This is so common in writing that is has its own name.

All hands on deck

Yes. The person speaking probably wants the legs, torsos, etc of the crew there as well.

Why do they say the shorter thing? Because it means exactly the same thing to anyone who has taken high school level English classes and uses fewer words.

“Russia” is not an entity that has an ability to do things and readers understand that.

Oh, sure. If you consider pedestrians, that’s true, but we’re talking about America here.

I think some of the downvotes are from the very biased phrasing of the question. You’ve managed to phrase it in such a way that Blockchain bros and their detractors can both respond strongly in the same direction.

I suspect a more neural phrasing would not illicit such widespread dislike.

it makes drivers uncomfortable

make sure to replicate the results too

but not couches, right?

yeah, but the trucks exist already and vans are pretty popular due to the ability to lock one’s gear inside. This is one of those cases where perfect is the enemy of good. You can’t change the material conditions of working people overnight and any argument for replacing outdated vehicles relies on the production of newer things, with all the associated environmental costs.

yeah. sometimes you just need an 8ft bed. I’d love to see the tiny Japanese trucks, but they don’t meet American safety standards (for better or worse).

Considering it was a blocked by the governor during the first attempt, I’ll take this for the win that it is.

Also, given that NYC isn’t as prone to the big truck phenomenon that plagues the rest of the country, that had the potential to backfire and hurt tradespeople more than rich folks with Teslas.

Honestly? I have no idea what things you can contribute to since I don’t know your skillset, interests, background, etc.

Do not underestimate how much you will be disadvantaged by not having relevant degrees and published papers, but if you can start closing tickets in the Tensorflow repository then more power to you.

I’m not sure there are “entry level” NLP jobs that aren’t for sketchy startups without a future. I can’t imagine using openai APIs is a stable career as much as knowing how to make them.

If you were a senior programmer, there are roles that don’t need so much math – DevOps, reliability engineering, cloud deployment, and systems administration are some keywords you can look up on LinkedIn. These are quite broad and would be available at basically any company with a website or app.

Personally, I got an undegrad degree in applied mathematics and only kept going to school because the roles I wanted (ML development) required it. Your background in linguistics could certainly be useful for a team in which other people are the coding and math experts, but I do not come across those roles on LinkedIn very often outside of academia, which, unfortunately, require the degree.

Its really good to hear that the Andrew Ng class is comprehensible to you, so I think you’re on the right track either way.

In lieu of a degree, the only other thing I can suggest is building a portfolio online (GitHub, probably) and maybe contributing to an open source project. It will be very hard to find roles that don’t require you to know git and contribute to complex software projects, whether or not you have a degree.

It’s been a week. Let them cook!

Trump was nearly assassinated twice this year-- 3 times if you count the Iranian plot that didn’t get out of the planning phase.

It looks like he was summoning a person to comment.

Yeah. They do, but the certificates aren’t free and wouldn’t necessarily contribute to a degree anywhere, so I’m not sure what the advantage would be of doing it that way.

To give you a sense of the level of content, here’s an introductory class in ML.

Yeah. the CUNY one is definitely meant for career switching, but the Georgia tech one will probably expect you to know the math fields listed above as it is fairly competitive. Though, I know someone with an Economics bachelors who did quite well in the CUNY program. They even offer an introductory course for people with 0 programming experience. I really do think it would a good fit, given your background. Link here. A head’s up though-- graduate degrees will require more independent work than undergraduate did. Like, course meetings were less lectures explaining new content and more answering specific questions after you learn the content on your own. I was expected to have completed the homework before the topic was covered in class (though it wasn’t graded for correctness). I would say that’s the categorical difference with advanced degrees.

I’d spend some time on Khan Academy to brush up/catch up on the basic math concepts. That’s where I learned those topics.

I know you asked for some kind of personal interaction, but that content is the gold standard for math education. You can always ping me if you have specific questions and I’ll do my best to respond.

I work in the field. Generally, jobs that include AI development generally require advanced degrees and the vast majority require a PhD with peer reviewed publications in major conferences. You will be fighting an uphill battle if you don’t have an advanced degree in mathematics or computer science. You also need to know calculus, linear algebra and statistics to understand how modern machine learning models work.

In short, while online courses can be perfectly effective, unless they’re through an accredited higher education institution, I don’t think it will help you compete with other applicants who have 8+ years of schooling and published papers.

That being said, Georgia Tech and the City University of New York both offer master’s degrees in data science via remote master’s programs where the courses happen after work hours and are meant to be completed while working full-time.

I think this scene nails it.

I didn’t change the subject. I’m saying those right were earned by unions and not gifted by politicians.

As somebody who lives and works in Sweden with a PhD in computer science, I had more disposable income when I washed dishes in NYC. So, yeah, I would say wages are pretty low.
