One day Norbert Wiener was walking across the MIT campus when someone stopped him with a question on Fourier analysis.

Wiener pulled out a slip of paper and wrote out the answer in some detail.

The interlocutor was most grateful, thanked Wiener, and began to go on his way. 'Just one moment,' said Wiener.
'Which way was I walking when we met?'

The man pointed in the direction that Wiener was headed. 'Good,' said Wiener. 'Then I've had my lunch.'

Hi friends. 👋

Unfortunately I am struggling financially right now.

I'm still looking for ML/DL roles in Python, LLMs, data science, automation (n8n) workflows. If you know of any leads please let me know. 🙏

I swear to God, this what exactly happened:

I woke up today morning and found a missed call on my phone coming from a widow with a number of orphan children living next door.

I called her back and asked her what she wanted.

She said: “I need some flour. Me and my children have been sleeping without food for 10 days.”

I replied: “Unfortunately, me and my children have nothing to eat for more than 10 days.”
