Deepnote is the new browser based development tool for data scientist and anyone that works with data.

Deepnote offers many features and it's simplicity is what makes it even more amazing than others.

Deepnote is like a fusion of vscode and google colab, in the sense that it allows live collaboration with teammates and on its new features is commenting on your teammates code.

Deep note is super simple to setup, just make an account, and get the free tier or the other many tiers they offer and get your machine running. Deepnote also offers integrations with github, many databases and more.

it already has like libraries like numpy,pandas,TensorFlow,keras,scrapy installed on the machine to make work faster.

DeepDreaming

What is Google's Deep Dream?

So in my journey of machine learning i recently stumbled upon a bunch of really cool looking images generated by something called a "deep dream".

Deep Dream is a computer vision program created by google's engineer "Alexander Mordvintsev" that uses Convolutional neural networks to find and enhance image features to make them look creepy and phenomenal.

It basically makes image have "more" of a certain feature.

With the research I've done and I'm no machine learning face with tongue, What i was able to understand is that this program focuses on finding certain features in an image and "multiply" it ...i guess.. rather than focusing on the networks "Cost Function" like most neural networks do.

the challenge has been going well so far.
Day 2 of #66daysofdata:
-completed the first 4 parts of the kaggle python micro-course
-completed the second unit of the first part of the statistics and probability course on khan academy

watched a webinar by 'codingwithmax' on data science and what it is and isn't.

Day 1

Journey Starts now!

thanks to ken-jee i will also be joining the 66 days of data challenge and hopefully i can use this opportunity as an opportunity to jump into the Data science and ML world!

but here's my report for day1
mostly going to be focusing on mathematics.
finished the first unit of the khan academy statistics and probability course.

My First Hackathon

Ahmed Muhammed Galadima — Sat, 16 Jan 2021 16:08:59 +0000

So i finally attended my first Hackathon, and it was the major league hacking: local hack day Build.

The experience was amazing and i learnt lots and had a great time , the best part was joining the awesome EddieHub guild, where i met several people all around the world.

the best part was the several challenges that mlh had offered and i also picked up one of if not... my favourite programming language "Nim".

I hope to attend many hackathons and have fun!.

Hello World In NimLang

nim is a statically typed systems programming language that can compile to C,C++ and even JavaScript! thus nim can be used for either frontend development, back-end development and embedded development.

Getting started with nim

to get started all you need is the nim compiler which you can install at download-nim

To check if you have nim installed just run in a terminal

$ nim --version

this should output the compiler version and a few other stuffs.

Writing some Nim

to get started all you need is a file that ends with the *.nim* extension

hello world in nim

put this in your .nim file

echo "hello world"

now you need to compile and run your program, which can be easily done by doing

nim compile --run filename.nim

the compile command will compile and leave an executable binary file for you. but the --run will immediately run the code for you!.

and there!, you've written your first line of code in Nim and you shouldn't stop there.. the nim website has a very well built tutorial that can get any new or seasoned developer up and running with the nim language so go try it out now!. 😄
