From my personal experience, it's best to find a windows laptop that supports two m2 nvme slots. Get another cheap ssd and install linux exclusively on it. I have this setup on my laptop and didn't have to deal with wiping anything.

I'm a grad student and researcher at UC Merced. My academic focus and hands-on experience is in training ML/DL models and optimizing inference performance. Professionally I have ~3 yrs of exp as a Backend Software Dev developing payment processing pipelines and integrating them with payment settlement systems.

I am looking for opportunities as an ML/DL engineer or Backend SDE.

Absolutely horrible! I am about to complete my MS EECS degree and have been applying to SWE or MLE roles. Even with my previous ~3 years of Backend Dev experience I am not able to get past resume screening. I just get auto rejected all the time.

Doesn't help the fact that I have been in the US for a little bit more than a year and half, so building a network is pretty hard. Attended a hackathon, won 2nd prize with my team and tried to leverage something from there but no luck at all.

Makes me feel that I might be missing something but no idea what's wrong with my profile. (I don't need sponsorship too).

I'm currently an MS EECS student and a Graduate Student Researcher at UC Merced. My academic focus and hands-on experience are in machine learning, deep learning, and computer vision. I focus on optimizing Deep Learning model performance.

Professionally I have ~3 years of exp as a Backend Software Dev developing payment processing pipelines and integrated them with third-party payment settlement systems (HKICL, BPay to name a few).

I am looking for opportunities as an ML/DL engineer or Backend SWE once I graduate (May 2025).

Column looks very good. The API first approach is something that has been absent from banks and financial institutes for a long time now. I have worked with a lot of established banks trying to integrate their payment systems with newer tech. I would love to work on stuff that Column is doing. Have sent an email to you Wiiliam.

Hi Mark, the library looks cool, excited to try it out. Coincidentally I am starting work on a project that is investigating a lot of Post training quantization methods. I read the blog and I am curious to understand what kind of overheads are involved in quantizing a layer?
