To me less boring. I used to struggle to understand new concepts as they were presented. That year though, I was able to follow what the teacher was saying "live", ask interesting questions to deepen my knowledge.

I went to the most prestigious high school in France. The top 2 students in my maths class shared one thing in common: they would study the curriculum the summer before. I did it one summer, and while I was nowhere near as good as them - so

I work in Big Tech. Whenever we open positions both in the Bay and in NYC, we are flooded with applications to NYC with a lot less in the Bay. A good chunk of these come from people in the Bay wanting to move out. I've been in the Bay

I asked it for an efficient way to sort a list in Python [1]. I'm running the code it gave me to try it out on a small list, it's been 10 minutes and it's still running. Might be something worth looking into. Granted, the way

This might be an unfair statement but it really feels like all of these blogs don't know why. They copy/paste each other (you often seem the same errors in multiple notebooks/blogs) and I have a feeling no one really deeply u

I would argue that a core benefit of using Substack, beyond the easiness to write, publish, send emails, is trust for payments. I would be more reluctant at putting my credit card info in a random self hosted blog vs an established company&

As someone who has worked at big social media companies, I can say the conventional wisdom about content moderation being a carefully planned process is off-base. The reality is that moderation relies heavily on imperfect machine learning m

I can't seem to find a link to the git or documentation. I'm very curious how this is achieved? Is a model fine tuned? If so how? I'd be most interested in seeing how they formatted the input data if fine tune was done.
