Use wandb. It is much better in every way. We used TensorBoard in our company. I made the switch over to wandb. It is much nicer experience.

Porn and beautiful women in movies are very different things. For example, look at Lindsay Lohan in Mean Girls or Alicia Silverstone in Clueless. That, and porn are very differently appealing, and almost surely have very different audiences

Notes App: 1. Obsidian is the best. Simplenote is a close one. Used OneNote over the years. And tried many others for at least some weeks. 2. MS PowerPoint is the best for making slides for talks/classes. Used Keynote and Impress serio

It could have been a community, like Quora, but focused towards CS/IT. But it absolutely missed the mark on that one. It is a high pressure, toxic, unwelcoming place. I contributed a lot of Math and CS content to Quora where I had ~1.5

In Mathematics SE, you can ask the community which are the best books on Point Set Topology or Linear Algebra. But you can't ask about the best Algorithms book in SO. This was a bummer. You got a bunch of smart people with proven exper

Peter Adamson has a podcast called History of Philosophy without Any Gaps (HOPWAG). It's the best introductory Philosophy material that I have seen. Podcast episodes were later turned into books, sans the interviews. You can get starte

I think, perceived genius is a matter of scarcity in numbers. Before, the society was divided clearly into very rich elites and peasants. The majority did not have access to anything that propelled genius. And then comes one or two who are

This is sound advice. Taking a year off with no income and studying something that doesn't directly lead to a job will increase OP'e anxiety. Instead OP should do job, and might want to cut back on other activities for learning th

Learn some C. Choose a modern book or go with K&R. Then make sure to go through Nick Parlante's amazing C resources. Then read CS: APP. Many will suggest nand2tetris. But many people I know couldn’t keep up with it. I finished it w

I hate Stalin and severely dislike Putin. I respect Elbakyan a lot and her contributions have benefited hundreds of thousands of people. And we should not practice cancel culture when recognizing contributions of people.

I had, and to some degree still have this daydreaming "problem". But it didn’t really affect me in any significant way. Pomodoro helps while working/learning. Social Media was a much bigger problem for me. Which I got rid of

I will never use Notion because all the data are locked in. It's very obvious for me to not use Notion. If I don't have control over my notes, I can't use that product. I use Obsidian. All the files are on my computer, and

This is really sad. While I am not a fan of Islam, the reason I dislike this is because Rumi and Sufism in general transcends Islam. His philosophy and poetry tell you that the Wahabi hardliner/literal interpretation of Islam is not

This. I wish I learned it earlier in my life. Before I realized what you said, I procrastinated on so many books and never started many I wanted to read. After I realized this, I finished way more books, and learned many new things even whe

I use Cascadia Code PL Nerd Font. What do you use? I would like to learn how most people decide on choosing a monospace font for their code editor and terminal. Is it pure choice based on looks? Or some other things are considered?

I have been using the Open Library app for almost a year now. I am very satisfied with it. After GR removed the ability to add books manually by users and added stringent rules for them to be added to consideration by "librarians"

That's a good solution, but works only for not-so-involved subjects? If you want to study Physics, CS, etc., then, this will not possibly work. Unless we make papers common to multiple majors.

Yes, that's what I meant. People like us are blessed to not have to hustle to earn since we are 18 yos. But I have seen, first hand, people dropping out of really good opportunities when they have the smallest chance to earn an income.
