This piece is kinda stupid written from a not-so-good understanding of what really goes on. Something a career blogger or grifter would write. Or maybe its written by ChatGPT, who knows! This piece lacks insight and depth of understanding.

I am angry about The OA, too. 1899 is good, but not DarK-good. It's also a shame that Mozart in the Jungle was cancelled.

What you say sounds good in theory. But, for profit-driven businesses like Amazon, the goal isn’t to barely make money, but it is to maximize the amount of money coming in. It was quite sad for me when "The OA" and "Mozart

Do you have a Letterboxd or Trakt account? Can you give me the link? If not, just recommend me top-k TV/Web series, and top-k "exceptional B-movie sci-fi movies on Netflix". Thanks.

Anything from Setosa [0] is really good. It contains interactive, animated illustrations of several Machine Learning ideas. I _loved_ reading papers from Distill Pub [1] as they contained interactive diagrams. My most favorite one so far is

Do you have Linear Algebra knowledge, and Stats 101 knowledge? Then start with ISLR. Then go and watch Andrew Ng Machine Learning course on Coursera (a new version was added in 2022 that uses Python). Then read the sklearn book from its mai

Yes. Different problems require different solutions. Sometimes, an NN would be overkill. And stakeholders in many situations would like insights why the prediction is what it is. NNs are miles behind LogReg in terms of interpretablity.

Norvig-Russel has many chapters spanning hundreds of pages that are way out of date and not used anywhere. And the new things he cover are covered in a better manner and better depth in other sources. I read this book like a novel. Good for

ISL is a legit good book. Has the correct amount and balance or rigor and application. The explanation, examples, projects, math- all are crisp. As the name suggests, it is only an introduction (unlike CLRS). And it does serve as a great be

In this criteria, nothing is better than Factorio , IMHO. Get Factorio, and you will soon solve interesting problems and design systems, and sink hours into it. This game is the ultimate boxed environment for learning to _automate_ and bui

Too many choices. Want to learn too many things. All right now . It's so bad it’s almost always crippling.

That is true. ML in recsys of Netflix and product suggestion/placement in Amazon are worth tens of billions of dollar alone, per month .

Not only lockdowns reduced suicide rates, but, suicide rates in the age group 12-18 is always low in the months of summer vacation. And the data from early 90s to present year confirm that.

My favorite in blogs is The AI Summer . The signal to noise ratio of Medium is very low, but it does show you very nice articles from time to time. I read papers, follow people on Twitter. I don't read ML blogs much.

Seems like we live in completely different worlds. Among all the search engines I have tried, Brave search has been the crappiest- hands down. Nothing even comes close. Well, I poked around with Startpage for a day or two. Maybe it was crap
