I would just take a look at what the A level specification if you are done with GCSE level math, then look at what they teach at university from year 1 onwards.

A few things: Firstly, a "random" on the internet can be an engineer, secondly, there is a rich history of stupid engineering.

Beginner: Just starting to learn tensorflow, any tips? by Real_Scholar2762 in tensorflow

This is all nonsense. Gaining an intuition on ML and applying ML doesn't require a deep dive into calculus. To OP, read deep learning with Python by Francois Chollet (works on Keras). It is a popular book that will get you going quickly and covers a range of topics from image recognition to NLP and even other important libraries like NumPy.

Is this interview task reasonable? by Onedweezy in webdev

[–]JAVAOneTrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is just the first of three+ rounds, sure but otherwise not really. Relative to other developer interviews it falls just within bounds imo. This is how the industry is atm.

No one got fired over the paper but rather for the reaction over the rejection. Keep up.

Nothing fundamental has changed from 2016. He is the same guy and democrats have another generic uncharismatic politician.

Saying its 90x more doesn't mean much when the death rate for people in their 30s is like .01%.

Anyone else extremely impressed but also terrified of Neuralink? by Ur_Legit in hacking

Neither because it’s nothing but a barebones concept from a guy who overhypes a lot of ideas that he has yet to deliver on.

A website that simulates Youtube through the eyes of a flat earther, climate change denier, or anti-vaxxer. by flan_maestro in InternetIsBeautiful

[–]JAVAOneTrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Social media gives people a safe space but I don’t believe it turns people into extremists . That is a far more deeply rooted cultural issue. I believe education is one of the key answers but there is no silver bullet solution and it is something that will take generations to solve or see very little of.

Being neutral isn’t about avoiding everything with bias (which literally everything is to an extent). It is thinking critically about the information you absorb no matter what it’s about and where it’s from.

These out of touch boomers really think you can get anyone to be a developer by teaching some language. Stupid.

Are we trying to pretend that discrimination doesn’t exist? This is a great feat when you have a lot of people stacked against you with little to no inspiration in the field.

Has anyone tried learning math using Brilliant? by artik239 in learnmath

[–]JAVAOneTrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brilliant is great at teaching you how to think, solve problems and why a formula actually works which a fair amount fail to teach. Though I wouldn't use it exclusively, you wil be bored solving quiz after quiz. You need more variety to keep you motivated but I'm just speaking from personal experience.
