What's the most decent live online course for Python/NLP/Data Science with actual instructors? (lemm.ee)
 

I'm in the process of transitioning from my current career in teaching to the NLP career via the Python path and while I've been learning on my own for about three months now I've found it a bit too slow and wanted to see if there's a good course (described in the title) that's really worth the money and time investment and would make things easier for someone like me?

One important requirement is that (for this purpose) I've no interest in exclusively self-study courses where you are supposed to watch videos or read text on your own without ever meeting anyone in real-time.

Like, that's the number one thing for me, I've already got a ton of recorded courses which I'm going through (very slowly), so I really want to see if there's something for me like a course with real people interacting with me either in a group or 1on1 environment, as I'd prefer that way more than studying completely on my own. I'm not against self learning (I'm doing that anyways), but I want to see what a more proper course would do for me.

Unfortunately I'm an expat who lives in the Vietnamese countryside so I need a comprehensive online course with tutors/classes that brings real results and not just some shady bootcamp.

What's Bluesky? First time hearing that

Artichoke is the ultimate choice without a morsel of doubt. Any other answer is wrong because of that.

Best proprietary LLM these days that includes web search? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

So what's the best among the bad, then?

Do they? I thought it explicitly says in Claude that it doesn't do that. And where does it say so for GPT? It's trained on older data, and does not pull up fresh information.

Thanks but I'm talking about web search specifically. Claude and OpenAI don't seem like they have web search capability at the moment.

I know of preplexity, Bing chat, web search on Poe, kagi. Not sure if Gemini 1.5 Pro uses search?

Would you guys recommend getting a subscription for GPT o1 or Poe? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Does it mean Llama does have that? And how does that affect the performance? I mean the thing about "no qualms about ethics"

What model do you use in your GPT4all? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

What do you mean by that? Do you not recommend it?

Curious about what model is best to use on my RTX 3080 + Ryzen 5 3600 since I've just found out about this.

Thanks, I've done just that and installed it too! What's the best gpt4all LLM model or the model you'd recommend?

Thanks but why would you say it's superior to GPTo1?

Best online 1on1 tutoring platform to learn programming under supervision in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] SurpriZe@lemm.ee 0 points 1 month ago

Thanks for sharing, but it seems I don't have an idea of what I'd enjoy programming for yet. I'm looking to get into Data Science as a new career so it's more complicated to learn it in a fun mode 🙂

I'm looking to get my first subscription of a machine learning model and I've been using POE for a while but I'm not sure if paying for it would be better than paying for a GPT subscription. I almost never use them to generate images, mostly for help with my business and some programming.

I also want my wife to be able to use the same account when I start paying for it.

I'm not sure what the benefits of each are and which would outweigh.

I've researched the topic and I understand that the general advice is that it's best to learn on your own. However, I'd like to see Lemmy's recommendations regarding websites where you can book programming (Python/R) sessions with a personal tutor online, ideally if you have used the service yourself. I mostly need it to maintain my motivation and learn regularly instead of sporadically.

What's the easiest way to update bios on my Ubuntu laptop without a USB? (lemm.ee)
 

As a lifelong Windows user I've just for the first time switched to Ubuntu and I'm learning how to navigate the system but I haven't found an easy way to update my Carbon's X1 Gen 6 BIOS from its hard disk and would appreciate any advice.

I'd be also happy to hear what I should do as a newcomer to Ubuntu to make my experience with it better and have an easier time overall.

Help needed making voice typing work in Ubuntu (lemm.ee)
 

I've just recently transitioned from Windows to Linux as a lifelong user and I can't for the life of me find a way to type with my voice. Ive tried some scripts and apps but I couldn't make it work after trying for a few days straight.

I mostly need it in Firefox but it'd be nice to have it systemwide.

I'm using ThinkPad Carbon X1 Gen 6 so Whisper AI is out of question as it requires a graphics card.

What could you recommend?

Is a used ThinkPad Carbon X1 Gen 6 worth it for $400? (lemm.ee)
 

I'm looking to replace my tower PC with a mobile option (only strictly for work, no gaming or video editing).

And I've found an online shop that sells ThinkPads: they are selling this FHD (no HDR) i7-8650U, 16GB RAM, 512GB storage used laptop (X1 Gen 6) for 400 usd and I'm wondering if you guys would recommend it.

They offer a 3-month warranty.

They also have a 310usd i5-8350U, 8GB RAM, 256GB storage option, in case this sounds like a better deal (also used and no HDR); and a 345usd i5-8350U, 16GB RAM, 512GB one.

I've looked far and wide and it seems like all shops here sell these at the same price.

This is all in Vietnam and here I cannot use Amazon/eBay etc.

What's an IT profession that is realistically possible to self-study for and become proficient enough in to get employed within a year? (lemm.ee)

By employed I mean get a job in the industry either offline or online. Ideally something that would highly likely remain in-demand in the near future.

Lemmy, recommend me a good budget Android phone please (lemm.ee)
 

I need one for general purposes only, NOT for gaming, so I don't really care about gaming-related features.

I'm going to buy it in Asia, as that's where I live (Vietnam specifically), and would appreciate any advice. 🙂
