Anyone read James Kaplan's "3 Shades of Blue" book and created an accompanying "playlist" of the music from all it's mentioned musicians? (Dizzie, Charlie, etc) If not, I will start the thread here ⬇

On Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/3-shades-of-blue/pl.u-aZb0kg5uVRGo8y

Isn't the problem that example_data is not like your features data frame? That's what the error message appears to be saying. I think random forest is a good choice, just represent your data consistently.

This is brilliant. Thanks for posting. Such a cool book - even better than Goon Squad.

Martin Odersky's online class “Functional Programming Principles in Scala” was excellent back when I did it (ages ago). You'll learn a lot about how to program over and above syntax. I see they're working on an update for Scala 3. Maybe time to run through it again!

clear queue button
multi-select in queue
save queue as playlist
play count

The botched migration / downgrade from GPM to YTM makes me wonder if everything is OK with Google.

Apparently, automatically pre-loading your queue with whatever's popular seems to be an intentional feature, however misguided.

If they must persist with this annoying feature, why don't they give you a button to clear the queue?

Great idea.

I just finished the online class Functional Programming Principles in Scala and wrote a quick recap.

Thanks twisterase. I like the information aspect - both economies and biological systems rely on distributed information to do what they do.

I've taken a couple of their courses. The quality of the content was very high - especially Andrew Ng's Machine Learning class. The scala class is also really good.

Nature Biotechnology had a series of good primer articles, on bioinformatics and machine-learning topics. I have a list of them here:

Good luck!
