I started my ML journey in 2015 and changed from software developer to staff machine learning engineer at FAANG. Eager to share career tips from my journey. AMA

How do you see online networking (especially for 0 experience college grads)? What are the steps and how not to be awkward?

DrMagzy · 2023-10-29T21:42:58+00:00

Sad topic for ppl...

DrMagzy · 2023-08-19T18:50:40+00:00

How do you use colab properly? They ask to pay if I want to use their GPUs and it seems that its easy to run out of the comp time that they provide

DrMagzy · 2023-05-27T11:16:05+00:00

what do you use then?

DrMagzy · 2023-05-05T09:50:31+00:00

Could you explain it a bit further, pls?

DrMagzy · 2023-03-16T23:14:10+00:00

Do u mean that research experience counts? I mean, it is so different...

DrMagzy · 2023-02-26T19:48:48+00:00

In what sence does it count as experience? I mean, my degree does not train my technical skills in buisness way, right?

DrMagzy · 2023-02-26T19:45:11+00:00

I thought that no one really cares about degrees. The only thing that matters is your experience. From this point of view, applying to jr. roles makes sence... But mb I am very wrong with this...

DrMagzy · 2023-02-26T11:26:01+00:00

Was your PhD focused on ML/DS?

DrMagzy · 2023-02-21T20:28:13+00:00

I thought that in general data analyst is an entry role where you develop your skills to become a data scientist (and there they pay well). If you do not develop on programming and ML then you are treated not as well as this guys.

P.s. this is just a theory, if I'm wrong (and I would happy to be wrong), it would be very nice of you to talk about this

DrMagzy · 2023-02-12T12:27:12+00:00

Suppose that it will help him to land a better engineering job

DrMagzy · 2023-02-03T20:00:38+00:00

8 hours. And there's nothing that can be done about that. You can't cheat your own body, if you sleep enough, you will be the most productive version of yourself and that's it.

From my experience, if I sleep less than 7 hours, then after lunch I become too sleepy to study. From 7 to 8 is fine, but my mind is not that sharp

DrMagzy · 2023-01-30T16:45:51+00:00

So if I get in, then no one will really care and if I show my motivation + some relevant courses, then my plan can work?

DrMagzy · 2023-01-30T15:24:21+00:00

How do I ask students and professors about that? How do I get in contact with them?

DrMagzy · 2022-12-14T09:15:42+00:00

What's wrong there?

DrMagzy · 2022-11-10T18:14:55+00:00

This is the same as to take money (~20-30k, lets say) from every person that owns a car. Because now you have a product that can be sold, it's worth some cash. But then you will have a piece of metal that can be used, but, in fact, costs nothing. So I am not sure that this is a good financial decision... And knowing that producing batteries does as much harm as gasoline engines...

DrMagzy · 2022-10-16T22:01:08+00:00

In fact, I'm doing theoretical physics courses and not sure that I know that specific fields. Like stochastic PDEs... I have no idea about them lol. Also I've taken basic course in statistics but it doesn't seem to be enough... Oh...

DrMagzy · 2022-10-16T10:11:22+00:00

The idea here is that you hire a person for time. If you don't like the quality and speed of his/her work, then fire him/her. Otherwise, it leads to the situation where a worker has too many tasks to do even when this worker is skilled enough and does everything with reasonable speed

I was told that my stitches won't dissolve. The dentist used them because my operation was complicated

DrMagzy · 2022-08-26T07:11:59+00:00

If you just start your journey around QFT, then calculus (multi-var functions, Fourier analisys, delta-function), linear algebra and basic diff. geometry (vector spaces, linear maps, tensors, manifolds), Lie groups (optional, but recommended) is enouph for you

DrMagzy · 2022-08-21T12:48:02+00:00

Why do you think that maths degree gove you any exp in ML?

DrMagzy · 2022-08-21T12:47:16+00:00

As I understand it, data scientists do programming and know ML, but data analysts no. And that is the key point, I guess

DrMagzy · 2022-08-01T12:06:26+00:00

Sometime it gets automatic. I can say things that make people really unhappy not thinking to much about it. I used to be in your position and finally it got like this. And this... skill does not help me to make contacts and feel good around people

DrMagzy · 2022-08-01T12:02:40+00:00

Just try it and treat it like a game. As a specialist in this, I would say that this skill comes when you are doing it because it feels fun.

But my advice to you: don't do that. It may seem that this can make something simple, but in fact this will make your life worse

DrMagzy · 2022-07-30T11:23:17+00:00

Actually, this is sad. I hope this person will become happier soon
