"Don't just skim the surface. Dive deep into ML fundamentals."
2024 🎯
Stuck in a Machine Learning Rut?
If you're spinning your wheels in ML, it's time for a change. Here's a no-BS guide to leveling up your ML game.
Don't just skim the surface. Dive deep into ML fundamentals. Understand algorithms, not just use them. Basics are your ML backbone.

sebab ni la kenapa suka pergi iv.
dia ada satu point lepas da pergi iv banyak kali, kau jadi rilek je. da tau flow, da tau apa nak cakap, da tau apa yg diorang nak cakap, da tau apa yg nak kena cakap.
kinda like machine learning but u are the machine, training on interviewing
1 point bagus pasal temuduga.
Majoriti kita tak suka IV sebab nervous, stress & takut salah jawap soalan. Best way to tangani ni semua adalah to do more IVs. Macam nak jadi askar terlatih, kena pergi perang.
Tip:
Pergi IV bukan pergi exam. Tiada salah atau betul.
All the best!

kena jaga anak & need to take the day off? go ahead we’ll manage
primary caregiver & giving birth? 4.5 months leave
secondary caregiver? still get 2-3 months
also not capped to first child only
time i left diorg nak hire kindy lg
To be clear kan, low birth rate *is* a problem
But the solutions some people push for is forcing/guilting women into becoming mothers and full time carer :/ Instead of more support and wages for working parents
Taknak progress gender equality & wealth inequality, tak apa. Low

could be wrong, maybe someone already did that

similar predicament
lost old man just when i'm 3 months away from 20 yo
not much inheritance except a 1.8k kwsp money fought like crazy, lucky to go by bit by bit w scholar money till i got to work 3 years later, no more money given since i still have 5 more siblings to go
I lost both my mom and my dad when I was in my 20s.
Neither left me with any inheritance in their passing.
The summer of '08, when I graduated, was the last time they gave me any money.
I've been a self-made man ever since.

effect of decades of suppressed wages, 13k pun consider mahakaya.
in an ideal world, 2-2.5k is min wage, majority earns around 5k, m40 is adjusted up to 20-25k & t20 starts from 30k above, on par even when currency converted.
This is when we can't use simply statistics.
Gov got to have empathy. Or at least understand different social archetypes.
13k hh income in KL means what, 10k net? Reverse engineer bank DSR calc, 20% goes to transport, 20% goes to housing. Then tolak kos hidup lain, how much?
