Hello everyone! 👋 This is a follow-up post to the previous one, long story short I started taking the course from fast.ai to learn more about Deep Learning. I’ve built a simple Image Tagging model using the Resnet architecture (don’t worry about the paper I did not read it, GitHub Copilot suggested it while writing this blog post). FastAI is a high-level Python library that allows you to train complex ML models really fast and efficiently....

If you have a method that does something like: public class Main { static void myMethod() { HttpClient client = new HttpClient() // do stuff } } You should refactor it ASAP.

I confess that I didn’t really understood how Python works, until I’ve tried Java. Python had a dynamic type system and it was very confusing for a newbie like me. After finishing Introduction to Computing with Java course from HKUST on edX I started to get a better grasp on programming....
