Tonight's Menu - Indian Night at Studio A





I'm cooking for my friends at IbizaWestStudios tonight. Here's the menu:

  • Bombay Potatoes
  • Naan Bread
  • Mint Chutney
  • Chicken Tikka Masala Curry

Everything is homemade from scratch, with love. Even the curry powder and the tandoori powder are homemade. I've been up since 7:30 a.m. gathering secret ingredients and going to store after store in search of a few key things I've run out of. I always like to keep the kitchen stocked with ingredients for a few different cuisines:

  • Indian
  • Italian
  • Thai
  • Mexican
As well as having ingredients on-hand at all times to bake bread.

I honestly believe that if you've got a little arsenal of ingredients you'll want to cook more.

Boston Housing Dataset Missing From UC Irvine's Site

I'm putting together a series of blog posts on Python for R programmers, and I figured I'd use the Boston dataset of Boston housing prices.  It's a pretty well-known dataset for regression, and it's included in R in the MASS package and in Python in sklearn.datasets .  I know the data originally came from UCI, so I wanted to give credit where credit was due. When I clicked the first few Google links that appeared, I got this message on the UCI site: I'm sorry, the dataset "housing" does not appear to exist. Weird that they're not linked at all, but I found these links. Here's the link to the dataset in their archive. Here's the link to the data dictionary. Enjoy!

Introduction to Artificial Intelligence - Microsoft - DAT263x on edX

Recently, my company encouraged us to learn more about Azure ML Studio.  A little Googling led me to a course on edx.org offered by Microsoft called Introduction to Artificial Intelligence .  While it was at least 50% advertisement for some of Microsoft's cloud-based AI offerings, it was definitely worth the 10 or so hours I put into it over the last 24 hours. This was a fairly high-level course that discussed aspects of statistical techniques like regression, categorization and clustering, as well as more advanced concepts including artificial intelligence (AI), natural language processing (NLP), and chatbots.  Overall, what I learned wasn't so much about these topics, but how much Microsoft's ML Studio has to offer in the way of getting you up and running quickly and easily with these technologies. Having said that, it's Microsoft, and there were several things that didn't work as they should have, as I expected.  Full disclosure:  I'm an AWS certified ...
