Aside from challenges regarding per inference latency, any other unique challenges you guys faced when deploying nlp models to web? It's pretty cool to see ml being applied more actively in day-to-day web browsing.
One thing that we're trying to hit is the actual quality of the generated questions/answers; there's an immense amount of variance in internet content at large and it's difficult to ensure high-quality content without some kind of supervised QA (aside from some kind of hyperparam grid search). We were able to achieve some control over quality through rule-based heuristic filters on our generated questions, but we're trying to make this more robust.
Most of the kids my age are doing exactly what you just described above. I want to be the person making games and apps that other teens get addicted to.
During my internship, I ran almost every single day and I love do other activities besides coding... I agree with you that I shouldn't make coding my everything, I still love to do it when I have free time.
It's great you're exercising daily, aim to make it part of your daily routine, it'll pay off very well in the future.
When I was your age I had days and even weeks during my summer breaks when I would get bored out of my mind. Believe it or not there's some benefit in that. It allowed me to find new ways to entertain myself and definitely boosted/developed my creativity. Try to get bored every once in a while, it feels nice :)
...I realize I kind of sound like a dick there. Good on you for the internship and all, but if you think of it as work you're gonna burn yourself out.
Ah who am I kidding you're not gonna listen to any of this, lol. You'll figure it out on your own, I guess, and then take a 4 year break from programming, partying and doing a lot of drugs. And then come back to it after realizing that you liked programming the whole time.
..or you'll just burn out. Or you might get hit by a truck or something.
Not really. My story is kind of unrelated to that little anecdote.
I started coding at like, 12. It was mostly fun little "side" projects like game addons and personal websites. I was praised amongst my friends as the "programmer genius" and I built a reputation online.
Eventually I ended up landing myself a web programming job when I turned 16, ended up hating it. Got another internship offer at 17 at a legit web search company. I hated that too.
I eventually decided I hated programming and stopped going to the search company (eventually got laid off for truancy). I spent my senior year of HS and freshman year of college partying a lot getting bad grades with no real direction.
