You got to give it to the pytorch team, they're really great at bringing complex optimization schemes (mixed-precision, torch.compile, etc) down to a simple to use API. I'm glad I moved from TF/Kerasto Pytorch around 2018-2019 and never looked back. I'm eager to try this as well.

Atheb commented on Ask HN: Has anyone successfully pivoted from web dev to AI/ML development? · Posted by u/ent_superpos
Not sure if my experience is relevant, but I did a couple of internships in web dev during my bachelors degree in CS and quickly realized it wasn't for me. I then did a masters and now a PhD in medical imaging where I extensively use machine learning (design and train my own models, doing both supervised and RL) but I wouldn't say I am a researcher in AI/ML.
Because I am still in the academic process, I had the opportunity to take a couple of classes on the subject. Three books that I would recommend going over to make sure your foundation in ML and mathematics are solid are
-Pattern recognition and machine learning by Christopher Bishop
-Mathematics for Machine Learning by Peter Deisenroth
-Deep Learning by Courville, Bengio and Goodfellow
All three are legally available online in some form. I can't say I have any experience in finding a job related to ML though.

What is your occupation where you get paid to work only on what feels right, only when it feels right, for only as long as it feels right, with leeway to hop on your bicycle and forget about work whenever you want?
Cause I am interested in this line of work. At least if it pays enough to live comfortably.
I have a similar schedule, although a slightly more organized. I try to be available from 9 to 4, atleast through emails if I'm not in my office, because that's when other people also work and might need me. I often leave mid-day to go running or come in late because I went bouldering in the morning. If I don't feel inspired to write or work, I often instead go for a walk and read books tangentially to my research topics. Then some days I'll work 12 hours straight.
I mostly work when it feels right, yes, and do something else when it doesn't. But I am doing my PhD and (in Canada) it absolutely does not pay enough to live comfortably.
I think future generations will look back and think we were morons for choosing coal over nuclear. The radiation from particulates released by burning coal actually kills more people each year than the radiation from nuclear accidents has ever killed. Plus we also made a nice little climate change disaster on our little space ship Earth that's hurling through the Milky Way.
No need for future generations. Lots of people in this current generation think it's an absolutely poor idea to choose coal over nuclear.
So it seems to be able to open itself quite well:

Hmm, can someone explain to me why this has a non-Medium link in Hacker News but goes to a Medium webpage?
You used to be able to use a custom domain name on your Medium blog I think

Where are the super thin and light laptops that allow me to write emails, do light coding and browsing and SSH into other devices with 50 hours of battery life?
