Plenty of people will tell you how to use ChatGPT. Fewer will hand you realistic projects and let you actually practice. Real-World Workflows with ChatGPT by @thomasnield76 and Arjun Umathanu is a new liveProject Series built around hands-on application. You'll: • Assess The Legend of Sleepy Hollow for a museum exhibition • Investigate a self-driving car accident report • Analyze bird strike data in aviation Learn by actually doing it — get the series half off through May 27th: hubs.la/Q04h2zM40

Better math often means better decisions in code. From algorithms and stats to geometry and AI fundamentals, these books focus on the concepts that actually shape how software works and how you reason through it. Included titles: • Math for Web Design • Grokking Algorithms, Second Edition by @_egonschiele • Grokking Bayes by @the_subtrahend • Grokking Statistics by @thomasnield76 • Math for Programmers • Geometry for Programmers • Math and Architectures of Deep Learning • Fabulous Adventures in Data Structures and Algorithms by @ericlippert Half off here: hubs.la/Q04fd6910

Your data can be solid. And still hard to explain. Statistics is how you make impact legible without fluff or hype. Grokking Statistics by @thomasnield76 shows how to actually use stats, not just memorize them. Quick intro from the author: hubs.la/Q040Q8F00

@relizarov Having LLM's write Rust for me has been... enlightening. Rust apparently doesn't support vibe coding on compilation, so I'll ask the Rust Foundation to get on that. Javascript, however, is vibe-coding compatible.

I can tolerate LLMs writing bad Python. Bad Kotlin, a language made for beauty and concision, hits harder. I end up polishing it every time.

@thomasnield76 Have no doubt it will!!

I've been working on a new book "Grokking Statistics" with @ManningBooks. Early access is available at 50% off! With a practical mix of theory, Python, and real-world advice, my hope this makes statistics accessible to everyone. 📈📊🧑‍💻 hubs.la/Q03Kvp0X0

Numbers don’t tell the whole story — how you use them does. Grokking Statistics by @thomasnield76 shows you how to apply stats responsibly, with a focus on ethics and real-world pitfalls. New in MEAP and 50% off with code nield1ML through Oct 10th: hubs.la/Q03KQ7Zp0

Software engineers shouldn't fear being replaced by AI. They should fear being asked to maintain the sprawling mess of AI-generated legacy code their employer's systems will soon run on. Because that one will actually happen.

@ordinarytings This was great, your magnum opus in my humble opinion.

Digital Decadence is Killing Us is available to watch right now.

@GaryMarcus “Our Friends and Neighbors” on Apple TV

Best show from last 5 years that isn’t Succession, Silo or Severance (all of which I loved)? After one of my most insanely hectic weeks ever, I need some downtime.

@CLeonardNews “Age of Easy Money” has remained in my top 3 nonfiction, along with “Apple in China.”

A book can change how you see the world. It's amazing.

Taking inventory of my library. 6 translations and counting of my last @OReillyMedia book.

@burkov Not until interest rates go up and investor ebullience is reigned in, my friend.

Apple did more for AI than anyone else: they proved through peer-reviewed publications that LLMs are just neural networks and, as such, have all the limitations of other neural networks trained in a supervised way, which I and a few other voices tried to convey, but the noise from a bunch of AGI-feelers and their sycophants was too loud. Now, I hope, the scientists will return to do real science by studying LLMs as mathematicians study functions and not by talking to them as psychiatrists talk to sick people.

Can you play @XPlaneOfficial on @valvesoftware @OnDeck? Yes you can! Our controller gives precision #FlightSim controller and is available on @Sportys Pilot Shop and our site. Fly Your Way.
