Thanks for putting so much time and effort into this. This is definitely not "Yet-another-intro-to-ML".

Which particular troubling event related to India are you referring to?

Interesting. What is your training objective in deciding which view of the room would be the most appealing? Also, are you looking into generative models for creating new views from different angles based on existing views?

> Unrelated: gosh, I like the content of the video presentation but it would be nice if Musk was a slightly better presenter.

Same goes for the audience. I heard one shouting "Save us Elon!". Where do they get these people from?

Maybe it doesn't teach anything new, but it does act as a refresher and makes you go back to Deep Work. I had almost completely forgotten about it and my work schedule was full of tab switching and short breaks. After going through the book, I started using Toggl and minding my time.

This is awesome. Almost everytime I've to launch an instance for a new app or something, I end up googling "aws ec2 instances", "ec2 pricing" etc.

Exactly. If you're a ML person, you must be working with Linux in most cases. And in such case, you need to be familiar with the types of permissions, cause that's relevant even during the installation of various libraries, doing ssh etc.

Spot instances cost way cheaper. The only downside is you need to create an AMI everytime before termination. But, also, AWS g2 has NVIDIA Grid K50 with 4GB memory, so it's not very good with performance.

Unfortunately, it only covers about Musk till his Paypal days. From Chapter 5 about SpaceX, he just has a guest appearance in the story, which mostly goes to describe the factories, the deals etc. I really expected the book to hold what Elon thought during Tesla's low times. His motivation that kept him going in SpaceX even after subsequent crashes etc.

I used to do boxing earlier in college, and used to hit the gym religiously till last year, when my elbow fractured and got implants to hold it together. After that I wasn't able to do much activity, even if I wanted, apart from running. Even pushups carry a risk of screwing up the implants in my elbow.

What kind of physical activity do you think can be done in this type of scenario?
