7 non soft classes in a single summer is ambitious to say the least.
- hsikka 7y agoYeah, it is, its more of a loose goal, I'm doing research and working on finishing 2 Master's alongside it, so we'll see what happens! I really just want to learn and grow, so if it takes months or if it takes years, I'm in!
- Funes- 7y agoI admire your determination, really.

- barry-cotter 7y agoWhat are you Mastering in? What’s your research on?
- hsikka 7y agoI'm studying CS and Biology, and I'm currently researching disentangling object representations using brain inspired auto encoders
- hooloovoo_zoo 7y agoIt's ambitious, but it reads like he's taken most of them already.

- mikorym 7y agoI think that music theory lends itself to a pace that can be dramatically increased and at the same time learnt successfully. I don't think math works like this. I specifically decreased my pace when doing math courses that I hadn't done in undergraduate and I am glad that I took that approach. I now see any problem (given enough time) as more of a research question than just a box to tick.
- miguelmota 7y agoA good quote from Sivers' post: > He taught me “the standard pace is for chumps” — that the system is designed so anyone can keep up. If you’re more driven than most people, you can do way more than anyone expects. And this applies to all of life — not just school
