Earlier quoted context omitted.

Do you have any recommendations for learning resources for marketing/advertisement/SEO ? I want to get into that, but it's a very noisy domain with lots of "experts" selling their knowledge, so difficult to know what is good or bad.

GPT 4. Read Alex Hormozi and Russel Brunson’s books (marketing) Frank Kern for Ads and Matt Diggity for SEO

Thank you!

How to rebuild a toilet with rotting parts and replacing a whole vanity with old plumbing systems.

Where are searching for old valves? I gave up on rebuilding old fixtures because parts were impossible to find.

ebay and yard sales. But yes, I replaced my old tub because nothing is to spec and everything was handcrafted so none of modern parts will fit.

Avadhuta Gita - a treatise on the non-dual nature of reality and consciousness.

Deeper studying of hardware and software that drives deep learning for the simple reason that I find Python a horrible experience and I am wondering why there are no real alternatives in modern deep learning. Also home DYI, forest building and Portuguese.

I've been building a game in Compose Multiplatform and have been learning how to integrate new UI features across WASM, Android, iOS, MacOS, Windows. It's great new tech with a lot of promise even though it's still early.

I'm learning how to build a MMORPG. Not a complete game but a project with all the architecture in place to expand on (think Asheron's Call quality). I started programming because I wanted to work on Guild Wars 1 back in the day, but that didn't work out and I ended up as a web developer (although with some gamedev experience). I've always thought you can't make an MMO alone and so never tried. Recently a combination…

(Edit for fixing the format) Surprised to know nobody mentions reinforcement learning here. Bought three books (in their transitional Chinese edition), whose original titles are, * Reinforcement Learning 2nd, Richard S. Sutton & Andrew G. Barto * Deep Reinforcement Learning in Action, Alexander Zai & Brandon Brown * AlphaZero 深層学習・強化学習・探索 人工知能プログラミング実践入門, 布留川英一 None of them teaches you how to apply RL libraries. The…

You should take a look at OpenAI's spinning up RL! I found it was a great resource when I began studying for RL.

I'd love to know why you "find Python a horrible experience"? It's the complete opposite to what I know and others know.
