Mirin's Giannis book was one of my favorite basketball reads. Looking forward to another one!
Very excited that @BrazosBookstore has signed books by me available for preorder of my upcoming biography of Hakeem Olajuwon, DREAM: brazosbookstore.com/pre-orde… Please consider pre-ordering, it really helps both booksellers + authors 💜

A data gold mine!
that time of the year again…
I’ve updated the shots dataset with the 2023/24 season, so it now contains 4.3+ million shots from the last 21 NBA regular seasons. Each shot contains player IDs, x and y locations, position labels and descriptions!

Another must add to your data science library!
I’m excited to share that I’m working on a new book about building applications with foundation models! AI Engineering builds upon Machine Learning Systems Design, but with a focus on large scale, ready made models.
The book covers:
- The new AI stack (e.g. how it differs from traditional ML engineering)
- Different approaches to evaluate open-ended systems
- Dataset engineering
- Prompt engineering, RAG, agents
- Finetuning
- Compute infrastructure, including how to mitigate latency and cost
AI Engineering is scheduled for late 2024. The first 3 chapters are available on the O'Reilly platform: learning.oreilly.com/library…
I’ve learned a lot during the research and writing process for this book. I hope you’ll find the learnings useful. Feedback is much appreciated!

Beautiful! Reminds me of @sxywu's flower IMDb project
🚨 NEW VIZ: Hi #datafam, check out my latest #foodie viz on the nutrition values of my fave cuisine: Dim Sum! 😋rb.gy/amhsln
Each lotus represents a dish's nutrient values vs @US_FDA ref values.
The design was inspired by @fedfragapane & @flerlagekr's vizzes.

We hear specialty coffee is better for the growers, so I always wondered how much do my local roasters actually make? Seems like a pretty good margin. It's still amazingly cheap to me for how much work goes into making my morning coffee.

I may be biased sharing a biology background with Charles. He's been one of my favorite LLM educators out there. Give his recording a watch if you're interested in all things LLMs!
A summary follows, but you can also catch the recording here:

Great read for any basketball fan!
SPACED OUT came out one year ago today. The goal was to provide the definitive guide to the NBA's stylistic revolution of the 2010s and early 2020s. A year later, I think it still holds up extremely well.
