What does it mean to be technical, and how it helps Engineering ManagersRobot Thinker, by MidJourneyA common topic in engineering leadership is the need for technical Engineering Managers (EMs). Do they need to code or not? What should their technical contribution be?While contexts vary, and there are no right and

The two latest blog post have elaborated on the fact that when a function satisfies a second order differential equation, once you’ve evaluated the function and its derivative you get the second derivative for free, or at least for cheap. Sometimes functions are so closely related that software libraries bundle
Read moreWhat good is a DE once you have the solution?
In an undergraduate course on differential equations, you see an equation, you find a solution. Wax on, wax off. It would be reasonable to assume that the differential equation is simply an obstacle to overcome and that once you have the solution, the differential equation has done its job and
Read moreHalley’s variation on Newton’s method
Newton’s method for solving f(x) = 0 converges quickly once it starts to converge. Specifically, it converges quadratically: the error is roughly squared at each step. This means that the number of correct decimal places doubles at each iteration of Newton’s method. Doubling the number of decimal places is nice,

Building a machine learning model is only half the battle. Deploying the model into a production environment where it can be used to make predictions is equally important. In this article, we will explore the steps involved in deploying a machine-learning model from a Jupyter Notebook to the cloud.Photo by Safar
