Love your TikToks :) as someone who spends way too much time on that app, it’s nice to have data content instead of just dances

We always focus on Python 🐍, math, and machine learning theory when starting out, but that's not all of it. Fundamentals of Computer Science help tremendously. Here are 6 topics that will benefit you as a machine learning practitioner: 🧵👇

So I back with a new video. "What I wish I knew before starting Data Science. Hopefully those just getting started won't make the same mistakes or have unrealistic expectations. Link: youtu.be/B5JuCfLQ_ko #MachineLearning #DataScience #100DaysOfMLCode #coding #100daysofcode

I’m tired of the 30 under 30 and 5 under 35. Why isn’t there a 40 under 40, 50 under 50 and 60 under 60? Why do we only reward accomplishments based on age? It only gets harder as we get older. Show me the 60 year old first time novelist!

Wanted to make an explainer video on what is machine learning but got caught up in the history instead. Made this with adobe illustrator and after effects as an add on to my latest video on YouTube. Link: youtu.be/XGepgVfNHRs #100DaysOfCode #100DaysOfMLCode #WomenInSTEM

The last time some multinational retail store undermined black people like this there were major consequences. Clicks is applying for consequences. This is unacceptable.

After millions of hours of testing, RStudio now has made RStudio Cloud generally available. We believe it's one of the best platforms for teacher-led R and Python instruction. blog.rstudio.com/2020/08/05/… #rstats #rstudio

I have a statistics joke but the average person would think it’s mean.
I have an epidemiology joke but it hasn't yet gone viral.
