>Feynman is a notable exception to the trend. Using a single exceptional result as evidence for decrying a trend is foolish. You missed my question. I am concerned with how many smart people with disabilities IQ exams misclassifies. I am

Your comment doesn’t address my question of how many people are misclassified by IQ test. I suspect smart people with high functioning autism and the like are not accurately measured. Not saying any of this applies to Feynman by the way. Ju

I wonder how many IQ test misclassify intelligence? Feynman had a score of 125 and many people here have a high score than that. I bet no one here with a higher score of 125 are actually smarter than Feynman though. I think this is just one

Sounds like you went to a good high school. Mine was a terrible high school that offered 0 computer science classes. >One really intelligent decision the department made was to not just mimic a college curriculum. It would have been GREA

Thanks. Can you list what courses one should focus on as a baseline to do research in ML? You mentioned Probability theory & Linear algebra, but what specific topics in those areas should one learn? Any other fields of math?

I have several questions regarding this: 1) Do FAANG companies hire non-PhDs for machine learning positions? Most seem to require a MS or PhD 2) What are the interview questions like at FAANG companies for machine learning positions? Is the

Is this why these companies have such intensive leet coding interview processes? In other professions a degree + exams alone is enough. I can't imagine an interview where a doctor has to perform surgery "as a take home interview&q

Thanks for the context. That sounds like a good plan to me regarding post-doc locations. I am also interested in theory side of ML. What areas of mathematics should one learn really well that apply to the theory side? What blogs, papers, bo

I am considering going into a CS PhD focusing in ML. The mid 40k-70k range was from quick google search I did for CS post docs in ML in lower cost of living areas where the cost of living is much lower than on the West Coast. I am trying to

I am primarily interested in the experience of ML post-docs that forgo going into industry. Can you elaborate a bit more about their experience? Salaries look a bit lower for post docs vs industry work. Some I've seen start in the mid-

Do Data Engineering jobs require you to have knowledge of statistics, machine learning, etc? Or can you get data engineering jobs where you are focused on connecting pipelines and data flow? I am interested in a data engineering job, but it
