Speaking of which... I built a gaming PC a few years ago but I never use it these days. I want to install Linux on it and start playing around with machine learning. Can anyone recommend any open source machine learning project that would be a good starting point? I want one that does something interesting (whether using text, images, whatever), but simple/efficient enough to run on a gaming PC and see some kind of results in hours, not months. I'm not sure what I want to do with ML yet, I just know I'm interested, and getting something up and running is likely to enthuse me to start playing and researching further. My spec is: GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (11GB), a 24-core AMD Ryzen Threadripper, and 128GB RAM. I'd be willing to spend on a new graphics card if it would make all the difference. I am a competent coder and familiar with Python but my experience with ML is limited to fawning over things on HN. Any recommendations gratefully received!

I would recommend auditing Stanford courses in following order: 1. CS231n Machine Vision https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkt2uSq6rBVctENoVBg1TpCC7OQi31AlC https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkt2uSq6rBVctENoVBg1T... 2. CS234 Reinforcement Learning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgzM3zpZ55o&list=PLoROMvodv4rOSOPzutgyCTapiGlY2Nd8u https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgzM3zpZ55o&list=PLoROMvodv4... 3. CS330 Meta Learning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rZtSwNOTQo&list=PLoROMvodv4rMC6zfYmnD7UG3LVvwaITY5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rZtSwNOTQo&list=PLoROMvodv4... Those will get you on track with general concepts about reasoning, AI engineering and concepts of learning itself Language models for me a bit of headache because there're in different domain on intersection with linguistics and humanities but here's a good course https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rha64cQRLs8&list=PLoROMvodv4rPt5D0zs3YhbWSZA8Q_DyiJ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rha64cQRLs8&list=PLoROMvodv4... Those are all free and high-quality but require a lot of brain power
