Millions of dollars spent on thousands of focus groups. Countless consultants labored away night after night.
Not quite.
@axiomsofxyz suggested a few icons a while back in github.com/RcppCore/Rcpp/iss… and once we remove the hex it is pretty useful for a logo at @github. So there.

By default, logistic regression in scikit-learn runs w L2 regularization on and defaulting to magic number C=1.0. How many millions of ML/stats/data-mining papers have been written by authors who didn't report (& honestly didn't think they were) using regularization?
