I recently started a new newsletter focus on AI education. TheSequence is a no-BS( meaning no hype, no news etc) AI-focused newsletter that takes 5 minutes to read. The goal is to keep you up to date with machine learning projects, research papers and concepts. Please give it a try by subscribing below:

Probabilistic thinking is an incredibly valuable tool for decision making. From economists to poker players, people that can think in terms of probabilities tend to make better decisions when faced with uncertain situations. The fields of probabilities and game theory have been established for centuries and decades but are not experiencing a renaissance with the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence(AI). Can we incorporate probabilities as a first class citizen of software code? Welcome…
