What I said shouldn’t really be taken as an advice. If you think that getting good scores will open doors for you, and you are in need of those, then, by all means, work hard to get good scores. What many people like me do not realize is th

I think that the fact that there are special types of learners have been debunked thoroughly. Veritasium recently made a video, too [0]. 3b1b is a fantastic supplementary resource. But you can't start with it, or use it as your primary

Honestly, I almost never need Statistics. More than basic notations and explanatory parts of research papers, I never need even iota of Statistics. When you need to learn something specific, like, say, KL divergence, if your math is solid,

Thank you for your comment. I did not knew about the existence of MAL. I will check it out. Moreover, in line of the original question asked, I would just suggest The Little Schemer. Here you not only learn the language and how to think rec

A teacher, or two. One taught me about what rigor was. In so many ways. Another taught me that there is another side of Math. The non-heuristic parts. The stuff where is there is reason, logic, etc. Dad took a broadband connection, and watc

It’s a cliche, but yeah, Google. Or any co/startup doing "deep tech" in the area of Deep Learning. I am doing _applications of DL_ now, want to do actual DL.

I was an A+ student up to Sophomore year in HS. I downgraded to A or B+ student after I knew how much fun actual learning is. Before that, all I was doing was memorizing and practising heuristics to get A+. I actually started learning Scien

There's a book for just that. The title is "Build Your Own Lisp" and it is free to read [0]. You learn C and build your own Lisp dialect. [0]: https://buildyourownlisp.com/

I had a mixed bag. Primary school years were not formative years of my life. I was sent to a private school because it had pupils from households that mirrored our socio-economic status (Middle class as opposed to outright poor). Teachers w

You don't say how much you already know. Your first stop would be Khan Academy and knowing your gaps. Fill your gaps. Learn HS level Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Statistics. You will need more Calculus and Linear Algebra later. But no

Critical Thinking is not something you turn on and off. It is a way of life. Like any other attainable skill, it becomes better with practice. First, start reading descent novels- any kind of novel that you will. It can be Stephen King-type

If anyone is interested in learning FP and how to think about it, I personally recommend three resources: 1. Martin Odersky's "Functional Programming Principles in Scala" MOOC on Coursera. Do not focus on the Scala part (5-10

Transfer learning is a thing. But I have not tried making generative models with out-of-distribution data before. Distributions other than main training data. There are several indie attempts that I am aware of. Mentioning them to the reply

People training newer models just have to look for the "Imagen" tag or the Dall-E2 rainbow at the corner and heuristically exclude images having these. This is trivial. Unless you assume there are bad actors who will crop out the

I had that feeling about Neal Stephenson. It was Cryptonomicon, so I had about 1000+ pages left, and multiple books. Oh, I am so glad that I discovered Stephenson. And I have HN to thank for that.

I have been running Pop OS on an Asus for more than a year, and the experience is fantastic. It has great functionality with no requirement of baby-sitting- just like Linux Mint.
