Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 вер 2024
- On this week's episode of the podcast, freeCodeCamp founder Quincy Larson interviews Meg Risdal. She's a data scientist and Product Manager at Kaggle, Google's Data Science competition platform.
Megan works closely with the global data science community, and on Google's Gemma open models project.
We talk about:
Google's Kaggle, which hosts 300k open data sets and runs data science competitions each week that anyone can participate in.
How people talk in academia VS how people talk in tech
Stack Overflow VS Kaggle - how Megan contrasts what it was like to work on these two "communities of practice"
Linguistics and its importance in LLMs and AI research
Can you recognize the song I'm playing during the intro? It's a punk song from 1994.

Are we supposed to think being a phd drop out is the same as a highschool drop out? She already had a number of degrees by that point. And then chooses to work for google so even less interesting
Totally agree with you
what? where have they mentioned that Ph.D dropout is the same as highschool drop out? It's not something they are trying to prove by mentioning it in their title but stating a fact about her journey
@@rogueknight2414
who cares
🤣🤣
We need a hero who would put the timestamps
For his own benefit, but who happens to breadcrumb their efforts 😅
Thank you for bringing her. She is very inspiring!
Wow even though he dropped out and failed, he didn't give up and managed to be a success. Good stuff buddy.
You’re making it sound like a phd dropout is a failure. Many people drop out of their phd for various reasons and are still highly sought after. This is no rags to riches story
she is not a data scientist, she is a PM, it is a different competence
Thanks for your support, I got 2 subscribers 😅.
I was dreaming about something like that video in past few days. Now there is ❤

Great resources❤
Buen video, gracias por compartir
Im 7th year phd student in physiological signal analysis. Im thinking to drop out and look for a job in data analysis and engineering. Could you please help me what skills I need to learn.
Get your PhD first, since you’ve invested so much in it. Your value will be way higher even for recruiters.
7th year?! Man, don't even think about dropping it out unless you get FAANG job, which probably in your case highly unlikely
I would hate to work for Google
❤
PhD wouldn't hurt, but she'll learn it way later. 😂
As I understand things, the typical salary difference from Masters to PhD isn't that much, but their is a vast increase in responsibilities. Further, unless the dissertation topic is significant for profit generation, the PhD won't help much with upward mobility.

Come on, man! She has all these credentials AND she's pretty? Where is the episode about the guy named oscar who lived in a trash can who, turned his life around and made it into faang, working remotely despite having a very bad data connection because his house is nearly a complete farady cage?
Creep
@@FreeThink1984 sir or ma'am, this is a completely innocent joke about a sesame st character that went over your head. Change ur handle to "SmallMindsInBasement84"
I believe her looks have nothing to do with her proficiency. It's kinda embarrassing and insulting to say something like this about a person
Why is everyone doing pod casts. So trash
Who says beautiful women are not intelligent, they are wrong. I have got crush on her 😊😊😊
Imagine simping for this. Embarassing.
Stop your harassment!
