows a computer to learn from data.
The data could be anything, images, audio or even text.
Here's what you'll hear when you first get into machine learning.
- Neural networks
- Loss
- Weights
- Biases
- Epochs
- Neurons
- Optimizers
...
It can get very confusing really fast!
Here are some of the terms you should know about.
(I wish I had this before)

It is almost impossible for a human to tune thousands of dials like these, but a computer certainly can.
Each dial's numeric value is dependent on a "weight" and a "bias". The weight determines how important the neuron is and the bias make it flexible.
The neural net is the brain of the machine learning model, the dials you have to adjust to make that neural net work are the neurons.
That was a lot! Let's summarize👇
Neuron : Each dial in a neural network
Weight : How important the neuron is
Bias : Flexibility of neuron
Loss : How wrong the neural net is
Optimizer : Tries to reduce loss and make the neural net less wrong

If all you know is "Hello world" in Python \U0001f40d , here are the programming concepts you need to know to level-up your skills for machine learning.

Well, you don't even need a PC for getting started with machine learning.

With the help of google colab, I am able to train a neural net using a cloud GPU on this phone for free.

Starting a new project using #Angular? Here is a list of all the stuff i use to launch my projects the fastest i can.
A THREAD 👇
Have you heard about Monorepo? I created one with all my Angular (and Nest) projects using https://t.co/aY5llDtXg8.
I can share A LOT of code with it. Ex: Everytime i start a new project, i just need to import an Auth lib, that i created, and all Auth related stuff is set up.
Everyone in the Angular community knows about https://t.co/kDnunQZnxE. It's not the most beautiful component library out there, but it's good and easy to work with.
There's a bunch of state management solutions for Angular, but https://t.co/RJwpn74Qev is by far my favorite.
There's a lot of boilerplate, but you can solve this with the built-in schematics and/or with your own schematics
Are you not using custom schematics yet? Take a look at this:
https://t.co/iLrIaHVafm
https://t.co/3382Tn2k7C
You can automate all the boilerplate with hundreds of files associates with creating a new feature.

Here’s a list of my favorites resources if you’re learning to code in 2021.
👇
1. freeCodeCamp.
I’d suggest picking one of the projects in the curriculum to tackle and then completing the lessons on syntax when you get stuck. This way you know *why* you’re learning what you’re learning, and you're building things
2. https://t.co/7XC50GlIaa is a hidden gem. Things I love about it:
1) You can see the most upvoted solutions so you can read really good code
2) You can ask questions in the discussion section if you're stuck, and people often answer. Free
3. https://t.co/V9gcXqqLN6 and https://t.co/KbEYGL21iE
On stackoverflow you can find answers to almost every problem you encounter. On GitHub you can read so much great code. You can build so much just from using these two resources and a blank text editor.
4. https://t.co/xX2J00fSrT @eggheadio specifically for frontend dev.
Their tutorials are designed to maximize your time, so you never feel overwhelmed by a 14-hour course. Also, the amount of prep they put into making great courses is unlike any other online course I've seen.

Great article from @AsheSchow. I lived thru the 'Satanic Panic' of the 1980's/early 1990's asking myself "Has eveyrbody lost their GODDAMN MINDS?!"
The 3 big things that made the 1980's/early 1990's surreal for me.
1) Satanic Panic - satanism in the day cares ahhhh!
2) "Repressed memory" syndrome
3) Facilitated Communication [FC]
All 3 led to massive abuse.
"Therapists" -and I use the term to describe these quacks loosely - would hypnotize people & convince they they were 'reliving' past memories of Mom & Dad killing babies in Satanic rituals in the basement while they were growing up.
Other 'therapists' would badger kids until they invented stories about watching alligators eat babies dropped into a lake from a hot air balloon. Kids would deny anything happened for hours until the therapist 'broke through' and 'found' the 'truth'.
FC was a movement that started with the claim severely handicapped individuals were able to 'type' legible sentences & communicate if a 'helper' guided their hands over a keyboard.
For three years I have wanted to write an article on moral panics. I have collected anecdotes and similarities between today\u2019s moral panic and those of the past - particularly the Satanic Panic of the 80s.

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.
https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d
Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.
...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.
Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
