How do people build things like this? Is there a package that helps at all, or is it really just fighting with CSS for a few months to get it how you want it?


This is with threeJS


Is the latter how we get the former?


WebGL


What else is in that folder?

I'd love to see a segment/page/row added for Data Science.

- thinks Pandas is a subreddit

- said they have dplyr in his Magic deck

- saw data mining in a documentary about bitcoin once


He probably knew COBOL at one point. He used to write in FoxPro for the longest time. He had an old CompuServe email before we got Juno. My first email was tagged on with his Juno account in the late 90s.


I like the "Rescue us from Access" angle. That has good promise. He's never written a line of JavaScript in his life, so I doubt he'll want to do App Scripts, but that's another good one. Thanks.


I'm not sure how this will be received, but I'm learning a lot through following Jeremy Howard. He's a huge PyTorch fan and he's spent the last 3 years trying to figure out what people like you need. He launched a course called FastAI and a DL library by the same name. His aim is to help anybody do it that wants to, with or without code.

I just found a resource a few months ago that I'd love to recommend, but haven't started yet. It's mentorship you pay for, but not up front. You sign a contract to pay a certain percentage after you're hired. I plan on going through this program if my current job leads don't pan out.

Mentorship: https://sharpestminds.com

I'm interested in comments about either program in general. Speaking as someone who also has an EE degree, went through a web development bootcamp, and was disappointed by both at the help in getting hired that was offered after the curriculum was finished, I am also interested in your findings and results.


Hey there - I'm one of the cofounders of SharpestMinds. AMA!

EDIT: Also, I strongly concur with the fast.ai recommendation for deep learning, especially if you're starting from a background in software.


Hi Edouard, interesting concept. Who are the mentors and why don't you list or profile a few of them on the website? (beyond the company logos)


Thanks!

Some stats about our mentors:

- There are about 60 of them now

- Geographic distribution is ~1/3 in the Bay Area, ~1/3 in the Toronto region, the rest across the USA and Canada

- About 50% are deep learning engineers, the other half are a combination of ML devops, data eng, traditional ML (clustering, boosted trees, etc.)

- About half work in (or are alums of) the AI labs of major companies such as the ones whose logos are on the website

Why we haven't listed some of them on our website yet: no good reason. We'll probably do this soon. It's a good idea.


Thanks for the response!


I've tried this a few times. As much as it usually passes the buck to the next interviewer at best, I would just rather be honest.

Especially when the company I'm currently pursuing lists 'trust' in their list of 3 values.


But if "protecting US jobs" means giving jobs to US Passport holders, THAT'S ME! If it's protecting US tax income, THAT'S ME TOO!


I'm a born, bred, red-blooded American, dude. I've only been living in Mexico for 3 years. My English is spectacular.

I'm even from Alabama and don't have an accent.

The risk of delivering or not shouldn't come from my geographic location. That should be susses out in the interview process or probation period.


Big corps have more restrictions and legal risks that they are unwilling to take.

Smaller corps has more flexibility.
