It's been a week. Let them cook!

Trump was nearly assassinated twice this year-- 3 times if you count the Iranian plot that didn't get out of the planning phase.

It looks like he was summoning a person to comment.

Yeah. They do, but the certificates aren't free and wouldn't necessarily contribute to a degree anywhere, so I'm not sure what the advantage would be of doing it that way.

To give you a sense of the level of content, here's an introductory class in ML.

Yeah. the CUNY one is definitely meant for career switching, but the Georgia tech one will probably expect you to know the math fields listed above as it is fairly competitive. Though, I know someone with an Economics bachelors who did quite well in the CUNY program. They even offer an introductory course for people with 0 programming experience. I really do think it would a good fit, given your background. Link here. A head's up though-- graduate degrees will require more independent work than undergraduate did. Like, course meetings were less lectures explaining new content and more answering specific questions after you learn the content on your own. I was expected to have completed the homework before the topic was covered in class (though it wasn't graded for correctness). I would say that's the categorical difference with advanced degrees.

I'd spend some time on Khan Academy to brush up/catch up on the basic math concepts. That's where I learned those topics.

I know you asked for some kind of personal interaction, but that content is the gold standard for math education. You can always ping me if you have specific questions and I'll do my best to respond.

I work in the field. Generally, jobs that include AI development generally require advanced degrees and the vast majority require a PhD with peer reviewed publications in major conferences. You will be fighting an uphill battle if you don't have an advanced degree in mathematics or computer science. You also need to know calculus, linear algebra and statistics to understand how modern machine learning models work.

In short, while online courses can be perfectly effective, unless they're through an accredited higher education institution, I don't think it will help you compete with other applicants who have 8+ years of schooling and published papers.

That being said, Georgia Tech and the City University of New York both offer master's degrees in data science via remote master's programs where the courses happen after work hours and are meant to be completed while working full-time.

work in academia. The peer reviews are far more brutal than existing on the internet.

Purchasing power parity isn't used to measure purchasing power?

Fuck. I might have to discard my multiple advanced degrees in mathematics.

I'm not arguing in bad faith. I'm sharing my opinion, backed by my own research experience in Cybersecurity and AI that this seems incredibly unlikely and kindly provided a source for the numbers I cited while you continuously insult me.

Occam's razor would suggest that everyone who disagrees with you on the internet isn't a simp for Russia and that a diversity of opinions is natural.

I've not said anything positive about Russia at all-- just that their PPP is higher than Japan's, which isn't an opinion at all.

[–] simplymath@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

No. I'm saying the US had the technological capability to stop missiles from flying at all, the financial power to make life difficult for the Bibi regime, the political power to back the ICJ, and is in no way compelled to reprint IDF propaganda to sway the American electorate towards their pro-settler policies, but they failed on all counts. The US made Iranian nuclear refineries shake themselves apart, but US tech companies now build AI tools to aid the IDF in their campaign of total destruction.

Maybe the ceasefire wouldn't have been total, but the polls clearly showed that the lack of effort would (and did) cost them the election.

Why are you insulting me for disagreeing with you?

Why is it that everyone who disagrees with you is a foreign agent?

How am I being pro Russia? I called them oligarchic AND pointed out that any strength implied by that graph is due from war expenditures and not some underlying strength.

if PPP wasn't a useful indicator of purchasing power, it probably wouldn't be called purchasing power parity and be published by the World Bank.

My only claim here is that it would be silly to waste time on Lemmy when there are bigger and easier fish to fry. I'm not even denying Russian propagandists exist and called Tim Pool a shill.

I am incredibly amused that this somehow adds up to being a Russian troll rather than someone who can hear and acknowledge opinions that are different than my own.

Good luck with the whole fascism thing. I'm sure your echo chamber will win the election next time!

lol. Didn't realize the world bank was a Russian asset. My bad.

Scandinavia often has these three-walled cabins available on a first-come, first-served basis. In Swedish, they're called vindskydd, or wind shelter. This particular one is northeast of Umeå, Sweden. No guarantees on what they're called elsewhere, but I have seen them in Finland as well. And I have heard of but not seen of them in Norway. In general, the freedom to roam is quite strong in these three countries as long as you are respectful and stay out of obviously private spaces like personal gardens or farm fields. Happy travels!

Camping opportunities are relatively rare in Europe, but this island in Malta has cheap camping. on the other inhabited islands (Malta and Good), public transit, restrooms, and wifi are plentiful and local food is extremely cheap. You can get local tfira for a couple euros or a passtizzi filled with peas or cheese for even less. With an ultralight pack, all of Gozo is walkable, though the island of Malta is split by a largely impassable highway. I'd recommend the bus for €2.50.
