I have used Python quite a lot for implementing automated flight control of aircraft in the X-Plane flight simulator. In your "definition #2" article, you mention "Computer Algorithms." Is this referring to Code you would obtain from somewhere else? Are there "object oriented" facilities in Python that I'm not aware of? Or would you write code yourself which uses algorithms found in textbooks? I would prefer the latter, having never learned OO methods. (Even though my experience goes back to 1979, with Assembly, Pascal, BASIC, many versions of C, Fortran, Lua .. etc.)
Hi Curt, here I was just referring to algorthms in general that are implemented through computers. Specifically, in the context of AI it would be Machine Learning algos (reinforcement learning etc.).
Depending in what your goals are, most of the algorithms you wouldn't have to write yourself now. You can import libraries for Python, or connect to an API of a company and leverage their systems.
Your journey diving into AI from a web dev background is inspiring! It’s refreshing to see someone charting their course in this vast landscape of AI, aiming not just to learn but to share the ride with others. Your newsletter's pivot toward AI is a goldmine for fellow devs eyeing a similar shift.
Python, the gateway drug to AI, seems to have found its purpose with your foray into micro-courses on Kaggle. Love the deliberate habit-building with the physical book and notebook – James Clear would approve! Lex Fridman’s podcast and Bishop’s textbook are stellar choices for deepening your understanding.
The newsletter's new schedule sounds awesome, offering both snapshots and deep dives into AI. Thanks for sharing your resources and plans; it's a treasure trove for all on this path. Looking forward to more insights!
Thanks a ton for your efforts and for being an inadvertent guide on this AI trail. Keep rocking, Daniel!
