Some time ago I read "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" (scheme), but it gave me a lot of appreciation for Lisp in general. It's not that often I stumble upon articles about this language, but when I do I always give them a read. I found this one interesting so I posted it here. Glad it made it to the front page!


Mystery solved! Thank you, much appreciated and glad you found it worth the read. Front page was definitely a nice surprise :)


Hi! Yes, I’ll add all the info very soon. No GPU required. I did everything on a MacBook Air.


Yes! Love that you recognised it! Way more fun than yet another 3D model of a chair or a teapot.


Thank you so much. Really appreciate the thoughtful feedback!

I've watched many intros. Somehow they always end with 90%+ accuracy and that was just not my experience while learning on datasets I picked myself. I remember spending hours tuning different parameters and not quite understanding why I was getting way worse accuracy. I showed this intentionally, and I'm glad you commented on this!

The XGBoost comparison is a great idea.


Thank you! That's the plan. I was thinking of writing a 3D mesh classifier explainer next that'll build on these concepts.


You're right! It's wrongly labelled on the image. Thank you for letting me know. Will fix it.
