I just finished this! My thoughts: I recommend it. I feel I can now read an arbitrary paper, frown a lot, and eventually understand what it's talking about - to the point where I can implement my own buggy version. And hey, I built my own stable diffusion!! I found the previous version of this course[1] to be a good complement: it's older (predates SD) but I feel it explains core concepts slightly better. Very unders…
Hi folks. Nice to see our new free (and ad-free) course here on HN! This course is for folks that are already comfortable training neural nets and understand the basic ideas of SGD, cross-entropy, embeddings, etc. It will help you both understand these foundations more deeply, since you'll be creating everything from scratch (i.e. from only Python and its standard library), and to understand modern generative modelin…
How long does it take to go through the course? I know the on-demand are self paced, but are we talking “expect 1 lecture a week full time”?
This is cool, but I have a fundamental question. Why learn machine learning when all the machines will learn how to create and control themselves and powerful elites will offload the burden of governments to control us? Or we race ourselves to fulfill the last jobs on earth? Is this progress for humanity or enslavement and the end of our species? I am serious. This question is honest. Maybe my IQ is too low to unders…
I don't get why your question is getting unvoted. This is a serious question. For engineers and "normal people" as well : why bother learning ?
The original question is a bit "why bother with anything?" so a little hard to answer I think the way it was phrased.

As in, with the pace of improvements from other AI startups and general availability of their APIs (e.g. GPT-4), is there a specific advantage (aside from maybe cost) to learning to build my own models? Or is the course more suitable for people wanting to become ML engineers (or similar) and to find a job as such? Thanks in advance

Earlier quoted context omitted.
Is there any chance that the transcripts can be published on the website? I'd love to be able to search through them. love the course btw!
This would be ideal. I much prefer seeing everything in text form, in the same place, without having to jump out to YouTube. I can read many times faster than listen, and more easily skim back if I realise I don't understand something.
I feel that while this course is surely superb, I don't want to invest time in a new framwework. What's your opinion?
We've got lightning, fast.ai, and another one that I forgot about... why?

I find the gitlab employees (developers) being excited over copilot to be almost the definition of insane
short term gain, but in the long term it destroys demand for their own product
developers that don't need to be employed don't need a subscription to github
