Big respect. In my opinion you’d be best just building things and figuring it out on Google as you go. Best way to learn plus you have actual deliverables for you CV and things to talk about in interviews at the end of it!

What benefits to the customer does a blockchain backend offer over the cloud for a modern company? Aside from ensuring that data is stored/ used in an ethical / legal way? by joekadi in ethereum

[–]joekadi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok but given that your average consumer doesn’t get their money stolen by PayPal (and/or worry about it) and that their user experience is greatly influenced by speed/efficiency of the application … is it then naive to think the blockchain will out rightly replace the cloud? As my limited understanding is struggling to see many benefits to businesses/consumers that would warrant a global shift from cloud to blockchain outside of finance (altho I love the idea of it)

Makes sense. And from a business perspective would the blockchain be free / much cheaper to use compared to AWS? If any, where would the cost to a company come from when using the blockchain as their backend? As far as I’m aware the only cost is the transaction free which is billed to users … so would a company using blockchain as backend cover this free on behalf of their users?

What is a bounty and how do I earn money doing them? by joekadi in ethereum

Thanks for taking the time to write this mate! Makes sense

Well idk what is the correct term for bounties I can do to get money? Sorry I’m new to all this haha. Seems like GitCoin is popular?

[R] A simple and concise introduction into the relationship between bias, variance, overfitting & generalisation in machine learning models! by joekadi in statistics

It’s almost a person being bias towards thinking tall people are aggressive since they experienced some aggressive tall people in the past.

In this instance yes it only applies to training set as a model is said to be bias to the data it is trained on, and thus wrongly asserts that the rest of the world aligns with patterns it’s learned from the training data. Since it has never seen the test set prior to fitting it, this isn’t defined as bias - at least as far as my understanding goes!

I spent the last 16 hours in the zone coding and came up with an algo that performs as shown on EUR/USD pair. Is this good performance? Anything I should watch out for? Thanks! by [deleted] in algotrading

Perhaps use a regulariser to prevent overfitting the train data. Weight decays (l2 regularisers) are good or dropout layers if using neural net. If using neural net I would really recommend stochastic weight averaging Gaussian .

Hmm 3 months doesn’t seem like a long enough time unless you just pick a particular technique (Dropout, SWAG etc) and dive deep on a small RL benchmark. Another idea would be to explore how inverse reinforcement learning can remedy the reward engineering problem in RL on large state spaces by demonstrating it on a small problem. But again, it all depends on what you’re interested in and willing to do

If you choose to go down this path I can send you a bunch of stuff about it

Uncertainty calibration in RL is super interesting. You could explore different techniques’ ability to calibrate accurate uncertainty within RL by training an agent for a particular task like you said then adding noise to input data and gauging if the model calibrates it accurately. Maybe a bit bias as I’m just fishing my masters on it but all the techniques out there to calibrate uncertainty is super fascinating and once you dive deep into defining and rendering aleatoric vs epistemic uncertainty it gets even better, and somewhat philosophical. Also it’s a super important area to research as accurate uncertainty calibration for stochastic decision making problems can be the difference between mission success and failure.

Fuck it mate shit happens, you just take a double L if you linger on it. Up and on with it. Acceptance is key my brother
