SwayamShrimali··on Feedback on GPT Prompt Creator Project
ok, sounds good, now that i look at it it does seem a bit weird
SwayamShrimali··on 16-year-old Looking For Guidance
yup,thats my goal. Currently, I want to try to get into Standford as my top pick as I live close to it.

Sounds good, any in particular you recommend?
SwayamShrimali··on 16-year-old Looking For Guidance
number one does not apply to me because I'm in the USA/CA, but included just incase someone from Inda views: 1) Emphasize completing courses/books before 11th grade.

Ok, so in summary(just if anyone else needs anything from this), these are the links:

1) Emphasize completing courses/books before 11th grade.

2) Focus on projects rather than numerous courses.

3) Watch 3blue1brown's series on linear algebra, calculus, and deep learning.

4) Recommended resources include Free Code Camp, CS50, How to Design Programs, and Nand2Tetris.

5) Stress the importance of mathematics in AI/ML and suggest studying probability, calculus, and linear algebra.

6) Encourage the individual to start with simple projects and gradually tackle more ambitious ones.

7) Suggest writing a complete, original application with documentation to understand code organization.

8) Advise joining projects, looking for internships, and exploring open-source contributions.

9) Recommend Francois Chollet's book on AI and learning TensorFlow and Keras.

10)Encourage learning practical aspects of ML/AI, such as data partitioning and avoiding overfitting.

11)Suggest building something personally interesting or cloning an existing project.

12)Emphasize the importance of soft skills and understanding the human side of technology.

I was born in India but my whole life since I was 3 has been in Canada and just recently I moved to Palo Alto in California. Ill watch 3blue1browns series as well

Got it, I'll get the book. I did not know there were up-to-date books because of recent years, guess I was wrong ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
SwayamShrimali··on 16-year-old Looking For Guidance
Thanks a bunch! Your support means a lot. I'll take a look at TensorFlow and Keras.
SwayamShrimali··on 16-year-old Looking For Guidance
You sound like my dad, hahaha, ok will do :D
SwayamShrimali··on 16-year-old Looking For Guidance
Thanks for the advice! I've decided on a Ph.D. and a master's. I'll follow your suggestion to create a complete app with documentation for a deeper understanding of code organization.
SwayamShrimali··on 16-year-old Looking For Guidance
Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely look into the MIT lectures on YouTube. Your thoughts on AI and project choice make sense, and I'll aim for a good balance. Appreciate the encouragement.
SwayamShrimali··on 16-year-old Looking For Guidance
Yea, I'll try to look for some projects on git, I just feel like I might not have the skills to help people as I might mess it up XD.
SwayamShrimali··on 16-year-old Looking For Guidance
got it! also 15 years and people are still using it? wow!
SwayamShrimali··on 16-year-old Looking For Guidance
lol, thank you for the fantastic resources and insightful advice! I appreciate your time and encouragement. Ill take a look at all the links, currently i am in grade 10 so i cannot take any courses yet but i might take some outside of school
