It's official! On January 7, I'll be Faithlife's newest Full-Stack Software Developer. 💻 One of the best Christmas presents I've ever gotten. 😊

Now that I've learned the fundamentals of #NLP, I decided to see if I can use #spaCy to eke out a bit more predictive power in my loan risk #NeuralNetwork with a couple of freeform text fields in the dataset. https://tymick.me/blog/loan-risk-nlp

Wow. Not only has President Trump refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power, Republican legislators in Pennsylvania told The Atlantic​ that they've spoken to the Trump campaign about bypassing the vote tally and directly appointing the presidential electors themselves (https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/11/what-if-trump-refuses-concede/616424).

Americans, PLEASE ask your state legislators to elect the president based on the votes of the people, not based on party politics. This isn't a democracy otherwise. https://act.represent.us/sign/elect-our-president-based-on-the-vote-tally

Remember that loan risk #neuralnetwork I built? I decided to put its predictions to the test by seeing if it could pick grade A loans better than LendingClub did. (Spoiler alert: I won.) https://tymick.me/blog/loan-grading-showdown

I built an interactive simulation to visualize why it's so important to keep #COVID19's reproduction number below 1. If each person with COVID "only" infects 1.1 people, daily #coronavirus transmissions will increase 13-fold in the next four months. https://rtsimulator.com
