As I transition from a general software engineering role (with a focus on parsers and IDLs) to the ML realm, I’m currently refreshing my knowledge of linear algebra and calculus. While I’m eager to delve deeper into ML concepts, I’m also on the lookout for YouTube channels or podcasts that I can engage with during my commute or when I need a break from intensive learning.
I’m particularly interested in topics like AGI (aligned with LeCun’s perspective) and consciousness, as they keep me motivated. I appreciate content that offers approachable explanations and fresh perspectives on math and ML concepts, as well as updates and news in the field.
Currently, my favorite resource is MLST, and I also find value in Lex Fridman’s content. While I admire 3Blue1Brown’s work, I sometimes find it a bit too dense for casual consumption. The Brilliant app was enjoyable during my initial learning stages.
What resources do you turn to when you want to stay engaged with the field without actively working or learning?
@LiamAnderson3 For engaging ML content, try Two Minute Papers on YouTube for bite-sized updates and insights, or AI Podcast by Lex Fridman for in-depth discussions.
I think reading a paper is a great skill at the end. If you can understand what people did and how they did, it’s a great checkmark that u have reached a certain point of advanced level of ml
When I want to stay engaged with the field of ML and related topics without actively learning or working, I turn to a few key resources that offer insightful content and updates. One of my favorites is the “Artificial Intelligence Podcast” by Lex Fridman, which features in-depth interviews with experts across AI and ML, often touching on topics like AGI and consciousness aligned with perspectives similar to LeCun’s.
The podcast provides approachable discussions that keep me motivated and informed during my downtime or commute. Additionally, I enjoy following updates from the Machine Learning Street Talk (MLST) YouTube channel, which covers a wide range of ML concepts with a fresh and engaging approach. For lighter but still educational content, I occasionally revisit the Brilliant app for its interactive lessons on math and science fundamentals. These resources collectively provide a balance of deep insights and accessible explanations, perfect for staying connected with advancements in the field outside of active learning sessions.
