You are looking to get into Machine Learning? You most certainly can
Because I believe that if an above-average student like me was able to do it, you all certainly can as well
Here's how I went from knowing nothing about programming to someone working in Data Science👇
when I started out, I knew nobody that worked or had knowledge of Data Science which made me try all sorts of different things that were not actually necessary.
I learned it out of curiosity and I had no idea about Machine Learning at this point.
The approach I took was just to make the same kind of programs I made in C but just replacing the syntax with that of python and practised those.
Already knowing a language made it easier.
I didn't have to have any idea about Machine Learning for the course. I completed that in almost a month and it gave me a good intuition of things and the flow of ML.
But after a lot of tries, I wasn't really able to do it. Because I was constantly encountering a lot of stuff things in code that I wasn't really aware of.
Even loading the CSV data seemed like a hard task.
The absolute necessary ones were
🔸Numpy
🔸Pandas
🔸Matplotlib
🔸Seaborn
🔸SciKit Learn
🔸Os (an important built-in package).
The practice of the taught concepts multiple times was necessary, I did that as much as I could and also read blogs on them
Different people solve the same problem differently and you read a lot of other people's code. From there on that's what kept me growing.
🔹Exploration and visualization of data
🔹How to approach a new problem
🔹Better code structure for implementing a machine learning solution
You don't have to be an absolute grandmaster of kaggle but plenty practice and patience is needed.
▪ Titanic Survival
▪ Spam Classification
▪ Movies Recommendation
▪ Boston House Pricing
▪ Churn Prediction
You'll kind of know your way from there, moving to harder problems slowly.
Learning the maths behind will keep things interesting if you won't enjoy that you will get bored pretty quickly.
And you are NOT too old or too young for this stuff
Look at these two guys @svpino @PrasoonPratham !

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”
Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?
A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:
2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to
- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal
3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:
Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.
Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.
4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?
To get clarity.
You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.
It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.
5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”
Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.

You'll usually get an explicit answer that you might not get otherwise. It also holds them accountable once the thing they need becomes true.

A brief analysis and comparison of the CSS for Twitter's PWA vs Twitter's legacy desktop website. The difference is dramatic and I'll touch on some reasons why.
Legacy site *downloads* ~630 KB CSS per theme and writing direction.
6,769 rules
9,252 selectors
16.7k declarations
3,370 unique declarations
44 media queries
36 unique colors
50 unique background colors
46 unique font sizes
39 unique z-indices
https://t.co/qyl4Bt1i5x
PWA *incrementally generates* ~30 KB CSS that handles all themes and writing directions.
735 rules
740 selectors
757 declarations
730 unique declarations
0 media queries
11 unique colors
32 unique background colors
15 unique font sizes
7 unique z-indices
https://t.co/w7oNG5KUkJ
The legacy site's CSS is what happens when hundreds of people directly write CSS over many years. Specificity wars, redundancy, a house of cards that can't be fixed. The result is extremely inefficient and error-prone styling that punishes users and developers.
The PWA's CSS is generated on-demand by a JS framework that manages styles and outputs "atomic CSS". The framework can enforce strict constraints and perform optimisations, which is why the CSS is so much smaller and safer. Style conflicts and unbounded CSS growth are avoided.
