cdrake··on Between Workaholism and Procrastination (2015)
was about to say the same thing about the refs... seems to forget to reference other concepts and ideas in his other blog posts too.

cdrake··on Building an AI to predict human age from a blood sample
This had been bugging me all day in the back of my head... turns out shuffle is enabled by default. Both in sklearn and in tf.keras (also original keras).

On a separate note, I think there may be a source file missing in your notebook. I kept getting an error when trying to load "GSE87571_series_matrix.csv". Might just be me.

cdrake··on Building an AI to predict human age from a blood sample
Interesting write up. I'd be interested to see how it performs with k-folds validation as well as shuffling. Kind of worried its learning order or samples.
cdrake··on The Brave browser is brilliant, but probably not for the reasons you think
https://brave.com/transparency/ To have a better idea of creators and advertisers volume.

But hey Rudis is probably right. Everything should be free and no one should get paid for work. lets not even try to fix or attempt a different economic model. We're all so happy with the current one...

cdrake··on Why I don't believe in Uber's Success
Uber isn't an on demand ride service. They're a logistics company. Also uber isn't waiting for autonomous vehicles to come along and save them, they're one of the industry leaders in developing autonomous systems, investing/acquiring autonomous systems, and collect more driver/vehicle data than any other company in the world. It's not just civilian transportation either. They've already launched an autonomous commercial shipping service. If there is an item, person, or service that could potentially need to be transported from point A to B, it's a safe to assume that Uber has already started collecting logistics data on it and will(or already has) raise funds to begin implementing a network to service said logistical situation. This all may sound a bit extreme at first glance, but look at amazon. Amazon isn't a revolutionary e-commerce market place, they're a revolutionary logistics company. It's the same story as uber just in a different phase. Years of massive losses and outside funding. Both companies fully understand the value/defensibility of heavily investing in operational logistics at massive scale.
