1/🧵 Good #DataScience advice that breaks pretty much every rule you learned in class... a thread. (+full blog post linked)

 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:
6/🧵 Low-quality data: use small sample sizes, synthetic data, and non-randomly sampled data to gain insights about the data collection process itself.
7/🧵 Rough-and-dirty models: seek an understanding of what the payoff from minimum effort looks like. Start with bad algorithms which you know are only going to give you a benchmark, not your best solution.
8/🧵 Multiple comparisons: instead of picking a single hypothesis test, feel free to throw the kitchen sink at your data to discover signals worth basing your final approach on. Add deadlines and MVP milestones to avoid the trap of infinite polishing, poking, and prodding.
9/🧵 If the statistician in you isn’t screaming yet, I admire your sangfroid. This advice breaks pretty much every rule you learned in class. So why am I endorsing these “bad behaviors”?
10/🧵 So why am I endorsing these “bad behaviors”? Because this is the pilot phase. I’m all about following the standard advice later, but this early phase has different rules.
11/🧵 The important thing is to avoid rookie mistakes by remembering these 2 crucial principles:
12/🧵 Principle 1: Don’t take any findings from the early phase too seriously.
13/🧵 Principle 2: Always collect a clean new dataset when you’re ready for the final version.

For more info: https://t.co/Ue332SMjy1
14/🧵 You’re using your initial iterative exploratory efforts to inform your eventual approach (which you’ll take just as seriously as the most studious statistician would). The trick is to use the best of exploratory nimbleness to inform what’s worth considering along the way.
15/🧵 If you’re used to the rigidity of traditional statistical inference, it’s time to rediscover the benefits of pilot studies in science and find ways to embed the equivalent into your data science projects.
16/🧵 The key thing to understand about this advice is that

- finding good questions
- finding good answers
- finding good approaches going from one to the other

are all different objectives that require different approaches. Sometimes there's homework to do before answers...

Are you planning to learning machine learning this year?

These are the Python frameworks you need to learn as an absolute beginner.

🧵👇

It can be overwhelming seeing all the machine learning frameworks at once and not even knowing what they do.

I made this thread so that your machine learning journey becomes just a little bit easier.

(2 / 11)

This thread will only focus on Python frameworks.

Why?
Because Python is the most common path into machine learning.

( If you have experience with any other language then learning Python will not be difficult at all. )

(3 / 11)

Here's the entire list:

- Pandas
- Numpy
- Matplotlib
- TensorFlow
- PyTorch
- Keras
- Scikit Learn

Let's see what they do.

(4 / 11)

You'll have to interact with csv files or databases on a regular basis to access data in machine learning, pandas helps you do just that.

The cool thing about Pandas is that it actually doesn't change the original data...

The "polarization is the problem" narrative to me is bad because it implies the status quo was a stable and acceptable set of trade-offs. It's the equivalent of a pollyanna "why can't we all get along" but the we in question is white supremacy and its targets.

like i understand that conflict mediation requires mutual concessions (i did my MA in conflict studies) and while it's important to meet people's deep needs across spectrums of difference, certain things are just not up for negotiation.

Also while peacebuilding work is good. It's not just "seeing each other as human" it's literally about transforming structural issues. (hence Galtung's distinction between positive and negative peace wherin negative peace is like a ceasefire and positive is a transformed society.

And I think that to whatever extent that kind of peacebuilding work is applicable, it's not between fascists and people who think fascists are bad. Fascists are not invited. They are only invited if they seize territories and can't be crushed. Then secret negotiations.

The US is always like "we don't negotiate with terrorists" but literally every president negotiates with who they consider to be terrorists. It's all just down low. But that's just because counter-insurgency failed.

Okay, doing my first baby steps with r2frida (which combines the power of @radareorg and @fridadotre).

Gonna share my progress in this thread (live, so keep calm).

The goal: Runtime inspection of data sent out by TikTok !!before!! it gets encrypted

1/many

First of all, we do not start from zero. I got some prior knowledge from past reversing attempts and want to share some important facts.

TikTok's (log data) encryption is accomplished by a native library. The Android Java code just serves as proxy function to the native function

The decompiled code for the respective native JNI function of an older TikTok version looks something like this, but in this example I use the most current TT version (no statical analysis done, yet)


In case you never reversed native libraries which were build to interface with Android Java layer via JNI, I highly suggest the entry level introduction on the topic by @maddiestone

Before we start, I want to pinpoint some important aspects (which are also covered by Maddie's videos).

1) Unlike raw C-functions, JNI functions like the one showcased above, receive pointers to complex Java objects .

F.e. a function receiving a String on the Java layer...

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)

In Python, these are the concepts which you must know:

- Object oriented programming in Python : Classes, Objects, Methods
- List slicing
- String formatting
- Dictionaries & Tuples
- Basic terminal commands
- Exception handling

Story 21 - it is about how stone elephant came to life and ate sugarcane - When Raja Abhisheka Pandyan met Ellam Valla Siddhar

கல்யானைக்கு கரும்பருத்திய படலம்


Raja Abhisheka Pandiyan went ahead to meet Ellam Valla Siddhar on the premises of the temple.On seeing the arrival of Raja, people surrounding Siddhar moved back. Abhisheka Pandiyan introduced himself to Siddhar &asked about his whereabouts.Also his purpose of visit to Madurai.

Raja asked why he performed magical acts, does he expect anything from him or people of Madurai.

Siddhar laughed & replied to Raja that he was from Kasi. He had heard a lot about Madurai in Kashi.Also told that this place is a Mukti Kshetram,so he had come to stay here.

Siddhar asked Raja if he has the capability &power to give anything that he asks for. Siddhar told King that he has power to do things even if he think of it.Siddhar asked King to ask whatever he wants & it would be provided, whatever these people had asked, they were granted.


Abhisheka Pandyan was shocked to receive such a reply from Siddhar,& he decided to test the power of this Siddhar. By that time, Raja saw a person in crowd having Sugarcane.

Raja took Sugarcane from that person.

5 star RSI Strategy by @VishalMalkan

Unconventional approach of 60-40 RSI and range shift concept.

According to him,
whenever the market is bearish,
it won’t be able to cross 60,
and whenever in a bullish trend,
it won’t be able to cross 40.

Like & Retweet for Maximum Reach.

So, instead of the 70-30 Relative Strength Index,
we will use the 60-40 range for the RSI indicator for this strategy.

When the
Monthly and Weekly RSI>60,
& when the RSI takes support at 40 in the daily chart,
it may bounce back and most probably it will not go below 40.

If a bullish candle is formed at the 40 RSI level,
the prices may bounce back, and one can enter the stock.

The stoploss can be placed at the low of that bullish candlestick,
and the target can be the 60 RSI level.

When the
Monthly and Weekly RSI<40,
& when the RSI takes resistance at 60 in the daily chart,
it may bounce back and most probably it will not go above 60

If a bearish candle is formed at the 60 RSI level,
the prices may bounce back from there, & 1 can enter the stock 4 shorting

The stoploss can be placed at the high of that bearish candlestick, and the target can be the 40 RSI levels.

#banknifty

This range shift concept can be applied in any timeframe,
whether intraday, daily,weekly, etc.

Yantrodharaka Anjaneya Temple, Hampi, Karnataka.

This temple dedicated to pawanputra Hanuman, near the banks of Tungabhadra river was built by dwaita philosopher and rajguru of the Vijayanagar empire, Sri Vyasaraja around +500 years ago.


:It is only in this temple that Hanuman appears in a prayer position. In this image, Bhagwan Hanuman’s crown has been formed by his tail.12 monkeys have been carved around this amulet.


:They represent the 12 days Sri Vyasaraja prayed to Hanuman ji. Each monkey holds the tail of the monkey in front of him but is facing backward. Seed syllables have also been carved around the amulet.


:It is believed that Sri Vyasaraja used to draw a picture of lord Hanuman here on the rocks before offering prayers using charcoal and the sketch disappeared after prayers.This incidence happened for 12 days in a row until he pleaded to bhagwan to appear in front of him.


On the 12th day, Hanuman ji appeared in front of Sri Vyasaraja and blessed him. Hanuman asked Sri Vyasaraja to constrain him in a hexagonal amulet & install him in that place.

He has been wrong (or lying) so often that it will be nearly impossible for me to track every grift, lie, deceit, manipulation he has pulled. I will use...
