I work in the field. Generally, jobs that include AI development generally require advanced degrees and the vast majority require a PhD with peer reviewed publications in major conferences. You will be fighting an uphill battle if you don’t have an advanced degree in mathematics or computer science. You also need to know calculus, linear algebra and statistics to understand how modern machine learning models work.

In short, while online courses can be perfectly effective, unless they’re through an accredited higher education institution, I don’t think it will help you compete with other applicants who have 8+ years of schooling and published papers.

That being said, Georgia Tech and the City University of New York both offer master’s degrees in data science via remote master’s programs where the courses happen after work hours and are meant to be completed while working full-time.

I think this scene nails it.

I didn’t change the subject. I’m saying those right were earned by unions and not gifted by politicians.

As somebody who lives and works in Sweden with a PhD in computer science, I had more disposable income when I washed dishes in NYC. So, yeah, I would say wages are pretty low.

no, no. I’m conceding that-- not ignoring that.

Acupuncture actual does have clinical significant effects though.

I added an arxiv link and a stack overflow link that show that I’m not alone in this assertion of equivalence.

I blame autocorrect for the Merkle typos.

You mean the country with basically universal union membership and literally 0 legislation around minimum wage?

The one where worker’s rights are guaranteed by union negotiations and the threat of a strike rather than national legislation?

We define “blockchain” and “blockchain network”, and then discuss two very different, well known classes of blockchain networks: cryptocurrencies and Git repositories.

183 votes for your “similar but not the same” and 103 votes for “they are the same”. At the very least, I’d say this is far from settled fact

yeah, but this SO post has many up voted comments supporting my points as well.

does git require authentication with a central server? I know that’s common practice and true of github, but my recollection was that it was meant to fix the problem of distributed kernel development via an email listserv in the early 2000s. This stack exchange post discusses how it’s not really centralized

You have failed to list a single example of legislative change that didn’t have the backing of a mass mobilization and credible threats to capital. I have presented several instances that support the claim that legislative change is dependent on working class organization.

Right, but isn’t the “main chain” of Ethereum based on a similar principle wherein it’s the main chain because it’s the one the devs use?

What about BTC vs BTC lightning.

I’m genuinely failing to see a distinction here, and, again, the wiki article says that blockchains are special cases of Merkle trees.

How is it any different than verifying that a transaction occurred?

How is a trusted repository different from a hard fork?

Isn’t “proving someone is a maintainer” just an IRL proof of stake?

I’m not saying that at all. I’m just saying that crediting the the UK for progressive politics while they enslaved half the world is a weird take.

I would make the exact same claim about the US, considering that neo-slavery (indentured servitude/whites only towns) wasn’t abolished until after world war 2.

In fact, one of the most violent events in US history was a white mob that murdered an entire town of black people for trying to unionize.

Those white folks sure understood the power of working class solidarity and it’s fundamental threat to capital.

That’s also probably why MLKJ was assassinated during the poor people’s campaign that sought to unite the grievances of the civil rights movement with the concerns of poor whites.

are you?

what? Git is very much distributed and while you can have a main branch, you can set as many up streams as you want and merge things sideways.

It’s trust less in the sense that commits can’t be easily forged and are signed with cryptographic keys and identities-- as in, I don’t have to trust that the source code is genuine since I can verify the commit history myself.

Consensus is just a pull request.

That wiki article literally lists Bitcoin and Ethereum as implementations of Merkel trees.

nah, man. Being able to vote inalienable. You get the vote by existing, not by meeting some arbitrary standard set by the ruling party. Stop blaming the voters and start blaming the party that failed them

Nah. the other commenters are wrong.

They’re super useful.

Its just that anyone who isn’t selling bullshit uses their real name- Merkel trees - which are fundamental to modern software development (git, zfs, nix, nosql).
