Finite Ape Blog
Welcome to Finite Ape!
Give an ape a computer and a finite amount of time, and this is what happens. (Spoiler: no Shakespeare so far.)
Most people know me as Berk Idem; others don’t know me yet. I do machine learning and economics during the days and then I dive into rabbit holes at night time. This blog is primarily a place for me to track my thoughts, engage in debates, and explore experiments. There’s a bit more about me if you want it.
Below is everything I’ve published here, finalized or still in progress.
