> I am thinking to go through as many of Andrew Ng's deep learning courses as I can. With AI developing at such a fast rate, it would be beneficial to know how it works underneath.
I ended up doing the entire Deep Learning Specialization and thoroughly enjoyed it. The courses gave me a good idea about AI fundamentals. The disadvantage is that since they're a few years old (pre-ChatGPT), the courses are already behind. I saw they have separate courses going into LLMs and such which might be worth looking into.
> I'm thinking to go through a raytracing course and some basic VFX courses on Blender. Possibly something about storytelling as well.
Sadly I didn't end up doing raytracing or VFX courses :( Instead I took up Unreal Engine and iOS dev, though I might be able to do at least one of those this year. For storytelling I only managed to read a few books on good writing. Haven't written anything on my own yet. I could possibly create a blog to test out my writing skills there.
My resolution was to go into the year without having any expectation. It is one of the most counter intuitive thing, but yes. I achieved nothing this year. I went from (-) to (0).
Resetting life and thinking through it takes a lot of effort. I am continuing the same resolution with sub-goal of hitting 1 if possible.
Expectations and desires are the root of all evils in your life. Control them, and you control you.
