I just finished watching lecture 4 and part of lecture 5 on Course.fast.ai. My time in front of a computer is limited outside of work, so it would be nice to be in a group so I can push myself.
I just got done building a PC with a GPU (1060 GTX) so I can run some DL. Currently, it has Windows 10 pro and I was able to set up the Jupyter notebooks for the class using the windows 10 for fast.ai guide here: Windows 10 install guide for fastai v3
My education is as a physicist but my day job is a control systems engineer. I’ve got a few specific domains I’m interested in applying DL too.
I’m curious if the next version of the course is coming soon, but I’m still going to work through this version in the meantime.
I have used Mathematica a lot in the past and done computationally intensive work in the past as well, so what I’m hearing here is making a lot of sense so far. I’m very interested in rebooting my career with this ‘new’ skillset.
