Personal blog · zinkov.comprogrammingai
Convex Optimized feed. is a personal blog at zinkov.com about programming and ai. Since 2011, 13 different Hacker News readers have linked it 16 times, most often “Minireviews for popular Machine Learning books”. The last post was in 2023, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (5) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Rob Zinkov's machine learning blog, including his post on probabilistic programming, and its RSS feed. Comments also cover ML learning plans and books.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 5 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
Day 1: Spend some time setting your machine up for doing machine learning. For Python look at Numpy, IPython Notebook, Scipy, Pandas, Scikit-Learn, Matplotlib, Seaborn, NLTK, XGBoost wrapper, Vowpal Wabbit wrapper, Theano + Nolearn. 2: Learn how to manipulate Numpy arrays ( http://www.engr.ucsb.edu/~shell/che210d/numpy.pdf ) and how to read and manipulate data with Pandas ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8hle-ni-D…

HN discussionYou can enable RSS auto-discovery by adding a tag to your HTML: <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS Feed" href="http://zinkov.com/rss.xml" /> Any decent RSS reader (e.g. Google Reader, TTRSS) would then detect the feed if the user tried to subscribe to your homepage. Some browsers and browser extensions also provide a one-click subscribe button based on that tag. It's also common to just put…

HN discussion I would advise you to get started with these books, which are practice-oriented (rather than theory-oriented such as the Mitchell book): http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/ml/weka/book.html with the Weka toolkit and/or http://www.liaad.up.pt/~ltorgo/DataMiningWithR/ with the R language and/or or http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596529321.do with Python As for the theory, someone made a nice review of 10 popular ML books…
