Hands-On Machine Learning

Of all rankings of ML books Aurélien’s HOML tops most lists. With having traversed it now cover to cover for a second time, I’d say this book totally lives up to the hype. I will make a case for that shortly. But first, I must say I gotta read it a third time, for the […]

Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn, Keras, and TensorFlow: Concepts, Tools, and Techniques to Build Intelligent Systems

Of all rankings of ML books Aurélien’s HOML tops most lists. With having traversed it now cover to cover for a second time, I’d say this book totally lives up to the hype. I will make a case for that shortly. But first, I must say I gotta read it a third time, for the […]

The Fountainhead

Philosophical novels are a quest upstream; leave aside the task of pulling them off correctly. Improbable still, to do an original motif. That is why, I will be lenient on my critic of Rand’s borrowed ideas from let’s say – Dostoevsky. If you have read “Crime and Punishment,” the superimposition isn’t mistakable! That, that with […]

Transform X Conference

The most immediate concern for me after the conference was to build a comprehensive summary of precepts shared on Scale AI – transform X conference; at least, nuggets pronounced by the infamous & thought-provoking speakers… then I realized that would be redundant. One of the rules of software engineering is to reduce redundancy. I won’t […]

“Learning Python” – Mark Lutz

‘Part One’ of the book introduces reasons for picking python as part of your programming toolkit. Its most powerful benefit across the scope is: ease of use – high on that list – which in turn increases the productivity of the developer. Still, the first chapter, embarks to show one the lay of the land […]

Ethics of ambiguity

At first I found the reading tasteless, for it lacked passion. I tend to enjoy passionate works; but what Simone sacrificed for passion, she fulfilled by integration of logically consistent convictions! To that, I salute! The feminine beauty of her thought processes is well develop in this treatise. I call it so, because I have […]

Magnificent

I have been a being who lives out his philosophies, which takes me time to build and criticize accordingly without prejudice. “Africa is my Muse” became my mantra a few years ago; at least it was formal then: – though it got illuminated within me for as long as life was in this mortal flesh. […]

Beings whom time couldn’t touch

I looked in the mirror today: took a few selfies: titled “Is it me or I don’t seem to age” I felt cocky typing that as a post on FB: Such a prick! I have met friends from half a decade ago who tell me my looks haven’t gotten altered a day! My mind on […]

An Orchestra of Minorities

I embarked reading this title after months of beginning it & laying it on read later. I had gotten my copy way earlier after it got released to the world. Timing is crucial with how I choose to read books. After finishing “Land of Fetish,” a ghastly racist recount of Western African escapades… I needed […]

Startup Bill, 2020

I read the bill and had a few comments/critics/recommendations to make on it. It is an impressive document that I believe will have a great impact ahead. My number one major critic is the allocation of “too much power” around or within incubators. Of all trillion dollar valuation companies in the world: none went through […]
