Ask HN: Where to find open data sets to play around with to learn ML?

And of course don't ignore the data you can collect yourself one way or another. A few cheap Arduino Nano or Rpi Pico boards, some sensors, and you can build quite a variety of distributed data collection systems. Use solar panels for power in remote areas, and 4G / cellular data networks and you can get data from all over the place. You can also use a cheap SDR "dongle" to pull down data from various weather satellites and other sources. And don't forget about the API's / data export mechanisms for apps you might use like Fitbit, Strava, MapMyRun, etc.

Thank you!

In a few applications of ML that I've worked with, there is no need for an outside dataset because the program generates it's own data. For example, the data could come from a simulation of some process.
