This is my Go YT channel in case anyone wants to give a follow 😝
The problem isn’t the bot 🤖, It’s the questions you’re asking it. I wrote about how to stop turning LLMs into digital sycophants, the key is to get better at disagreeing with yourself. Read all about it here: medium.com/ai-in-plain-...
In data science, speed can be tricky to master. Careful, deliberate work moves faster in the ways that matter 🐢, while frantic work 🐇 collapses, achieving nothing. Learn about why slowing down is the smartest way to move forward in my latest article. medium.com/@sthornewill... #datascience
If you let AI do all the thinking, you’re outsourcing your mind 🧠, and that's no fun. Learn the 4 principles I use while interacting with LLMs. 🚗 Stay in the driver’s seat 🔍 Know when to step back 🎯 Give it for small tasks 🧱 Provide scaffolding Read about it here 📖: medium.com/@sthornewill...
It's funny how I've had ADHD my whole life, but only in the recent years that I've come to understand it better, which I would like to share to raise awareness. Read about it in my new article; sthornewillve.medium.com/what-ive-lea... #ADHD #neurodiversity
My cat keeps knocking over my mugs! 🐈☕ I expand upon a previous example to teach Bayesian linear modelling and how to avoid overfitting. It’s a gentle intro to Bayesian linear modelling 📊🔍, read more about it here: sthornewillve.medium.com/how-i-modell... #Bayesian #stats
Data science is often… tedious work. 😅 We knew this going in, but here’s the thing: don't make it sexy until you can nail the boring 100%. 🚀 Read about it in my new post on Medium: #datascience #burnout #innovation #strategy #problemsolving sthornewillve.medium.com/deliver-valu...
There's a lot of hype around Bayesian statistics, but learning how to use it is hard! 🥵 This post shows you how to fit the simplest possible model, calculating an average! Take your first step into Bayesian modelling in my new article: sthornewillve.medium.com/babys-first-... #Bayesian #stats
Businesses often make decisions while facing uncertainty and limited data. Bayesian methods offer a principled way to update beliefs and reduce risk. 🎯 Learn why more companies should embrace this approach in my new article: sthornewillve.medium.com/why-bayesian... #Bayesian #stats #business #tech
#Go / #Baduk is an ancient and mysterious game. After a decade of playing, it’s shaped not just how I think but who I am. It taught me to challenge assumptions, develop aggression, and accept that mastery is impossible. Read more about it here ⚫⚪: sthornewillve.medium.com/im-a-1-dan-g...
