Ask HN: Is it too late to get into AI from Scratch?
I am a regular Web Developer with a keen interest in learning ML/AI. The problem is I don't know much about it. I like Math, but it has become rusty after years of Coding(not programming, you know the difference).
Is it too late to start from scratch in ML/AI? I cannot afford (financially and temporally) to invest in a formal education, so any efforts would have to be my own (MOOCs, Books etc.)
What are the views of the community?
- greenyoda 9y agoI'm not in ML/AI, but I've learned a lot of other stuff on my own over the years. If you have the time and motivation, I think you'll be able to do it. Good luck!
- captaindiego 9y agoIt's never too late to get into anything if you have an interest and a desire to learn. You may not be able to fit the standard path, but there are always ways to cut your own. For ML/AI, with the massive amount of public material, open source software, and companies sharing cutting edge research I'd say today is the an amazing time to get started.
- sidcool 9y agoGood to know that formal education is not needed as it won't be feasible for me.
