I've been enjoying learning about linear regression. This is a really cool machine learning technique with some really elegant theory --- someone should have taught me about this earlier!

behold, an authoritative answer to the question of "how'd you like em apples?" [also love how old papers have the most stilted hot-takes in their intro. no citation salute to the elders to get the paper accepted, just passive-voice passive-aggressiveness]

I hate X Halloween, what do you mean you are Y (midwit ingroup reference) (Z insufferably smug photograph of said concept staged entirely for the tweet) has to be one of the most grating xitter formats for a long time. Just own it, you dipshits.
