365 Data Science’s Data Science and AI courses are free until November 21st!

If you can carve out a little free time every day between now and November 21st, you’ve got the opportunity to take every data science and AI course offered by 365 Data Science for free — and really free, as in they won’t ask you to enter your credit card number.

  • Need to learn basic or intermediate Python? They’ve got you covered.
  • Want to get up to speed with Pandas or Numpy? They’ve got courses for that?
  • Gearing to up get hardcore and learn the mathematics behind machine learning? There’s a linear algebra course, as well as courses for probability and statistics.

I’m quite sure that the hope is that you’ll start some courses, not be able to finish them by the 21st, and then shell out money to continue. They may even have some Black Friday specials happening around that time to entice you to hand over your credit card number.

But what if you put in the time during the free period and really dug in? You might be able to learn a lot of free.

I’m in the middle of a couple of their math courses, and they’re pretty good. Check them out!

Humble Bundle’s “Complete Learn to Code Python and ML” megabundle

Want to learn a lot about Python, whether you’re brand new to the language, or a long-timer? Humble Bundle’s The Complete Learn to Code Python and ML Megabundle might be just what you’re looking for, costs only US$25 for the full set, and is available for another 7 days (at the time of writing — 1:40 p.m. on Monday, October 28, 2024)!

$25 gets you 45 items, all of which are pictured in this post. Some of these items are complete tutorials, while others are simply collections of sample code. I decided to YOLO and simply buy the whole thing.

I’m going to sift through the offerings and write about them over the week here. Watch this blog!

A portion of the proceeds from sales of the megabundle will go towards Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, so you’ll be getting some useful Python info and helping a good cause at the same time.

Check out the megabundle at Humble Bundle!

AI instructions for wall-mounting a TV

The viewing angle might not be so great, but on the bright side, it’s really easy to reach the TV’s HDMI ports!

(Also: ChatGPT didn’t draw those images; its image-rendering counterpart DALL-E did.)

OpenAI CTO says “maybe some creative jobs shouldn’t exist”

Some techies hold the attitude that “what I do is important, and what you do isn’t,” and the more socially savvy ones don’t say the quiet part out loud.

But Mira Murati, OpenAI’s CTO, did just that onstage at her alma mater, Dartmouth University, where she said this about AI displacing jobs in creative lines of work:

Some creative jobs maybe will go away, but maybe they shouldn’t have been there in the first place.

Mira Murati, from AI Everywhere: Transforming Our World, Empowering Humanity
(she says this around the 29:30 mark)

Here’s my take on her bad take, courtesy of the Global Nerdy YouTube channel, which you should subscribe to…
