I go everyday but started just using Sundays for walks outside.

30min resistance and 30min "Jeffing" (called the run-walk method, run-walk-run).

Saturdays since I have more time 1:30hr resistance, 1hr-2hr cycling outside.

Eating healthy is also important, cook for yourself always. Meal prepping saves so much money.

I think time is also against me and life is moving quickly that if I don't spend everyday on body and mind its a wasted day.

Meh, I took a couple Hugging Face courses, I might not take them again.

The grading system forces you to write specifically to pass their LLM grading system, terrible design. Maybe its gotten better I had to constantly look up how to write the correct answer just to pass their automatic grading system. Not a good way to learn and time wasted.

Karpathy videos posted here are GOLD.

thats depressing

Yeah, mining stone for someone's "free" palace for who knows how many lifetimes is no fun.

Great resource Jeremy Howard is awesome, I have been waiting to take this course and follow along because anything older than a year in Deep Learning is already outdated. I hope they release a new version.

I don’t think this is true. The fast.ai class covers a lot of fundamentals that are still valid and useful today.

Eh I am still not convinced that this will be good UI. I wish they would have put a one 1px white border around the glass UI button elements or something small like this to enhance it just a little better. I will have to use it to really get a feeling... Also that switch toggle shown in the video looks weird its so satisfying turning on/off a switch UI element without anything else interfering with such a simple concept.

I have liked MacOS UI upgrades over the years though, I am glad we don't use the brushed metal anymore :)

It is funny, when they showed how easy to ignore all the Apple TV menus would be, all I could think was my consistent opines to various elderly TV users who I’ve complained to about smart TV/TV app menus.

“I just want the ugliest, highest-contrast menus possible, with everything labeled in large font“

I agree, this only is useful for passive learning from watching lecture videos, which is not an ideal way to soak in the material. Even if the quizzes and assignments are just instructions id be happy to experiment on my own.

Great post! It's always interesting to see the experiences of fellow peers going through Math Academy.

It took myself 2 1/2 months to complete Mathematics for Machine Learning on Math Academy last year (2024) working through reading material, taking notes, and completing all the exercises took all day everyday I loved it, this was after I completed Khan Academy (starting from the beginning of mathematics negative numbers, to the end differential equations) because I kept putting it off for years when I got to busy.

The main thing for me was learning not to get too frustrated when getting an answer wrong. If I made a mistake, I focused on understanding what went wrong, looking up youtube videos on the topic if it was confusing, and then trying again.

At the end of a lesson I wish I had someone to bounce questions off of but thats when I used chatGPT.

Congrats!

Thanks for reading my blog! M4ML is the next course for me after I complete MF3. What are you doing now on math academy!

Yeah! Unfortunately at the time I had gotten laid of from work so I had extra time just not extra $ to keep paying monthly subscription, also some courses still said coming soon at least the ones I wanted to take when I was taking M4ML.

Good Luck with M4ML its a great course! Covers a lot, I was impressed, wish there was some videos or more visuals but it doesn't hurt to use youtube. I took maybe 7 pages of notes on my github and each over 4000-8000 lines (I used the notes to do the step by step exercises it was easier for me to type notes and do the exercises on computer than pen and paper this is what I used to do).

I take the notes because I will probably forget, but I think its key to always be learning and keep practicing even when your done the course.

Once I get hired again I will def take Discrete Mathematics. In the mean time I've just read books on ML and LLMs, free online courses, youtube videos etc.

I understand the feeling. You'll get another job soon and be back to crushing math problems on math academy. Thanks I'm excited for M4ML a lot. I feel like I'll experience math in a way I never have before. Would you be willing to share your github of notes?

Could you have completed the entire curriculum on your own using ChatGPT without needing Math Academy?

I am open if you just want to network as well, thank you.

Not me, I wish I could take back my college $ on courses that used extensive Dreamweaver and Flash. I guess we can't predict the future.
