🤔 Python generators

What are they? How to use them?

#Python

🧵Let's find out 👇

 1️⃣ Python generators are lazy iterators delivering the next value when their .next() is called.

They are created by using the yield keyword

next() can be called explicitly or implicitly inside for loop

They can be finite or infinite
2️⃣ yield - where a value is sent back to the caller, but the function doesn’t exit afterward as with the return statement

The state of function is remembered.

For example, the number is incremented and sent back from yield at the consecutive call next()
3️⃣ Generator stores only the current state of the function - it generates next element on next() call and forgets the previous one -> it saves memory

For example, we don't need to store 1mio elements in memory to do something with each element
4️⃣ When you call a generator function generator object is returned - it's not executed yet

It executes only when next() is called

For example, that's why Exception is raised only on the next() call
5️⃣ When the generator goes out of elements it raises StopIteration exception
6️⃣ You can also create a class that behaves like a generator - it needs implemented methods:

- __iter__ -> to enable iteration
- __next__ -> to enable next element access
7️⃣ You can also create a generator with one-liner expression similar to list comprehension

Thanks for this incredibly helpful analysis @dgurdasani1

Two questions. 1/ Does this summarise the AZ published data :
The plan is to extend the time interval for all age groups despite it being largely untested on the over 55yrs, although the full data is not yet published


Do we have the actual numbers of over 55yr olds given a 2nd dose at c12 weeks and the accompanying efficacy data?

Not to mention the efficacy data of the full first dose over that same period?

I’d quite like to know whether I am to be a guinea pig & the ongoing risks to manage

You attached photos of excerpts from a paper. Could you attach the link?

Re Pfizer. As I understand it the most efficacious interval for dosing was investigated at the start of the trial.


Here’s the link to the

I’ve got to say that this way of making and announcing decisions is not inspiring confidence in me and I am very pro vaccination as a matter of principle, not least because my brother caught polio before vaccinations available.

2/🧵 Allow your approach to be sloppy at first and burn some of your initial time, energy, and data on informing a good direction later. That's right, you're supposed to start sloppily ON PURPOSE.

3/🧵 Have a phase where the only result you’re after is *an idea of how to design your ultimate approach better.*

4/🧵 In other words, start with a pilot phase where the objective isn't finding answers, it's finding a good approach to finding answers.

5/🧵 That means you're encouraged (ENCOURAGED!) to start with everything your stats classes told you not to do:

Here's how I got started with my first machine learning project and you can too.
Let's take a look.

(This thread will take from zero to being a hero in machine learning, trust me)

🧵👇


Getting started with your first machine learning project might actually much easier than it seems, if I can do it, certainly anyone can.

I did not use:
- Any Math
- An expensive computer
- Complex programming concepts

(2 / 22)

Here's what I did use:

- A free GPU on Google Colab
- Python
- TensorFlow
- Numpy
- Pandas
- Kaggle
- Scikit-Learn
- Google
- StackOverFlow

(3 / 22)

This project was actually a Kaggle challenge based on the MNIST dataset which is a collection images of 70,000 hand written digits.

You can find the dataset here👇

Thread for beginners; How to learn machine learning.

Let’s start with something really simple and useful not just for Machine Learning.

Start with a Python library called pandas. It’s a huge library but it's mostly fun for traders because it's kind of rewarding to learn each function and how it gonna affect the way you handle the financial data.

Then learn some basic stuff about Python library called NumPy. Pandas is built on NumPy. Numpy is huge, you just need to understand some basic NumPy functions like NumPy shapes and NumPy arrays

If you understand pandas then you will understand NumPy arrays and shapes easily. Side note: Numpy shapes gonna play an important part in the deep learning model called LSTM - mainly used for time-series analysis(such as financial data) and Natural Language Processing (NLP)

Can you get a job in data science and machine learning without a college degree?

🧵👇

Short Answer: Yes.

Long Answer, keep reading 👇

(Advice from industry experts who I talked to.)

Companies are looking for people who add value.
In order to add value, you'll need skills. Simple as that.

Get the skills to provide value and you'll get the job.

In the age of the internet where everything is pretty much free, why do college degrees matter?

A college degree makes it easier to get the skills to get a job in machine learning or data science.

College degrees also help you make many useful connections and provides many opportunities in the form of internships and whatnot.

College degrees have their own place

RISHI PINGALA:THE ANCIENT INDIAN SAGE DISCREDITED FOR HIS MAJOR CONTRIBUTIONS TO MATHEMATICS & PHI

Have you ever heard about,"The Golden Ratio"?
The Golden Ratio or Phi(Greek) is a mathematical ratio of nature. Mother Nature is the most exquisite artist in herself.


&Its this Phi she uses to create all the beauty in World.
If anyone uses this ratio correctly in their art,it can turn into a spell-binding piece of work.Such is the significance of'Phi'.But my thread isn't about it.Its about somethin called'Fibonacci Series'&who actually made it


Phi is related to Fibonacci series(0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34...)
&this series is responsible for everything dat is beautiful on this planet. Just try to calculate the ratio of any 2 successive numbers ÷ each of them by the number before it in above infinite series.

E.g. 3/2=1.5, 5/3=1.666, 8/5=1.6, 34/21=1.61904 and so on. Did you notice something? The ratio is coming almost same every time. This ratio is called 'Phi 'which is numerically represented as 1:1.618. This Golden Spiral is made in exact proportion of 1:1.618.


The thing I want to emphasize here is that we always find only those things appealing and attractive that have Phi. It's in our subconscious. Isn't it some revelation? We are the part of this Divine proportion of the God or the Mother Nature. Check these:

Sri Gurubhyo Namaha.


After the phenomenon called Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati came another one - Sri Abhinava Vidya Teertha [1954-1989] the 35th Jagadguru. Srinivasa was born on Nov 13, 1917. He was initiated into Sanyasa by Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati in 1931. He was Jagadguru for 35 years.

He was chosen and specifically trained to take over Peetadhipatyam from Sri Mahaswami. He is majorly responsible for the way Sringeri currently is. He built various buildings for devotees, Gajashala, Gooshala etc.

Acharya on conversions:
Once a person approached Sri Acharya that some other religions are trying to convert Hindus and requested Sri AVT to do prevent these conversions.

AVT replied - what do u mean by religion? Religion i.e. mata is related to 'mati' or intellect.
Caste is called 'jAti' which is related to janana or birth.
Ex- breed of a cow. we cannot change its qualities to resemble another breed by changing its name.

This is my son, Sam. He’s 5. And today he learned how shitty and harmful #ToxicMasculinity is. My rage meter is spiking right now so excuse me if this is a little raw but there are some things I want to say about BS #gender norms (a thread)


Sam is my middle child & he’s a terror. A “boy’s boy” as so many (not me) would say. He’s rough and tumble, he’s loud, he’s always dirty, loves trucks, plays sports and knee drops me from the couch. But he also loves a lot of “girl” things.

Sam has a collection of purses because he likes to carry things around. And he also loves to have his nails painted bright colors because he thinks they “look beautiful.” And he’s right – they are beautiful…


So he proudly wore his red nail polish to kindergarten this morning because Sam has absolutely no concept of nail polish only being for girls or reason to think anyone would possibly have a problem with beautiful nails.


But his classmates did have a problem. A big one. Sam was ridiculed for being a boy with nail polish. They called him names and told him to take it off. This lasted the entire day.

(THREAD) The Whitaker scandal is deepening, as it becomes clear that Sessions' Russia recusal was a coordinated sham and his firing an act of obstruction—and that his replacement is a White House plant inside the Mueller probe. I hope you'll retweet and read on for more details.


1/ From 2014-17 Whitaker worked for World Patent Marketing—which during his tenure defrauded consumers out of $26 million and was successfully prosecuted by the feds. His involvement in the scam confirmed he had loose morals and that the feds would never want to employ him again.

2/ Despite the seeming impossibility of a man with Whitaker's background getting a job at Justice ever again—he'd been found to have used his former title as a US attorney to fraudulently threaten consumers with valid complaints with criminal penalties—Whitaker found an opening.

3/ Within 60 days of parachuting out of World Patent Marketing as it was being fined $26 million by the feds, Whitaker was working for CNN and telling a fellow attorney panelist that his purpose in working for CNN was to get noticed by one man—Donald Trump—and thereby get a job.

4/ Whitaker spent his time at CNN making ludicrous statements about the Mueller probe: there was no obstruction or collusion, he said; Mueller had no authority to look into any aspect of Trump's finances or to subpoena him, he said. All the while, he hoped Trump was watching him.
