I'm currently learning Pytorch. Using a YouTube tutorial by freeCodeCamp.org, I am using Python to gain practical experience with ML algorithms and learning how to implement these methods quickly. Following this, I intend to learn LangChain to allow me to implement LLMs solutions to basic problems, including techniques such as RAG
I'm currently reading Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green, a fascinating deep dive into the history of a disease perpetuated by systems of injustice throughout time
