Hey folks, does anyone here have an arXiv account and can endorse a new user? Trying to submit a paper and really need help. Pls DM or reply if you can! 🙏 #arxiv #help

So today is day 8 of 100. SVM doesn't just find a boundary. It finds the one with the most room on both sides. C controls how much it tolerates crossing that margin. Gamma controls how far a point's influence reaches once you're in RBF territory.

So today is day 7 of 100. KNN: no training, no gradient, just vote among the K nearest points. Simplest algorithm in ML, and the easiest to get quietly wrong. Skip scaling and one large-range feature silently dominates every distance calculation. Unlike trees, KNN can't shrug that off.

So today is day 6 of 100. Polynomial features: the fastest way to make a model overfit on purpose. Degree 10 and it memorizes the noise. Learning curves tell you the fix. Both curves low and close: high bias, more data won't help. Big gap: high variance, add data or regularize.

So today is day 5 One train-test split is one roll of the dice. K-fold rotates the holdout, trains K times, and shows you the variance, not just the average. A great mean with wild variance is not a model you should trust. Ran ovr vs ovo on a 3+ class problem to see which one actually holds up.

So today is day 4 of 100. Logistic regression: squash a linear output through the sigmoid, get a probability. Swap MSE for log-loss and the model learns to be honest about uncertainty, not just confident. Accuracy lies when classes are imbalanced. Precision, recall, and ROC-AUC are why.

So today is day 3 of 100. Regularization: the fix for a model that memorizes instead of learns. Ridge shrinks coefficients, Lasso can zero them out, ElasticNet blends both. The tell in the data: test error drops as alpha increases, then rises again once the penalty gets too aggressive.

Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
So today is day 2 of 100. Multiple linear regression: same update, X just gets more columns. The catch is scale. One feature in the thousands, another under 1, and gradient descent zigzags. Standardize first: z = (x - mean) / std.

So today is day 1 of 100. Built linear regression from scratch in NumPy. Intuition, MSE, gradient descent by hand first, then code, then checked against scikit-learn. Small loop: predict, check the error, adjust, repeat. A lot of ML is built on that.

Not every day is about shipping. some days are about polishing what you've already built 👇

Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 13/06/2026
Being a project lead is less about writing code and more about making the entire team move forward. today was one of those days 👇

Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 12/06/2026
Great products aren't built in one big sprint. they're built through constant refinement 👇

Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 11/06/2026
Today wasn't about adding more features. it was about owning the product and making it feel complete 👇

Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 06/06/2026
Building isn’t just writing code. it’s fixing, reviewing, refining, and communicating.

Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 05/06/2026
Today was all about polish. the kind of work that makes a product feel noticeably better, even if users never know why 👇
130
Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 04/06/2026
Good products ain't just feature-rich. they need solid logic and strong security too 👇
120
Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 03/06/2026
Another day of making things a little better than yesterday. that’s the game 👇
120
Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 02/06/2026
Today felt satisfying. fixed things, deployed things, and learned things 👇
120
Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 01/06/2026
Building products and building knowledge. trying to improve both every day 👇
120
Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 30/05/2026
A lot of good building happens before anything gets shipped. today was one of those days 👇
120
Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 29/05/2026
Not every day needs a long changelog. sometimes progress is just keeping the momentum alive 👇
120
Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 28/05/2026
Today was more about exploration than execution. research, experiments, and learning new tools 👇
120
Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 27/05/2026
Some days are simple. just showing up, doing the work, and staying consistent 👇
120
Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 26/05/2026
Trying to balance building and academics at the same time. not always easy, but still moving forward 👇

Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 25/05/2026
Improving systems while improving understanding. that’s been the rhythm lately 👇
120
Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 24/05/2026
Trying to improve both the product and the thinking behind it. Today was a mix of building + learning 👇
130
Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 21/05/2026
Today was about improving systems and helping people along the way. the kind of progress I enjoy most 👇
130
Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 20/05/2026
Building, learning, and helping others build too. pretty good kind of day 👇

Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 18/05/2026
Small learning days matter more than they seem. today was one of those 👇
130
Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 16/05/2026
Some days are less about speed, more about sharpening yourself. today felt like that 👇
130
Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 15/05/2026
Small upgrades every day. that’s how things slowly become great 👇
130
Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 14/05/2026
Quiet progress day. refinement, learning, iteration and revisiting something I’m genuinely proud we built 👇
120
Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 12/05/2026
Not every productive day has to be intense. sometimes balance is part of the process too 👇
130
Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 11/05/2026
Some days are about shipping. Some are about sharpening the stack. Today was the second kind 👇

Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 10/05/2026
After weeks of building, refining, and rethinking Today, I shipped Strand 👇

Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 08/05/2026
Products become better when engineering and design start working together. trying to get better at both 👇

Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 06/05/2026
A good product changes a lot before it becomes simple. today was one of those rebuilding days 👇

Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 05/05/2026
Making things feel alive. not just building - refining, shaping, improving 👇
120
Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 04/05/2026
Tightening things before pushing forward. today was about making things better 👇
130
Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 03/05/2026
Not every step is code. some steps are conversations that shape the build 👇
120
Manas  @manasdutta.bsky.social · 02/05/2026
Progress isn’t always visible. but it’s happening 👇
