TalkPython - What ML can Teach Us About Life

Michael Kennedy, host of Talk Python to Me, invited me to chat on his podcast. It was a slightly more philosophical episode of TalkPython where we dived into a recent post I wrote about some life lessons I gained from machine learning.

Data cleaning: Assess what you consume

Low vs. high signal data: Seek to disconfirm and update

Explore-Exploit: Balance for greater long-term reward

Transfer Learning: Books and papers are cheat codes

Iterations: Find reps you can tolerate, and iterate fast

Overfitting: Focus on intuition and keep learning

Ensembling: Diversity is strength
