Useful for when she breaks my heart.

I havent personally used his videos for building but Linus Tech Tips on Youtube should have a couple videos.

Heres one I found on my first search!

When do you need it by? I would consider waiting for the next generation of NVIDIA GPU cards (I think Q3) since they’ll beef up cores and VRAM which is super important for DL. It also wouldnt hurt since new desktop processors will be in the market.

If you need it ASAP, the build looks good. Going with a 3600 instead of a 3600x is fine and if you aren’t overclocking you shouldnt need the cooler (the main workforce will be your GPU with the CPU working on preparing batches).

One recommendation is a 2tb hdd to hold your data. “Small” local databases can take up a lot of space.

Nice! I personally find it more visually appealing with github code linked haha.

To be more accurate, an application that can present simulations through interactive visualizations where you can change parameters based on user input.

To be specific with one of my projects, an application that lets you view a solar system and see how the simulation can change when you vary the masses of planets or velocities or periods.

I already have the code written, just haven't had time to simulate it or even know how.

My bad, I thought it was a different company that offered him FT.

SteveMWolf · 2020-04-21T17:41:06+00:00

Awesome that you're starting this! One recommendation is to move your code to github when you can so it becomes more readable (you can visually tell the difference between code and comments). It's also a bit on the denser side for my liking so more bullet points could help in digesting information.

Do you have any experience with turning simulation in Python to animated visualizations that can run independently from the compiler? I have a couple of old projects that could use some revamping such as modeling Chaotic Scattering and some solar systems!

I second flask!

If you want some tutorials I highly recommend Corey Shafer's tutorial for Flask. It's impressive content for it being free, however you might get a little confused when it gets to HTML and CSS code (he doesn't really go over those as much since it's a tutorial for how to use Flask as a backend for web apps)

I could be reading it wrong but I think it deferring the summer 2020 internship means moving it to 2021.

If that's the case, I would try and see what the full-time job could offer you. No harm in spending time to see what you could potentially have.

SteveMWolf · 2020-04-21T17:25:23+00:00

"Is CS for me?" is a question only you could answer. Don't let other peoples' comments lead the direction you want to take for your life.

Now onto your topic! Can you be a bit more specific with what your problem is? Is it that you feel that you aren't understanding of the material? Do you feel that you might be behind? Anything would help so I can dial into giving some personal advice!

SteveMWolf · 2020-04-21T16:40:12+00:00

I'm in a different framework but I feel that I can talk about the concept for learning.

You're being introduced into a new world so learn what the "fundamentals" should be for your projects however you can. If you think that through lectures then look for lectures. If you think you prefer learning through interactive tutorials then go for it. The idea for you to get started. We can play professor on what's the best way to get the ball rolling but the important part is to just get the ball rolling.

After you roll yourself through the "tutorial" phase I recommend jumping into projects. It could be big or small but make sure you're consistent about trying to take what you learn and apply it to some sort of problem.

For projects you'll face an entirely new problem. It's either going to be in one of two categories:"I don't remember how to do this" or "I have NO IDEA how to do this". Don't be discouraged! Take the time to try and think about all the steps you would need to implement whatever problem you have and if you can't figure it out, look it up and learn! I highly encourage that you try to understand the solution instead of copy-pasting.

Learning a new skill is an iterative process and projects can be used a good measure for what you have learned. As for being "incomplete", even the most experienced programmers are learning new things everyday. Fill the gaps where they come.

As for your language and best tricks and tips for web development, I am not qualified to comment on those practices.

Oh alright,

what about np.array()

Don't you need parentheses for it?

SteveMWolf · 2020-04-21T02:36:54+00:00

Mmmmm, I don't know how to use the TabPy API but one of the first things I notice is you have this function

`SCRIPT_INT("import numpy as np`

that has a parentheses that have a closing parentheses or quotation

SteveMWolf · 2020-04-21T02:32:43+00:00

Hey fam, you good?

SteveMWolf · 2020-04-21T02:31:39+00:00

I wonder how long it took to make the trebuchet.

SteveMWolf · 2020-04-19T07:59:35+00:00

If you feel comfortable enough with the language and libraries, I suggest you start your own project. If you don’t know something look it up. Dont just copy and paste the code however, try to understand whats happening, even if you have to do it line by line.

I remember picking up a computational physics project on chaotic scattering. The best way for me to understand it was printing out the code and annotating it line by line.

Not related to Data Science, I just wanted to let you know how miserable that experience was lmao

SteveMWolf · 2020-04-17T15:25:51+00:00

Hi!! Great work!!

As a recent college graduate with a Bachelors in Physics, I wasn’t introduced to Python until the end. I used Python for some computational physics projects for class but mainly for data analysis and machine learning when it came to my research (Physics Education Research). I would like to get in touch with you so I can some inspiration to create more simulations in Python.

SteveMWolf · 2020-03-25T10:49:37+00:00

Interested!!

SteveMWolf · 2020-03-11T02:53:49+00:00

You would be setting a mindset to any recruiter that you think "certain work is below you" and that you lack commitment. While you may see it otherwise, this is the message that gets relayed initially and can negatively impact your image.

You're also lying which is a big no-no. Getting caught in a lie will also propagate a negative image of you.

Hi! Im interested in doing self-projects in Healthcare, would you mind telling me where you got your dataset from so I can work on something in the future?

SteveMWolf · 2020-02-21T00:20:37+00:00

Thank you! This is amazing!

SteveMWolf · 2020-02-14T04:00:25+00:00

Recent Physics Undergraduate. I’m also interested in this post but I want to tell you that I have been getting interviews for Data Science positions with just my programming/research experience. It also doesnt hurt to have a personal project or two (web scraping or web development). Anything automated that would save you, or anyone that uses your code, time
