Using JavaScript to Teach Machines Basic Shit Things

Claims that you can do real machine learning in JavaScript, showing a Naive‑Bayes linear classifier that sorts tweets into four categories via the Twitter API, a case where it mislabels “women in tech” as unrelated, and a JS neural network that actually generates tweets from the collected dataset and lives on GitHub. Notes tradeoffs: JS works and integrates with web apps but often reinvents wheels better served by Python and can be slower for big data.
