Ask HN: Year Deep Dive in ML
I'm planning to spend significant time this year on ML and I'm looking for advice, feedback from people that did it successfully.
I have quite a lot (>10Y) of experience in software and everything data already, and at some distant point in the past I did play with NNs a bit - I have a decent (for a non practitioner) understanding - but that was before LLM, transformers.
I'm not necessarily looking to learn things that could get me a job in the field in the short term, but much more on developing a deep understanding of underlying concepts, play with new architectures.
I watched some Yann LeCun talks recently and I quite agree with his view that current trajectory of improving LLMs is a waste of time. It also makes me think about the Capsule Networks (which were looking promising last time I checked, but apparently disappeared completely by now).
So: 1. What resources would you recommend 2. Any advice from your 'journey' 3. What are good forums where one can ask questions

Few people are 'cut out' for programming in the traditional way
Nobody is truly that "cut out" for programming. We might be emotional and biological machines, but we aren't logical circuit boards. As humans, we are wired to appreciate patterns in life and relationships, not binary 1s and 0s. However, coding patterns like decision trees, loops, recursions, etc. also do feel interesting to us as long as they produce interesting and utilitarian software which feels like magic.
But when the drudgery of programming sets in and all you're seeing is just heaps and mounds of instructions that need hours to fathom their working, even the best of programmers feel like leaving the field and running away! And that's exactly why things like no-code, low-code, AI assisted development, frameworks and packages, etc. are becoming so popular increasingly. Humans aren't "natural" programmers in that sense, they're primarily story tellers and meaning seekers in life.
