A store owner recently noticed an alarmingly high rate of shoplifting.
He develops a machine learning model that predicts if a customer has shoplifted or not and it is 95% accurate!
He deploys the model but a month later catches no shoplifters...
Why?

4 years ago I asked my mom if she could buy me an Apple watch.
She told me to buy one when I start earning my own money...
...and today I just bought two of the latest Apple watches for both of us, with my own money 😄
You can mint an NFT on the blockchain in JavaScript with ~10 lines of code.
No solidity, no testing... just these 10 lines of JavaScript.
Here's how it works 🧵
Probably the best decision that you can make this year:
Replace 30 minutes of mindless scrolling on Tik Tok and Instagram everyday with a JavaScript or Python course.
Dear Python and JavaScript,
I thank you for giving me not only a job that I love, but also one that helps me pay my bills and buy (almost)anything that I want, whenever I want it.
Regards.
I'm 17 and over the last 2 years I've:
- Built an audience of over 140,000 developers
- Took up a full time job to save up for college
- Built a startup, got $10k in grant funding for it
- Gotten slightly better at Python and JavaScript 😛
It's been an awesome journey!
This is a logarithm.
You'll see it in a lot of machine learning formulas, computer science, and math in general.
Here's a really simple explanation of how it works.
🧵 👇🏻
Dedicate one hour to learn something new everyday; machine learning, blockchain, python... whatever.
Just one hour.
In just one month you'll realise how much progress you've made.
I'm 18, and I just finished high school.
Last week, I started my job as a full-time software engineer at
@EclipseFND
—one of the most exciting blockchain startups around the world.
Here's the crazy story of how it all started seven months ago 🧵
Twitter, forget JavaScript for a second. Take a look at Rust.
Rust developers are paid up to $230,000/year. There's insane demand for this tech!
Here's why and how I'm learning this beast of a programming language in 2023🧵
Can't believe I'm saying this but...
I AM BUYING A HOUSE FOR MY GRANDPARENTS 🥹
They lost everything after covid and it's been a challenging few years.
I'm so glad I can help them🙏
This is me from 8 years ago, my first day learning how to code with Python.
Whenever I feel like I’m not good enough, I think of this photo to remind myself of how far I’ve come.
That’s all that matters—progress.
I made a grand total of $532.43 in 2020 and that was a big deal.
Now I earn that amount that I made in the entirety of 2020 every two days and I keep asking myself wtf is going on 😂
I GOT A NEW JOB!!! 😭🤯
I'm officially joining
@thirdweb_
as a developer advocate, working with incredibly passionate people in the web3 space.
This is life changing and there's so much awesome stuff that we have planned for you guys.
We eating good this winter.
100,000!?!?!🥳
We did it, thank you so much!
It took over a year of hard work (and some trolling) to get here, wouldn't have been possible without all your support🤩
Time for a celebration 🎂🎉
A couple of days ago I showed you how to mint NFTs on the blockchain with JavaScript in ~10 lines of code.
You can do the same thing with Python 🐍
Here's how it works🧵
2 years ago, I was having a hard time.
Poor grades, lack of confidence, getting bullied, gaining 15kgs from stress eating...
Now, I'm working at an awesome SF start-up, financially independent and doing what I love.
All it takes is hardwork and some luck to change your life🚀

Most machine learning courses that I've seen teach you how to create a really good model with pre-made data.
But in the real world, data is the toughest thing to find or collect.
The mean squared error is probably one of the very first evaluation metrics that you might've used when making machine learning models.
Yet most people don't have a clear intuition about how it works, let's fix that today!

Here's a simple 5 minute guide to setup your metamask wallet and get free ethereum to develop decentralised applications 🧵
I use a Macbook and Windows + Linux workstation, both are fine.
I use an iPhone and an Android everyday, both are fine.
I code in Python and JavaScript, both are fine!
There's no point in comparing technologies, it's all personal preference.
What you see below is called "Sigma notation".
Something I've encountered frequently in the math for machine learning and number theory.
Here's how it works.

Game developers are easily the most underrated kind of developers.
It is a field that requires so much knowledge and creativity, yet tech twitter barely gives them any recognition imho.
The four pillars of math needed to understand how machine learning works under the hood.
📊 Statistics: Making sense of data
📉 Calculus: Optimization
🔢 Linear Algebra: Manipulating data
🎲 Probability: Dealing with uncertainty
You don't need a MacBook to code.
Get a decent Windows laptop and install Linux on it.
You won't look as cool at Starbucks, but you'll be able to code just as well.

I'm planning on using Twitter to share a lot of content that you won't want to miss.🤡🎉
You wouldn't believe this, a friend of mine is earning $100k+ a year by writing code for something called a 'DAO'.
They are one of the most interesting applications of blockchain tech in web3 and are being used for a host of different things.
Here's how it works 🧵
Google spent $36,847 an hour for 40 days straight to train a machine learning model called AlphaGo.
Put simply, making these models is an expensive and lengthy process.
Here's how you can potentially train your models upto 2x faster with the magic of parallelization🧵
Spend time building things on discord with your friends, open source it on GitHub and share it with the world on Twitter.
The amount of opportunities you'll get will blow you away.

Working in a start up is pure chaos.
There's so much to do that you end up doing almost a bit of everything and your role doesn't really matter.
It's a challenge everyday and I love it.
Working hard in the next few coming years will set you up for a life changing decade ahead.
There are so many opportunities in machine learning, web3, computer graphics.... seize them while you can!
In the last year these have gone up 👇

📈Bitcoin: 174%
📈Ethereum: 661%
📈Dogecoin: 5275%
📈My income: 36700%
You are the best investment that you can make, keep learning and growing.
Startups are brutal, really brutal.
If you're using a product from one that you genuinely enjoy, let them know!
Each bit of encouragement really helps these folks out, trust me it does.
I am no longer a software engineer at Eclipse.
Signing off with a heart full of gratitude and pockets full of memories... lol, ok no I'm lying.
Starting this month, I'll be starting my new position as a Developer Relations Engineer at Eclipse!🤩🎉
If you know Python or JavaScript, congrats!🎉
That's all you need to be a web3 dev.
The Thirdweb SDK allows you to make smart contracts the you can deploy to the chain, no solidity required.
