Muslims tend to very anti-Semitic. Not anti-Israel, anti-IDF, or anti-Zionist, but anti-Jews. I saw many a Muslims quote Quran on how all Jews are evil and such. And this is so rampant.

It's not inequality that is a problem to me. It is- people of our country not being able to afford the basics. They are renting more than ever where land is owned more and more by faceless capital. They are having to work more shifts t

Yeah but Greg is not community college dropout, but (both) MIT and Harvard dropout. Someone who could qualify to go to both Harvard and MIT will be better at anything they set their mind to than the regular grad with four year of education

I wonder why anyone won't see Sam Altman's spreading fear was fully planned to raise fear among people so they put pressure on lawmakers to make a licensing system that will lead to OpenAI benefitting in a massive and decisive w

"how this guy could achieve this much" With all the wisdom that I have gathered in life, I can tell you that achievement- more often than not- is mostly the product of circumstances. (That doesn't mean I believe in equal op

30 minutes of exercise- five days a week. Really improved my energy. I have done this for years- on and off. During the "on" periods, there is significant and noticeable improvement in energy throughout the day.

Honestly speaking, never had any professor or researcher ever introduce NNs through graph theory. GP here is out of their depth.

Wow, you are a genuinely good human being. And I am happy for your kids that they have parents like you and your partner.

Dude, that's not how anyone teaches NNs or learns NNs. You don't need graph theory to understand NNs at all. You need Linear Algebra and Differential Calculus, though. You do need graph theory to understand and do Graph Neural

It's very much like the dotcom bubble. It's going to burst for sure, but people will be using ML/AI anyway. If that's your concern, then you can safely do ML/AI. But, don't hold your breath on getting a presrig

No. Absolutely not. But it shows intent for junior roles. People have no idea how many people just put "AI enthusiast" on LinkedIn profile and start to seek ML roles. I have had people only with Excel skills apply to ML roles. And

This is closer to traditional SWE than AI research. Take some courses and get some certifications. And also make some serious projects where you demonstrate your capabilities with cutting edge tools. This is more focused on tools and use of

2-3 years of full time or near full time study. I know cause I did it. And I knew the math beforehand. I was a Physics major in college with a CS minor.

If your job is only calling the APIs' .fit() method, then that is not a job at all. If something is already done, i.e. a model is available for your exact use case (which is never), then for using and deploying that can be done by a go

> "took Andrew's Coursera course" If he really did take those and did all the assignments himself and understood all the concepts, that still puts him at least in the 95th percentile among ML job seekers.

I think the loss is simply because Copilot is currently free for all students, educators (?), and notable OSS devs.

I have been using this app for some months, it’s called "Simple Time Tracker" [0]. It has all kinds of visuals, stats, and it's FOSS. It also has backup capabilities. Highly recommend it for tracking time. [0]: https:/&

Why would you even look at browsers other than the well known ones? Chrome, Brave, Firefox, Edge, DuckDuckGo, etc. are used by ~100% people.
