JAX is very barebones and will require you to write much more code for the same task than you write in PyTorch. Functorch is still new, and honestly, there is little to learn if you already know JAX. There are some talks from Meta, and then

Deep Learning applications is one area. Traditionally, OO code is written all the time. But after I learned JAX/Flax, a light turned on inside my head and I now write functional Deep Learning code as much as I can. All my side projects

I have ever seen the cover of her earlier novel "Elsewhere" somewhere. Didn't know about her otherwise. Turns out she has multiple novels the plots of which are quite interesting to me. I am definitely going to try out this

No. Feynman Lectures, to be properly understood requires one to be at least an advanced undergrad. Most people just use it as home decor and many use it like a novel. To properly appreciate the material, you need training in Physics. Othe

The key to learning Math in adult life, as I have found- setting aside 40-180 mintues every day to learn regularly. It would be golden if you can create a study group that meets weekly. Just start a discord/Element room/Zulip&#x2

For this partcular purpose, look no further thank Khan Academy. I recommended a lot of people these courses and myself went over a few videos to revise Trigonometry. I can vouch for the quality.

I use code.you.com for my code searches and use the AI by You very frequently- more than ChatGPT. I use Google for quick searches as it still seems to be the best. I mean queries like "Tajikistan capital". I use ChatGPT often when

I don't see this as an issue. Sure, there are expensive stuff that get advertised which poor people are shy to spend money on. But there are lots of stuff that poor people do buy. Like toothpaste, mobile phones, shoes, clothes, dishwas

This is one of the most insightful books that I ever read. I don't work in computer graphics, yet I found it amazing. I read it cover to cover.

The field of AI, fortunately has made big publishers irrelevant. We just publish on arXiv and get done with it. And also conferences are "prestigious" venues for publishing.

I would have started using it today for my personal projects and write tutorials if it were FOSS. It looks sooo good. Once it turns into FOSS (if it does), I will start using it as quickly as I can. Then, if and when it gets more mature,
