My book with

is out! This is a practitioner focused book on all the technical aspects of building recsys.
This is a wide and deep coverage of the kinds of things Stitch Fix and YouTube use in their production recsys.
And yes it touches on llms

Started to laugh at my mom’s new apartment when I saw these decals and asked her about them, her answer: “well, I can’t afford any art really, and if I hang the pictures I have without frames they look bad, these were only a couple dollars.” 😔

People need a strategy, so we wrote about how to build one:

This was about 289miles over about 2.5 years. I would also like to add that my dog, Ravioli, was there for ~90% and my wife about ~65%.
I highly recommend this kind of project. If you’re already doing regular rides and hikes, it’s a worthwhile addition.

Do you offer package deals? I'm interested in all naturals such that after a finite number of applications, of the following rule, the value is one: if the natural is even, divide by two; if odd, triple and add one.
This seems like small set so I expect a good price.
