The other day @macrocephalopod commented on a thread about mental math/trading interviews. The question was π^π (no calculator, no log tables, quickly, in your head)

Here’s my solution and improvements, not quick but no calc/log table required. I’ll discuss in thread below.

@cutezu_ Try the free version of Colab first. You will likely have connection issues but it’s free so 🤷‍♀️

[soph @QuantPrincess]

@cutezu_ Hugging face is a great place to start. They have many pretrained models and tutorials. Once get a feel for things I love implementing papers from scratch. I learn a lot this way. Colab is cheap and a lot of hugging face tutorials use it, I guess. sometimes has connection issues.

@RoxanaDaneshjou This summer I took my little princess to my school office during a hurricane. She loved staring out the window at all the action.

@ONAN_OUS Honestly La Roche Posay is cheaper and I think is nice. But at a certain point a cleanser is a cleanser…
