Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

The intro class is Python. I just wanted some formal programming training for best practices.

lol why in the gently caress are you taking machine learning without taking intro to ai? and i love how you're taking poo poo like machine learning and high performance arch and ignoring basic poo poo like "databases" and "algorithms" and other things that you really need as a base......gently caress it why am i even bothering.

No its the other way around.

Really don't get the machine learning without algos or any kind of programmin class. Real talk, have you spoken to an advisor/someone in the dept?

as much as I don't mind memory too much, OSX has been real poo poo handling it for me. kernel_task, dashboard client, mds / mdworker, windowserver, dock, and other services end up taking nearly half the active memory on my MBP (4GB). Then if I use only one or two other poo poo apps with bad memory handling (chrome, FF, whatever), I'm soon close to swapping.

It's getting pretty annoying to have it swap for a while because I have two browsers running and I now want to open a PDF.

I have taken algorithms and intro to db before. Machine learning seems like it is pretty much a select niche of algorithms, so taking it on its own is fine I think.

Seriously dude. You are a habitual flavor waster. Not to mention that I think a large scale fusion reactor is primitive.

Whatever that large scale device is, it should be able to be produced on a micro scale as capacitors so it can be used to power any object at an affordable price. It also has to be safe.

when you float through grad school (because that's easy to do if you just want to get through and not actually do or learn anything) and graduate and can't get a job because you can't do basic cs 101 poo poo like describe how quick sort works or write a queue from scratch the schadenfreude will be glorious

also you literally don't know what machine learning is at all it's not "here's some algorithms time to go make an ai now!" but whatever

like, maybe it's different at ucla but nobody took machine learning unless they were specializing in ai because it's literally that useless in a practical sense

e: actually i take that back we got a kinda cute machine learning professor right before i graduated so there were people who took the class for that

it's an introductory course so you learn about high-d range queries, k-nn, k means, statistical computing and a bunch of other things that show up a lot of places.

of course there's a catch-22 in that, if you know what these problems are and why there's interesting, you don't need an intro course. it's like, even when ian makes a good decision it's entirely on accident.

ian's what we call a leader/risk taker.

this is junk pseudoscience

quote:

1 Teaspoon of Heavy Water has the energy content of 300 Gallons of Gasoline. You could go 55 million miles on a gallon. There is enough deuterium fusion fuel in the top 1 foot of seawater in the San Francisco Bay to supply all of mankind's projected energy needs for the next 50-100 years... And you wonder why the Federal Reserve Corporation has been suppressing it... Since their petro-dollars and their power is backed by Oil.
