    Muslims tend to very anti-Semitic. Not anti-Israel, anti-IDF, or anti-Zionist, but anti-Jews. I saw many a Muslims quote Quran on how all Jews are evil and such. And this is so ram…

    It's not inequality that is a problem to me. It is- people of our country not being able to afford the basics. They are renting more than ever where land is owned more and more by …

    Yeah but Greg is not community college dropout, but (both) MIT and Harvard dropout. Someone who could qualify to go to both Harvard and MIT will be better at anything they set thei…

    30 minutes of exercise- five days a week. Really improved my energy. I have done this for years- on and off. During the "on" periods, there is significant and noticeable improvemen…

    With a 75 MBPS connection, FF loads everything I need instantaneously. Who cares about benchmarks?

    Honestly speaking, never had any professor or researcher ever introduce NNs through graph theory. GP here is out of their depth.

    Wow, you are a genuinely good human being. And I am happy for your kids that they have parents like you and your partner.

    Dude, that's not how anyone teaches NNs or learns NNs. You don't need graph theory to understand NNs at all. You need Linear Algebra and Differential Calculus, though. You do need …

    It's very much like the dotcom bubble. It's going to burst for sure, but people will be using ML/AI anyway. If that's your concern, then you can safely do ML/AI. But, don't hold yo…

    2-3 years of full time or near full time study. I know cause I did it. And I knew the math beforehand. I was a Physics major in college with a CS minor.

    If your job is only calling the APIs' .fit() method, then that is not a job at all. If something is already done, i.e. a model is available for your exact use case (which is never)…
