082: Weird Apex with Paul Battisson

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Paul Battisson is the Chief Operating Officer for Cloud Galacticos. In this episode, we are talking about the convergence of two of his favorite things: “super hardcore nerdy math” (as Paul puts it) and Apex.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Paul has performed some unique experiments that combined his love for math with his love for Apex. In our conversation, we talk about those experiments at length. We go into some detail about what factors can affect Apex performance and weirdly, talk a lot about pigeons.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Show Highlights:</strong></p> <p> </p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Paul’s inspiration for learning how to code.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">What Machine Learning is and how it is architected</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Why Paul wanted to get Machine Learning (ML) in Apex.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The difference between Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI).</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Where matrices fall into the toolset of creating Machine Learning.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How linear regressions are utilized in Machine Learning.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">All about Paul’s Virtual Reality (VR) experiment in Apex.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The pitfalls of enterprise VR and where Paul sees it going in the future.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Specifics on how to increase performance in iterators</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style=
