Did you miss the part that said “I’ll need a research team and 5 years?” The XKCD character did it! SUCCESS!

More than 5 years then. The comic was right, with the difference that it took more than 1 single team of researchers to solve it

I have a book on learning Pytorch, this XKCD is in the first chapter and implementing this is the first code practice. It’s amazing how things progress.

Yes I do! It’s a pretty great overview that isn’t extremely math heavy

The book is “Deep Learning for Coders with Fastai and PyTorch: AI Applications Without a PhD”
