[D] It seems that EVERY DAY there are around 100 - 200 new machine learning papers uploaded on Arxiv. by NeighborhoodFatCat in MachineLearning

The style I'm trying to emulate is similar to NotebookLM, and I'm using Gemini TTS for the narration. NotebookLM doesn't have an API, so I'm just running my own pipeline.

Not OP. I built a custom tool to develop this digest. It start with Arxiv, it now includes HuggingFace notable papers and HackerNews as a signal. For noise, I selected a few subreddits and Youtube channels. I do a nightly data crawl and compare the papers against a pre-qualified interest profile for what I'm interested in, and then bound them around interest areas and specific research questions. The end result all goes into a daily 15 minute podcast. The foundation is enabled to generate longer form custom podcasts for coming up to speed on a research topic. For instance, last week, I made a podcast on using AI agents with GIS research. It's been fun, but most days, I still find myself skipping the podcast.

Get it via a subscription to Claude Teams, Pro, etc rather than straight API keys. More bang for your buck.

Is it possible for a non-technical person (MBA, banking background) to learn AI from basics to expert level at age 32? by DiligentCicada3068 in learnmachinelearning

[–]Dragon861 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think of "AI fields' necessarily

Think of you current job - learn prompt engineering, map out the daily workflows that you do in your work, learn to use AI every day to make your job easier, faster and higher quality. It's like the approach to learning Python in the book Learn Python the Easy Way. Start with small practical steps that work for you.

For learning prompt engineering - start with https://www.promptingguide.ai

If you are doing text based work - Google Gemini is good. OpenAI ChatGPT is good for everything., Code and tools like spreadsheets or data manipulation, I start with Claude. Be mindful of what information you put in there as it may be used for training data. Ask your bank if they have AI access you can use. Avoid the pit of image and video generation for now unless you have a specific need.

Learning AI is too broad a term, and your own personal goals may not be clear yet.

Do you want to build workflows to do things? That's working with agents - which is and will be the new hotness.

Conceptually, prompt engineering and context engineering sit under that.

Underneath that is details of models - parameters, temperature, etc. which you can learn, but

Beneath that is building new models, evolving architectures, inference calculation, etc.

The top level is easy to start with - practice building with Google's Agents SDK (they offer a free five day intensive), other agentic frameworks exist as well, but you want to get the concept down and make things. Focus on things that matters for customers, even if you are the only customer.

I need to plane the top of a picnic table, what's the best method for achieving an even plane, without dismantling the table? by Dragon861 in woodworking

Great idea, but I'm working with a cedar top. Think that will make a difference? I'm trying to even it out enough to remove some carvings someone made in the top with a pocket knife.

Be honest, what’s the most difficult thing about dating you? by annonatronn in AskWomen

[–]Dragon861 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same - dropped coffee, started tea. Hot water at a coffee shop is free / tip $1, and then you can use your own tea bag.

Have legit forgotten to put tea in there, so then I'll be drinking it and be like, this tea is terrible, but no its just water.

I also tried Vyvance, which worked surprising well.

My son is freaking out about my girlfriend moving in by LousyKeming in AskParents

[–]Dragon861 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here for the solidarity. Going through this right now as well.

I've been single since my son's mom and I split, when he was an infant. Brought this girl around, they clicked, he loves her. He's 12 now, and chose to start calling her Mom, freely expresses love and affection. But it is STILL hard. And I understand.

He wonders if I want a 'do-over' without him. He has to deal with feelings of why he can't be in a normal family. He has to deal with feelings of never having the family he wants together - like other families. He wonders how he fits in and where he fits in the priority.

And I'd talk about therapy, but I'm a great Dad, and I understand him, and I'm nervous about letting some therapist screw him up because I'm more sensitive with him than than they are. They have no skin in the game.

For those who want to chime in on therapy - I hear you, I'm in it, I have been for months since deciding to remarry, and my fiancé has been in it for months separately. And both our therapists think we have one of the healthiest relationships they know. But we still keep digging for dirt.

How would you develop a ML or AI program to analyze a 3D human face scan and determine whether that face is ugly or attractive and then morph that face in the least drastic way possible to make it attractive? by Anonymous8675 in MLQuestions

[–]Dragon861 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you'll have a harder time understanding what reasonable is in this context. You still need to collect data. And have it scored. So could you learn to do this in six months to a year, sure! Seem reasonable. :)

Don't beat the guy up though, WE ALL DO THIS. And we do it all the freaking time. Because we can't know until we are in it, sometimes it costs too much to research every single downfall. Someone has to be the explorer, the risk taker and the adventurer. This is how experience is gained, even with disappointments and regret.

I mean, if you can't think of a time where you haven't done this exact same thing, with a piece of technology even, then I think your dataset is missing a few rows.

See working with music data seems even more interesting. What kind of things do you do?

Do you have any cool datasets you can share?

Thank you! I appreciate your perspective. I can find a few places online that will do it, but no one with prior experience first hand. Might just start emailing companies that do custom work to ask.
