Even as someone who has only superficial knowledge of the topic, that course was very underwhelming.
Ty for your thought. I'd love to know more specifics.
JS nails it again even with Neuron Networks. What saddens me in latest years is the direction of library development, where people put more focus on Python instead of Javascript. Javascript is universal, you can reuse your code in both browser, native apps and server. Python ? I don't think so. My dream of "getting the job done" is a universal language, universal ecosystem/libraries. We need universal developers, no…
Yeah! Making poorly designed and "weakly" typed language with enormous WTF's as a universal language! I think if they put more effort on webassembly, market share and library support for js will have a huge dropout. For more universal language how about have a actual sane language other than javascript or even python?

This really sets the tone!
>We need universal developers, no need for full-stack developers anymore.
What if the “universality” of a developer has less to do with their language of choice, and more with their reasoning and abstraction capabilities?

This is Robert, the lead developer for brain.js. Ty for the plug! I was going to mention this, nice to see people listening and helping spread the word. Working on it hard guys! When spare time cannot be had, just stay up late, and get up early!
This is tangential, but I highly disapprove of any encouragement to stay up late. Sleep is incredibly important for the entirety of the body. It's always better to get well-rested over a small amount more work done (which you'll eventually lose anyway since you won't be well-rested).
Some of us succeed not just despite our bad habits, but because of them.

I share the concern about mono-cultures in tech, but if you are serious about getting into data science or AI I have to agree with the OP -- stick to TensorFlow. TensorFlow.js is not a first class citizen of that ecosystem, but its close enough to get real work done. Also... there are some groups that use Javascript for this kind of work (We use Typescript for our projects), but the vast majority of it is in Python.…
Can you elaborate why? It dominates AI and data science for a reason

Different strokes for different folks. If it works, don’t fix it. Etc. Some of us succeed not just despite our bad habits, but because of them.
Please read "Why We Sleep" by neuroscientist Matthew Walker. Sleep is essential. Don't give it up lightly.

I'm aware of tensorflow.js, but what really struck me with brain.js was this snippet from the very beginning of the readme file: how to approximate the XOR function using brain.js const net = new brain.NeuralNetwork(config); net.train([{input: [0, 0], output: [0]}, {input: [0, 1], output: [1]}, {input: [1, 0], output: [1]}, {input: [1, 1], output: [0]}]); const output = net.run([1, 0]); // [0.987] This is how you win…

Not saying it shouldn't, I just don't get the aberration given the computational resources available today since compute instances mitigate single event loop issues
Is there a JS version of numpy and panda?
edit: yes, there are
