Yes but if you're in a Jupyter notebook, you may not be directly connected to a DB. If you're using pandas, this unlocks some scalability before needing dask and a cluster.

If you ever need to join two large dataframes, but are OOMing on the join, write them to disk as parquet files then use DuckDB to do the join. It's amazing what you can do on one m…

Do you think he was on garden leave? Some kind of non-compete?

If you make YouTube content or watch a lot of YouTube, you've probably realized that the success of a video heavily depends on it's packaged. Because if people aren't clicking on y…

I also have this question. Is the RL MDP actually encoding cause and effect? Or just learning (bidirectional) correlations between states and actions? I wonder if Pearl thinks that…

For reference, most gaming channels in the US have an RPM of $4-$5. I'm guessing their RPM is $1 because the channel owner is based in Europe. I imagine toy channels have higher RP…

Look into Coach Sommer and https://www.gymnasticbodies.com/ . Probably the best guide from beginner to advanced out there. I've been following their program for over 15 years, and …

How far back can this go? Would you be able to do 1-3 years of daily data?

Having been on both sides as a customer and foundee, I love subscriptions. Every business needs a business model. Subscribers is a very clear one. I'm untrusting of any service tha…

Google colab is $49/mo to get an A100. Trust me when I say you can build multimillion-dollar ML companies with just that (and maybe $100 extra dollars per month of spot credits).

I disagree with this comment, and anyone reading it should take it with a big grain of salt. Let's go back to 2016 and replace "LLM" with "Reinforcement Learning". Everyone thought…

So many accomplishments are the result of someone just putting one foot in front of the other with a vague idea of where they're going. Hopefully, their north star is something oth…

There's no cabal keeping small creators small. Small creators need to make better content, i.e. provide value to their audience, and they will grow. Making content isn't about shar…

I feel like you're being a little myopic if you feel that all of programming is logical. Look into the probability stuff like machine learning. Read books from Nassim Taleb like An…

Yeah, tree based models are great for tabular datasets that are primarily numeric, with only a few categorical variables. But as soon as you categorical variables have a 1000+ pote…

Just ignore them. On social media, ignoring a stranger is not rude. It's the default. And a perfectly valid strategy for dealing with the volume of people asking for your valuable …

Congratulations on getting your first 100 paying users. Most startups never make a single dollar. How long did it take you to hit that number? Many of us devs want to do SAAS but d…

Hey Minimaxir again! This is really funny because I built an entire company around this idea: optimizing titles for YouTube videos: https://CreatorML.com . Similarly, the user can …

Couldn't you use something like Huffman encoding to compress the entire will and print it on a single sheet of paper, then the estate could use OCR to scan and reverse the compress…

I see you've read Zero to One. :) Indeterminate pessimism also means they aren't taking economic risks, whereas many Gen-Z are becoming content creators or starting businesses with…

I made a video about this: https://youtu.be/YcJN_ZiFw9w

Hey Jeremy, i just want to say that I love your course and the way you teach. I refer everyone to the Fast AI in my YouTube videos on getting started with machine learning. Please …

Sounds to me like you might grow to resent this individual if you gave them shares. I agree with everyone else: give them a % revshare for hitting milestones. No shares this late i…

Probably only for companies without a business model. Sentry is amazing, I pay for the business tier for three different Saas products I'm building. It's a game changer.
