sujayk_33··on Ask HN: What's the best book(s) to grasp statistics?
was gonna say the same
sujayk_33··on Ask HN: How do I get out of learning loop
It sounds like, you need a break from all this. Just Restart yourself and you'll see the change.

and also don't expect things

I don't even have a CS degree, I'm just a self-taught but then I kept trying and caught a break with an internship, it paid me more than $600 a month and I didn't even ask for it, they offered it generously.

sujayk_33··on Ask HN: Have you developed any habits to be more productive?
Great post and it hits the spot.
sujayk_33··on Ask HN: Have you developed any habits to be more productive?
Than the time you were not
sujayk_33··on Ask HN: Have you developed any habits to be more productive?
LoL, I noticed that just now that and you're right, it does sound like it but it's a genuine questions
sujayk_33··on Ask HN: What is your ChatGPT customization prompt?
Rather than providing a long prompt, I rather use chain of thoughts method to get it to work and mention exactly what I want and what I don't.
sujayk_33··on Ask HN: Will AI tech, like LLM, keep needing tons of computing power?
From the recent statements of Yan lecun , he advised not to work on llms saying you can't bring innovation and it is in the hands of tech giants...
sujayk_33··on Ask HN: What's the best way to learn machine learning in 2024?
I would say, to get started just take any course to understand the basics and start building and implementing what you've learnt. I advise you not to get stuck in the loop where you are just learning or reading some concepts but not actually coding them. Look for existing projects, add your own touch to it and make it more meaningful.

And don't compare yourself with what others are building.

sujayk_33··on Ask HN: Have your search results gotten worse recently?
True ;)

But the current situation is like "Out of the frying pan and into the fire"

I was using ChatGPT first then when Bing Copilot was released, I turned to it only to find out, it was even dumber and needed more prompting and there comes the prompt length

I prefer using the HN search engine instead..

sujayk_33··on Ask HN: Figuring Out My 20s

sujayk_33··on Ask HN: Figuring Out My 20s
Ohh right, I meant the latter
sujayk_33··on Ask HN: Figuring Out My 20s
No, I enrolled in 2020
sujayk_33··on Tell HN: A note of gratitude to the people providing answers over here
Already I'm not too fond of this entire hiring process(although it is changing slowly), why can't recruiters look at the social profiles, and the work the candidate has done in the past and if you like it, invite him/her for an hour casual chat to get to know their goals and ambitions and that chat will tell you how passionate the candidate is about the technology.

Most candidates underperform in this recruiting process and that uncertain feeling of not being enough(sometimes).

sujayk_33··on Ask HN: What nonfiction books do you keep rereading?
Atomic Habits by James Clear - The art of showing up has been effective and it worked for me.

The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy - You get what you've put your soul into

Shoe Dog by Phil Knight - I love the storytelling by the author, you can hear Phil telling this story himself.

sujayk_33··on Ask HN: Can Devin genuinely replace the roles of developers?
The thing that might replace won't be Devin, if we are going to make a one-for-all solution, it just won't work.

If we are talking about a specific use case black box to automate the work, then it might be possible up to a certain limit.

because when we are talking about training Neural networks, we are looking for the best numbers. The so-called "emergent abilities" which say that increasing model size makes it smart can be true but what's the probability of getting most of the parameters to their correct values? There are billions of them.

(Total)Replacement? I highly doubt that.

sujayk_33··on Ask HN: Can Devin genuinely replace the roles of developers?
It's like when a person goes too deep into CP, he just overfits in it and might just not come out of that phase, where you are given the problem and you are supposed to get the pre-defined solution.

It's not the case in real-life, the main problem is to detect the problem and then find the optimal solution. So unless you blend into it, get the test of CP, develop logic and get outside, build projects and keep moving, the field is vast, don't keep knocking same door everyday.

sujayk_33··on Ask HN: How did you get better at Open-Source?
Thanks!
sujayk_33··on Ask HN: I want to create IMDB for open source projects
In implementing this, the metric should reflect the frequency of the changes in that repo, coz trending repos are sometimes already dead but are still there because of recent stars they got.
sujayk_33··on The feud between Elon Musk and Sam Altman explained
I believe this is going to be interesting as I find this OpenAI scene indeed fishy. It's like they are taking advantage of having a superior product.

OpenAI was supposed to create AI for humanity but after realizing the worth of their product in the market they closed their gates. They haven't even released any information regarding the data they use for training their LLMs.

They seem to be raising money from investors to pour into new startups that are powered by OpenAI products(Like a fund manager?).

In the space where companies like Meta, and Apple are open-sourcing. It's only obvious to reciprocate if you are calling yourself a non-profit and acting totally for profit.

This lawsuit will bring a lot of mysteries and will be interesting to follow along. The Hot Chick in AI seems to be in trouble this time.

sujayk_33··on Ask HN: What would make you say "I want to hire this devloper?"
The way he/she manages time.
sujayk_33··on Tell HN: Alt+Ctrl+Shift+Windows+L Opens LinkedIn on Windows
That's a lot of effort, don't you think?
sujayk_33··on Ask HN: How long have you been programming and what have you realized?
Hoping for 3rd point to activate soon!
sujayk_33··on Ask HN: How many RSS feeds do you subscribe to?
Can you read that much content?
sujayk_33··on Ask HN: How do you learn and research every day?
I can vouch for that, Duolingo is a very good example, it creates that urge to complete the lesson so that we don't break that streak.

It also helped me in habit stacking, which led to better productivity too. routines help.

sujayk_33··on Ask HN: Does procrastination advice help you?
Unfortunately not, at least for not me.

It feels nice to read it or watch it but unless we decide to change, it's not going to happen and decision fatigue is the main cause of this. Making fewer decisions will help.

I like to call it "The Curse of Decision Making" which is upon us.

Length of watch/read laters ∝ Magnitude of Procrastination.

sujayk_33··on Ask HN: Do you get lazy during burnout?
I think that achieving small victories is the best way to overcome this burnout period. Until you get that "Yeah, I did it" moment. It'll just keep dragging.

Cut off from your work, don't even think about it, and start again.

After knowing that Spotify does provide with our streaming data, I couldn't wait to get my hands on my streaming data and get some insights, so I did. Here are the things that I found out about myself and why I think everyone should try too.
