Out of the Blue [Sep 27, 2023, 11:58 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
In an exciting turn of events, I'm pretty sure I've tracked down the weird USB
reset glitch that was a remaining gremlin after I cleared up my RAM issue. There
is little bit of drama still unfolding as part of this solution, so I'll save
the full story for when that's resolved, but in the meantime I wanted to share
my happiness that this is being worked out.

Follow-ups
90% Accuracy could be completely abysmal. Accuracy is a terrible metric for evaluating the performance of any AI or ML system. Precision and recall are better, and if two numbers is too much for you, the F1 score is much more meaningful. And quite popular. Personally, I prefer the Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) as it incorporates all four confusion matrix categories (TP, TN, FP, FN). For incredibly important or expensive applications (like space travel), you'll probably want to work out a Area Under the Curve (AUC) for a Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC).
But 90% accuracy sure sounds nice in an article.
