13. Mostly to improve coding or get to the point on some mathematical concepts I want clarity on.

I might have some code that works…I ask it to make it much faster because I know there is a way because python is slow unless you can get it to use some C code in the right library. It actually got the answer wrong, but it introduced me to the key functionality I didn’t know existed. I used that functionality to get what I wanted and the millions of matrix multiplications I needed were done about 1000x faster. This was huge for me. I continue to use that functionality to this day. It was a gem… numpy.einsum.

I’m also teaching myself a lot of convex optimization right now and I have a great book and YouTube lectures from Steven Boyd himself…when I want clarity on some concepts, it is really good.

On the lighter side, I’m domestically declined. My son had a leftover Burger King whopper (gross!), so I asked it what the best way to reheat it was. Perfect result.

Many other use cases.
