Markov Chains for programmers

First thought upon reading the title: "Surely you could pay them to stay."

I have used Markov chains for a few fun projects, like this Markov chain headline generator (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;locserendipity.com&#x2F;Markov_Headlines.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;locserendipity.com&#x2F;Markov_Headlines.html</a>), and a Markov generator based on a certain someone&#x27;s Twitter feed (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;locserendipity.com&#x2F;Markov_Trump.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;locserendipity.com&#x2F;Markov_Trump.html</a>), but this looks like a good resources for more serious applications.

Once it has learned a little about you and your friends it sometimes spits out a lyrical home-run. It is of course you who provide the intelligence of interpretation, but it still feels mysterious when it &#x27;talks&#x27; in a way relevant to the context.

- &quot;Markov Chains for programmers.&quot; Cool!<p>- Opens PDF.<p>- Typeset in Computer Modern.<p>- Starts running, screaming in Comic Sans.<p>Jokes aside, CM is not the only game for math-heavy documents. Something like Libertinus [1] would probably be more screen-friendly.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;alerque&#x2F;libertinus" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;alerque&#x2F;libertinus</a>

Interesting find - really introductory examples. Good read, recommend it.

Pymc3 is pretty good. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.pymc.io&#x2F;en&#x2F;v3&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.pymc.io&#x2F;en&#x2F;v3&#x2F;</a>

it’s for programmers but comes with matlab code and excel sheets

There are just so many of these fun AI-related concepts that seem really cool and you get the chill that they will take over the world some day.<p>Decades pass and you realize they either have little to no application or are incredibly niche :(<p>Too bad that &quot;solution in a search of a problem&quot; is generally bad approach to problem-solving. I wish our industry was more fun as a whole.
