Note to Readers

Many thanks to all who follow this blog. I plan to repurpose this site as a purely personal blog. All of my writing about the machine learning and AI business is now on LinkedIn, where I encourage you to connect.

If you don’t want to read about my garden and my late son, feel free to unfollow the blog.

Most of the old AI/ML posts will remain up for a while.

Thanks again for reading.
