Resources on Gaussian Processes

Gaussian processes (GPs) are a challenging area of Bayesian machine learning to get started with – from wrapping your head around dealing with infinite dimensional Gaussian distributions, to understanding kernel functions and how to choose the right one for the right task, all on top of having solid knowledge of Bayesian inference.

While primarily used as a powerful regression model with the ability to estimate uncertainty in predictions, GPs can also be used for classification, and have a very wide range of applications.

These are some of the resources I have used, or are planning to use in my on-going process of learning about GPs.

Getting started with the Nix ecosystem

What is this article about?

When I first started to learn how to use NixOS, the Nix package manager, and how to work with the Nix language, I was overwhelmed. While it did not take me too long to (sort of) get into it, it was not the most pleasant experience. I would say that there is not really a single source of truth, like Arch Linux users have with the ArchWiki, where you can basically look up everything. Instead, the information is spread across many different sources, which can make it difficult for beginners to find out how to do what they want to do.

The "modern nix CLI", also known as "nix3 cli", is another thing that can cause confusion when you are just starting your nix journey. There are some commands that look almost exactly the same, such as nix shell compared to nix-shell or nix-build compa

Open in Visual Studio Code

Open Automator
Create a new document
Select Quick Action
Set “Service receives selected” to files or folders in any application
Add a Run Shell Script action
- your default shell should already be selected, otherwise use /bin/zsh for macOS 10.15 (”Catalina”) or later
- older versions of macOS use /bin/bash
if you're using something else, you probably know what to do 😉
