George Dallas's personal blog at georgemdallas.wordpress.com covers data and math. Since 2013, 7 different Hacker News readers have linked it 12 times, most often “How to build an Anti Aircraft Missile: Bayes’ Theorem and the Kalman Filter”. The last post was in 2023, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog's 'Principal Components Analysis for Dummies' post, which illustrates eigenvectors and eigenvalues. It was cited in a thread about a free interactive linear algebra book.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
