"Meanwhile, I’m over here asking ChatGPT to rewrite the same paragraph for the third time because it keeps defaulting me into ‘LinkedIn wisdom post’ mode. GARH."

Did they tell it to write it differently? You can literally make it sound like a pirate if you want. You can also make it be conservative, non-hype. Just ask.

Go’s restraint in adding new language features is a real gift to its users. In contrast, Swift feels like a moving target: even on a Mac Studio I’ll occasionally fail to compile a simple project. The expanding keyword list and nonstop churn make Swift harder to learn—and even harder to keep up with.

"Though BGP supports the traditional Flow-based Layer 3 Equal Cost Multi-Pathing (ECMP) traffic load balancing method, it is not the best fit for a RoCEv2-based AI backend network. This is because GPU-to-GPU communication creates massive elephant flows, which RDMA-capable NICs transmit at line rate. These flows can easily cause congestion in the backend network."

The whole end to end system seems pointless. If you want to learn ethics you can do so with ChatGPT alone. It can provide you interesting questions, review your papers, argue against you etc. The university is providing no value.

Make the smoothest learning gradient possible. It helps a lot with kids to increase the complexity over time. Riding a full bike has a steep learning curve. Riding a bike with training wheels then taking them off is a steep transition. Avoid large discontinuities.

If you assume that the std lib creates a collections package, there could be helper types will for primitives. No Java style auto boxing, but more in the Go style. These could also be used in a refactored math package.

One example is chess positions. I render them in Unity and take screenshots to determine if my ML architecture and loss function can read the board from just and image.

Does anyone have experience using blender for ML simulation data? How does it compare to Unity? I’m using Unity for generating synthetic images and RL learning.

Dropping out of college was the hardest and best decision I ever made. It literally never came up that I didn’t have a degree and i started my career without debt. But have a plan and don’t drop out until you are making money from something else.

I loved building my chess library and would encourage other developers to try it. It is large and complex enough to test your abilities. Building it in a idiomatic, testable, and performant way really encourages software engineering skills instead of just coding. I felt like I didn’t really write solid go code until I finished my chess library.
