"Validation" continues to lead #prodmgmt astray. Good piece from @dakotashine despite his use of the term. https://t.co/wAWmvu0DTP

Business goals are inward focused, and defining them has limited value. The real magic is in defining and measuring customer outcomes, and then showing how improving customer outcomes will lead to better business outcomes. https://t.co/HbjLj9UXjd

When someone asks for a report, don't ask, "What do you want in the report?" Instead, ask what decisions it will help them make. "Nobody wakes up in the morning and says today's going to be a great day, I'm going to produce 15 reports." - @jmspool

Today's #AI and #ML models rely on memorization and "local generalization". Massive scaling has led to smarter models. But getting models to adapt to novel situations, where there is little or no data, will require more than just memorizing more data. https://t.co/UAXS9wTIEo

The 3rd edition of my book Deep Learning with Python is being printed right now, and will be in bookstores within 2 weeks. You can order it now from Amazon or from Manning. This time, we're also releasing the whole thing as a 100% free website. I don't care if it reduces book

Wilson scoring is a simple way to score the popularity of items (such as comments on a Reddit post) based on up-votes and down-votes. As far back as 2009, Evan Miller pointed out the flaws in other methods (e.g. average rating). https://t.co/ZoBlCcXXrb H/T @kdamica #DataScience

Users are rating items on your website. How do you know what the highest-rated items are?

Words-based methods can sometimes find relevance where semantic-based retrieval and modeling fails. I've developed ensemble models to address these limitations. https://t.co/mCjyCEOyUx #ML #AI

Concerns about "timing" are also frustrating. I remember a time when, in a meeting, everyone supported a position, but a few people said it was "too early" to publicly express our support. Then, at the next meeting, the same people said it was "too late" to express our support.

One of the most frustrating situations in civic advocacy is when potential allies think the cause has merit but is not "politically viable". Yet the reason it's not viable is that they, themselves, haven't publicly voiced their support.
