These cards mean so fucking much to me. Many years ago I had just left my startup and was really not in a great place. And one day I just started tweeting out flashcards of whatever I was thinking about in machine learning.

I'm think a purchased them As a set in 2018. The cards were useful in understanding concepts, but above all great screensavers! Excited to see you here and seeing more in the new format
People started to like them so I started to make more and more and more. I have so many wonderful memories of sitting at the kitchen island next to my kid with like $200 of art pens having fun drawing stuff together.
The secret behind them is really this: I have upgraded the styling for you all, hand drawn was replaced with something cleaner and easier to read, but I only really made them for myself. These are the topics I care about in ML, not all the topics in ML.
I stepped away from them for a year or so. I had been posting them on Twitter, but it left like there were other, better things out there. So I stopped.
But damn I missed them. I missed the act of pulling out a concept from a paper or book and making a flashcard for it.
So I'm picking them up again, but this time I'm making them for me again. Drawing about topics I want to learn rather than trying to comprehensively cover machine learning as a topic. There is a ton of better content out there for that.
This is actually cute as hell lol, i still wanna do something like, was thinking stats comics might be an interesting ideia, thanks for the inspiration

I know you already said you're already super proud of them, but you should be!
