The Bayesian Brain is my digital garden: a collection of imperfect notes, essays, and ideas growing slowly over time.
Info
The name comes from the Bayesian brain hypothesis: the idea that the brain is a probabilistic machine, constantly building models of the world and updating its beliefs as new evidence arrives. A digital garden works the same way — nothing here is final, everything grows.
The garden has three main branches:
Research and programming
Notes on doing research and software engineering in an academic context.
- Using Python for Research
- Python style guide
- Python packaging for researchers
- CI for Python Research
- Cite Software and Datasets in Your Research
Outdoor and climbing
Technical notes on alpinism and climbing — knots, rope work, anchors, and safety.
- Multi-Pitch Climbing
- Rappel (abseiling)
- Belays and stations
- Choosing a rope
- Crampons
- Glacier travel
- Ski touring safety checks
