I read the Math with Bad Drawings book. I loved it. I did my undergrad in Physics, and I work in Deep Learning. I have dealt with hard math all my life. And I, too, learned a lot from these books. I would highly recommend this book to you

It is more like Nyaya-Vaisheshika was the only school that could barely confront Buddhism. And Sankara had many ideas that were similar to Buddhism, like disdain for rituals, liberation through knowledge, disregard of caste hierarchy, etc.

Indian friend told me that you can know the caste by their last names. And this is true for most last names. Isn't that true?

So glad to see this appear on a major newspaper. I have encountered this phenomena again and again in popular media. Mysogynist content is rampant in video media in FB, tiktok, local clones of tiktok.

As companies in spotlight make it impossible to generate gore or porn, will more commission artists' specialization be in that area? There are already enough offbeat companies dedicated in generating porn, I am sure.

I agree. I write a lot nowadays. Proposals, reports, documentation, papers. One might think that scientific writing is entirely different from humanities writing. That would not be true. I had a very good middle school education in humaniti

The modern Buddhism and related meditation practice would fit you nicely. Read: 1. What the Buddha Taught by Walpola Rahula 2. The Mind Illuminated by Culadasa et al. Also: 3. Why Buddhism is Right by Robert Wright. 4. Mindfulness in

No new services are needed for this. I have been part of many of these over the years. I let them grow organically. I am in many Discord servers and Slack channels, and forums hosted on Discourse. Whenever someone or I want to go through a

Definitely do the fast.ai course. Totally worth it. But also use ISLR, Goodfellow, Bishop, etc. Start with Andrew Ng's ML, then do the first part of Aurelien Geron book, then do Ng's DL specialization, then do fast.ai. Then learn
