Practical Statistics for data scientists
Book review
I recently finished reading this amazing book by Peter and Andrew Bruce. It is definitely one of the must have books for the starter and middle-level data scientists, and so more for the starter statistician.
Running OpenAI's GPT-2
Play with the most powerful text generator so far
There has been a lot of controversy around OpenAI not releasing the full model for GPT-2. However, leaving that aside, they did publish the 117M model version, which is a small subset of the model that still works. And it works really nicely.
So let’s dive and see how we can run it for ourselves.
Interdisciplinary AI
Why we need multiple skills in the search for AGI
About a month ago OpenAI published a post where they open their gates for social scientists into their organization. I think this is part of a profound matter that has not been completely discussed in that blog post.

Configuring HTTPS for project GitHub Pages custom subdomain
How to configure HTTPS while keeping control of the nameservers
As a final step to moving my blog to GitHub pages, it was the matter of setting up HTTPS. The GitHub guides are very detailed on this. So much that it’s easy to get lost in them.

- I don’t want to transfer the whole domain DNS (apex domain) to GitHub nameservers, since I might want to use other subdomains (or the main domain) for my own purposes.
- I want the blog to have HTTPS enabled, even when only static content is served.
I couldn’t find anywhere how to setup the configuration for a case like this, but it’s really easy.
Exporting from Wordpress to Jekyll
A few simple steps from Wordpress to Jekyll format
I just exported my Wordpress blog by using the jekyll-import tool. This is my first post in this new tool. I very much like the simplified approach of writing markdown and having a static site rather than running a server and a database on my own.
Not all things were entirely straightforward, so here’s a quick list of the steps I took, which might be helfpul to others.
