This album was written over the 4-day weekend of Memorial Day, 2025. It was a challenge to myself: when I was a wee teenager I heard Elvis Costello mention on some talk show (I've long forgotten which) that he could write an album over a weekend. It was on off-hand remark, a throw away line as he was promoting something or other. A budding songwriter myself, I was curious if I could pull off something of the sort. Fast forward to 35 odd years later, I decided to give it a shot. I offered myself FOUR days rather than just the two, and perhaps that's a cheat, but since it was Memorial Day weekend I decided to allow it. As it turned out, I absolutely needed those extra two days. The other rules were simple: I just needed to write a complete composition and completed lyrics for enough songs to fill an album. At least... eight songs, though I would've been disappointed with just eight. I kept pushing myself to write as much as possible, as I wanted to have enough songs to be able to weed out one or two of the crappier contributions. All of the additional arrangements you hear were written and recorded after the fact, casually over the remaining year, no rush nor rules on those parameters.

One of the best machine learning books...
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Machine Learning can often be intimidating whether you are starting out or already a practitioner. It is easy to get stuck on one concept, walk away frustrated, or just copy that code you find on StackOverflow without really understanding what it does. What the authors of this book, Machine Learning with PyTorch and Scikit-Learn, have managed to do is to keep the reader engaged giving a deeper illustration as to how the concepts work. In this book, you get practical code examples, a detailed explanation of how the various library tools work, and exposure to the mathematical concepts behind machine learning algorithms. In addition, what I like about the book unlike many machine learning books is that the authors have managed to intuitively explain how each algorithm works, how to use them, and the mistake you need to avoid. I have not read a Machine Learning book that better explains Transformers as this one does. The authors have managed to give a detailed dive into this model architecture through well-explained codes and illustrations. As a reader, you walk away having intuitively grasped the concepts of attention and self-attention in ways that will make this crucial NLP architecture clear. You get exposed to pre-trained models from HuggingFace library which really helps to have that hands-on experience working with large datasets. As they have done throughout the book, the authors have broken down those complex mathematical operations into simple explanations that are easy to follow. What I generally like about the book is how it seamlessly connects all the chapters, not throwing off the reader. There are numerous external resources quoted throughout the book. This helps spark that curiosity to dig deeper. In addition, you get introduced to PyTorch, getting exposed to all those sophisticated libraries that help the reader learn how to maximize their compute power. I would say it is not intimidating at all even if you have not used PyTorch before. I would recommend this book to anybody seeking a textbook that is both easy to read and modern in its content. If were to rate the book I will give it a 10/10 as it really applies to both beginners and experienced practitioners, covers all the concepts one needs to apply in their operations, and acts as a quick reference.

Thorough Primer for Machine Learning and PyTorch
Format: Paperback
BLUF: A thorough primer for machine learning enthusiasts with plenty of theory to underscore its many practical examples. A definite must-have for anyone looking to add PyTorch to their machine learning tool belt. PROS: - Extremely thorough (if not comprehensive). I really appreciate that this book doesn't just thrust one into building models with PyTorch. It starts at the "beginning" and provides examples, theory, additional resources, and citations along the way. - Theory. Those whose calculus and linear algebra courses ended many years ago will appreciate (if not remember exactly) the mathematical theory and notation that accompanies almost every paragraph. This book gives one the opportunity to "dig deeper" or stay in the shallows until the notation stops. - Python. Rather than simply utilizing Scikit-Learn to illustrate concepts and introduce models, this book contains many sections where models (such as a Perceptron) are coded from the ground up so the reader can fully understand the underlying mechanics. Python enthusiasts will nerd out. Parents of small children might want to skip a few pages. - Graphs, charts, and graphics. There are plenty of places where a drier text might have foregone the use of graphs. This text does not. It does however refrain from overusing them. - PyTorch. This should be obvious from the title, but this text prioritizes PyTorch instead of TensorFlow. This is especially helpful for those looking for an alternative to Keras and TensorFlow as the PyTorch API is very user-friendly. CONS: - Almost too much code. This isn't a true "con" but anyone wanting to emulate or follow along with the examples would do well to get the digital edition so they can copy and paste. - Length and complexity. Anyone hoping for a "quick read" or a "quick start guide" will be disappointed. This book hovers somewhere between an undergraduate primer and a graduate-level text for length and readability. This is not to say that it's difficult to read, merely that there are other "quick start" / "practical" texts out there that cater more to a lay audience.
