@garrytan Sorry about the trouble. Happy to get more details over DM, and share with the right group.
There's definitely a strong desire to get the personal/work profile experience right.
@DynamicWebPaige@DeepLearningAI@AndrewYNg Fun fact. I took Andrew's ML course on Coursera, and then decided to pursue an MS in ML after that in 2013, which led to cmu, then google, then tensor flow and now pixel AI.
The power of learning democratization is real :)
this sounds nice, but has glaring gaps.
India is significantly behind US, China (and arguably other countries) when it comes to foundational hard tech, which drive tech generation cycles.
🗣️ Interviewer: “There are so many talented Indians in Silicon Valley startups. Why are there not more Indian startups in India itself?”
🇮🇳 Chief Economic Adviser: “I don’t think you’ve been to India lately. India’s startup ecosystem is second only to Silicon Valley.” 🔥
@petmongrels I agree. We're hopefully no more than one generation behind, foundational tech requires a deep capital and talent pool.
I just think we should be aware of it, and honest about it.
my guess: the best PyTorch and Jax programmers are equally good. it's just that Jax users are likely to skew domain, or ML experts.
similar to how the median OCaml, Haskell and Rust programmer is likely more skilled than the median Java, and JS programmer.
@GauravML also, other factors-
(1) Google is so large most criticisms can be true, and localized,
(2) "big tech" is absent from X discourse (other than devrel for top programs), so absence of commentary seems absence of capability.
plus, no VCs to hype all day :)
@thevirdas CMU campus, see if you can catch a theatre performance. their drama school is incredible.
(sneak into some seminars on AI / Robotics if you want to glimpse the future :))
UPitt tower has some enchanting classrooms.
