There was a great exchange on Twitter the other day. Someone had generated anime style images of “Yann LeCun at Bell Labs working on convolutional neural networks." Yann LeCun responded with a comment that Totoro was next, then Meta AI

Ah OK, that makes more sense. I think my main confusion there is that getting twice as effective at spaced repetition doesn't seem to directly translate into learning more — as another comment mentioned, you're still learning the

I'm glad this post looks at how we can get better at learning — it's an interesting area, and I think that meta "how does my brain work" is important to understand as part of the process. I did want to give some feedback

I actually cheated and used the built-in recorder with an external mouse (I somehow had a USB->Lightning adapter on hand). You can then, in the Accessibility settings, enable an always visible cursor under Pointer Control, though Pointer

Wow, this is great! I've been hoping for eInk with good refresh for years, and seeing it in action in your demo is very cool. > The screen can refresh up to 30 times per second, this will degrade the eInk display rapidly. Do not use

I’m surprised by your tone and assumptions, and I think you may be misinterpreting what I wrote. If the author had gone through that process and included it, it would be a much more honest and accurate article. As it stands, the lack of any

The most important part is missing from the article: how they found and got accepted for the first job. The hardest part of switching isn’t attending the bootcamp, it’s finding a company that is willing to take a chance on your lack of expe

I think about this question a lot, because although I learned to program after college, I had a false start during one of my college summers. I tried to follow the intro JavaScript section of Codecademy (this would have been ~2011) on my ow

Have you talked to your advisor about potential topics? The scope for an MS thesis is more like a large project (vs a PhD thesis), and it may make sense to ask your advisor about appropriately scoped projects/ideas that they have that

Strongly second CS50. I took it when first getting into tech, and it was a very solid starting point to build my CS foundation. I’ve heard from folks I’ve recommended it to that they’ve continued to iterate and improve the course as well.

Ha small world! Glad it has been helpful :) That makes a lot of sense, and I definitely identify with that feeling of the magic. I felt like there were a dozen caves I knew about, each one with an intimidating name ("compilers", &

The main question is your main motivation and the tradeoffs with respect to time, energy, and money. I think it would be helpful if you could expand on your motivations a little more. For your personal knowledge: do you find that classes en

Like any general explanation, I think some simplification is helpful :) I may have been assuming that it was clear in the article, but to help show the effect, the diagrams show only the sound emanating from the plane at one instant in tim
