Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?

Why HN links it

Comments link invrea.com, a startup that uses probabilistic programming, and a Bayesian inference tutorial page for its management scenarios plugin. Commenters cite it as an example of the field.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
