You say you "used the ChatGPT on one screen, code editor on the other approach for a long time" but moved to "prompt and accept". Can I ask why? Is it work pressures, the convenience of it, or something else? I'm tr

Textual apps powered by sqlite running on a phone sounds like a superpower for filling your phone with useful tools, thanks for sharing! Does it access a local sqlite file or are you hosting that somewhere? Either way, this is really neat.

The Python Challenge sounds similar but I don't know if there was a rock paper scissors component. http://www.pythonchallenge.com/

Agreed, the engineering side is where valuable growth is/will be. Also from the limited sample I know of (people I know who are hiring managers) the candidate pool for data scientists lacks people with genuine analytical ability. Train

You say "I've enjoyed them much more than the machine learning I've done". I actually find the machine learning the LEAST interesting thing about a data science career in the sense that it's just another tool in you

What about paying for Google services? I do worry about my dependency on the GSuite, perhaps being a paid customer is the way to secure yourself a bit. Looks like the lowest paid tier is £15 a year, I should probably pay that!

This is so spot on about Data Science in the "enterprise" or "legacy" organisations (i.e. basically pre-dating the data hype). Personally getting stuff done with data in this environment is more satisfying than using the

I'll second this. Switching from browsing news sites daily to just reading The Economist (in print, not online) has made me feel no less well-informed, if sometimes a few days out of date, but much less stressed about "keeping on

I think the guy's doing that one on purpose to be honest. He's cashing in on the popularity of his (unintentionally) hilarious rendition of Big in Japan (or "bikicsunáj"): https://youtu.be/E2GFjXmXEsw

Python for all the reasons people have mentioned here. Tangential, but does anyone know of a playground environment where you can code (ro)bots in Python? I'm thinking of the old Robocode challenges, which were Java based, where you co

The links on the site are usually the "most trending" ones, so it's good for that, but I wish it had as much discussion as HN. For some reason I much prefer HN to reddit for discussion.

Came here to post this. I swapped my daily news reading habit for an Economist subscription (paper only) and have not looked back. The first 1-2 pages will typically summarise the week's news well enough for me not to feel like I'

Seconded. AntennaPod supports the two ways I want to add a podcast: search and by url. Haven't run into the problem of it not finding anything either (but if I did, I agree that it's not the app's fault). Recommend it 100%.

I find this as well. My motivation for new projects is 100x compared to my motivation to finish existing ones, and I feel part of it at least is because on the existing ones I've reached a point where I'm not learning anything fro

That's true. The big if is whether we can ever have the resources to fully simulate the human brain. If we ever get close to that, then we can worry about the "intelligence explosion" and so on. It feels very possible that

If you could encode enough information about the image and have a good training/test set, an AI's ability to determine something as funny probably wouldn't be bad. Anyway, as a subjective concept you might not accept another

There is research directly addressing "transfer learning" where the goal is to have more general learning agents. I don't know how advanced it is, but it's certainly not advanced enough to become anything close to an AGI

I've seen similar and can't help but wonder if at least some of those people don't realise that's happening. Maybe they see the "login with Facebook" as a convenience without knowing their names, jobs etc. will
