Custom Useful, Fun AI Agents
I have created some custom AI agents for specific, contextual queries that hallucinate less and give you focused answers: for real-life uses or for entertainment. You can start using these tuned and customized agents without distractions. The following two agents are based on OpenAI platform. They’re free to use so far, so no need to […]
Splitting a continuous blob of text
There are times we copy a bunch of text from a web page or a trascript online where formatting is not copied and therefore everything copied comes in the clipboard as a large continuous text blob without line breaks. We often need to split a continous series of sentences into their individual lines for better […]
Companion Code Handbook for Hello Arduino! Published
Greetings readers. I have just published (live on Feb 10th) the paperbook book: Companion Code Handbook: Hello Arduino! This companion book is a handy reference with complete source code with comments for all projects detailed in the book Hello Arduino! This is a printed version of all source code required for completing all projects (and […]
How is chatGPT useful?
Author’s note: Instead of me explaining the benefits of ChatGPT, I figured why not let ChatGPT write its own summary and toot its own horn, and best of all write it straight into my blog site, creating a real blog post (without having me to copy/paste) and go live?! So, there we have it…this post […]
Decision Tree and Prediction (Python)
This is an example of a Decision Tree model (very useful and popular method) to make prediction using the power of Machine Learning…using just a normal PC. Here we predict salary (depedendent variable) by giving various types of criteria (different forks in a decision tree). e.g. What’s the salary of a particular gender, of some […]
Logistic Regression Example (Excel, Python)
In my previous blog on Sigmoid function, I touched on its usefulness and how it’s used to solve Logistic Regression problems either in binary or multiclass classification scenarios. Be sure to check that out https://flyingsalmon.net/?p=3879 first! In this blog, we’ll be using a dataset containing people’s ages and whether or not they bought life insurance […]
Bill Gate’s first resume (made public)
Recently, I came across Bill Gates’ first resume from circa 1974 in a Microsoft almni discussions forum. It’s very interesting to see how it was customary to put in the candidate’s number of dependents/children, height, and weight even though it was for a white-collar job. I also find the innocence of some phrases used by […]
Machine Learning (Prediction with Dummy Variables)
I already shared ways to leverage Python for Machine Learning and predict values in univariate and multivariate regression models. Be sure to read those before proceeding to this as this builds on those concepts. In this post, we’ll also make prediction using regression model but this time we have categorical values to deal with. Categorical […]
Machine Learning In Python (Multivariate Linear Regression)
In my previous post, I shared how to predict using a single criteria leveraging machine learning in Python. If you haven’t read that, be sure to read that first here to get a better understanding of what we’re trying to do. In this post, I’ll let computer predict something based on multiple criteria. For example, […]
