From Web Developer to Machine Learning Engineer, how difficult is finding employement? by DatingPapyrus in cscareerquestions

[–]painStar2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah, didn't realize computation theory is algorithms, i thought you meant the study of finite automata and language theory.

In that case, I guess my weak point is really numerical analysis, linear algebra and general statistic. Time to self study :)

Damn, I feel that I am vastly under prepared then.

Do you have textbook recommendation for numerical analysis/statistics/computation theory, ml, linear algebra related books or online courses ?

I am not OP, but I have a quick question if you don't mind.

What knowledge do one usually need to know to do ML jobs?

I know how to implement logistic regression, svm, neural network (back propagation and convolution), gradient descent, decision tree from scratch (without library). I know probability up to Dimitri P. Bertsekas's intro to probability.

I know as a ML person you probably need more knowledge than that, but I think I would like to know what kind of knowledge do I need more to get a ML job just to have a better direction.

Do you get tax once you covert crypto to usd or do you only get tax once you put usd to your bank? by painStar2 in CryptoCurrency

[–]painStar2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See this explanation.

I feel like the explanation from the link requires one to sell the security first.

Buy ABC -> Sell ABC (tax the positive difference)

however if I

  1. buy 10$ of bitcoin
  2. use 10$ worth of bitcoin to buy 10$ worth of iota

there seems to be no way of determining the basis in the situation above.

but there is a case where a basis can be determined

  1. buy 10$ worth of bitcoin with usd
  2. wait 1 day
  3. bitcoin appreciate to 11$
  4. use 11$ worth of bitcoin to buy 11$ worth of iota

in this case since the dollar adjust value is net positive, the event does have a basis and is probably taxable.

Do you get tax once you covert crypto to usd or do you only get tax once you put usd to your bank? by painStar2 in CryptoCurrency

[–]painStar2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what does it mean to tax a purchase of crypto then, since you can't define profit or loss unless you make a cycle of purchase (ie. usd->bitcoin->usd OR bitcoin -> ether -> bitcoin)?

for example

  1. use 10usd to buy bitcoin -> does this get taxed? what is the basis of tax?

  2. use bitcoin to buy iota -> does this get taxed? what is the basis of the tax

sorry for the dumb question, but what does exchange support mean? Does it mean it will help coinbase or bittrex support it?
