Awesome article. Thank You!

Maybe a correction:

When talking about Maximum A Posteriori (MAP), the article seems to define it wrongly first, saying that it tries to maximize the likelihood, thus confusing it with, and showing the formula for the Maximum Likelihood (that doesn't include the prior).

But later, in the next line, it redefines it correctly saying the MAP tries to maximize the posterior (implying it considers both the prior and the likelihood).

Thanks for this and congrats on the baby. I can remember when I had my first child vividly (who is now asking for your book as a gift!). Cheers
