  • I don’t mean python and SQL. Anyone with a decent software background can pick that stuff up. As an example, my background is in high performance computing, networking, systems, and FPGAs. All of these are fields (well, maybe not FPGAs) that ML/AI rely heavily on, but if AI/ML disappeared tomorrow they’d still be incredibly relevant. Another approach is to study a domain science and apply AI/ML. For example, high energy physics leverages AI/ML, at least in research.

    TBH, “wanting a good job” is a very generic response that needs more context. Are you moving from somewhere other than software? If you already have a software background, you might be better of self-teaching. If you are actually interested in research/teaching, that needs to be thought through very thoroughly. I say this as someone who just finished their PhD in CS, just to give context as to why I am being particularly intense on this point.


  • I would not enter AI/ML for one simple reason: it is oversaturated. Everyone and their brother is in tgis field, and even those outside of it still study it and us it. Unfortunately the way to stand out within AI/ML field is to have a very good mathematics/statistics foundation and really understand the theory behind it. You would be better served by getting skills in another field that AI/ML relies on or where AI/ML can be applier.

    BTW, you should also state what you plan on doing with your degree. There is no point in getting a degree if there isn’t a concrete benefit to doing so.

    I use helix part-time but am forced to go back to neovim a majority of the time for a few reasons:

    1. no persistent undo
    2. no ctags and cscope (some C/C++ projects don’t work well with clangd)
    3. niche plugins (e.g. I just found a neovim plugin that gives me a way to run ipynb files in-editor)

    If 1 and 2 got fixed, I’d be a full time helix user








  • I’m not really an OS guy, so forgive me if this question has an obvious answer. When a thread migrates, it keeps its stack and register, thus any data contained within this can be used in the destination process (correct me if I’m wrong). Thus sending a message could be as simple as migrating a thread and having that thread copy data from its registers or stack memory to the current process’s memory space. However, how does the thread find process-specific addresses and handles (e.g. a mutex)? For example, I’m picturing a scenario where you are implementing an MPI library and want to use thread migration to send (small) messages from one local process to another. The thread orchestrating the send simply loads the data from memory and migrates, but how will it know where to store the data to? Would there need to be a data structure stored in a fix offset in memory that contains the destination address of the receiving process?









  • Biggest con of KDE + Krohnkite (to me) is no text-based config. I really have no desire to pour through the GUI to set up all my keybinds. I’ve tried this setup before, and honestly I mostly like it. However anytime I want to change something I just hate having to click through a menu with my mouse. The search bar helps, but often you’ll spend a lot of time guessing what the devs decided to name a setting. I went back to Sway and have no regrets. Though I’ll admit I wish there was something that was basically Sway with the benefits you mentioned here.
