- Why "naive Bayes" is not Bayesian Explains why the so-called “naive Bayes” classifier is not Bayesian. The setup is okay, but estimating probabilities by doing relative frequencies instead of using Dirichlet conjugate priors or integration strays from The Path.

Domebook … Domebook 2 … books that inspired imagination; inspire yet. Bucky, god-like, opened imagination, informed holistic thinking, and, for me, the feeling of holy.
But curiosity. A comfort for few, and terror for too many. The dynamics of abrupt climate change: curious to few, and terror to too many. Or weaponry to weaponry perpetually effected … and livenry lost.
Thanks for this post. And a view of a world mostly lost: where humanity looks into its place in the wholeness; longs for love.
