 What's cracking guys I'll keep this one short is just a channel update. I want to tell you that I'll be taking a vacation So I'm just gonna take some time to kind of relax I've been working a lot over the last year and a half I guess all of us have been kind of burned out because of the pandemic and everything So on the side note, don't worry like the content will still be coming up because I have a couple more videos in the pipeline So those are coming so the condo will still be uploaded regularly. So no worries there Also, this channel is growing slowly. We're almost reaching 10,000 subscribers So I'm planning on making a special video for 10k subs And so if you have any suggestions feel free to just comment down below and suggest whether you want me to make a Q&A I like something you're interested in how I'm learning or how I cover how I read papers or I don't know whatever you have In mind just feel free to kind of Write down your your comments down below a couple more updates So a lot of a lot of things have been like happening in my life over the last couple of months So first things first is I've quit with Microsoft recently. So maybe a week ago or something and So yeah, that's that's kind of new So I thought give myself a chance to to to have a more free time just kind of it was really hard balancing Microsoft all of these projects YouTube etc So I thought just kind of taking a break having some time to travel having some time to To rest more to to make more content for you guys So I learned a lot working as a soft initially as a software engineer and later as a machine learning engineer Microsoft by the time has come to just kind of change stuff in my life So I still think it's a great place to to work at and so yeah one more thing I've also been applying for DeepMind over the last three months and it was super tense I've passed every single interview every single technical and behavioral interview and then a couple weeks ago I did the last one and I got the email Yeah, we won't be proceeding with you for the time and they kind of rerouted me to a second team in DeepMind So that's a novelty as well It always feels bad when you get that rejection But at least I'm happy that I know I can kind of pass all of those interviews at DeepMind and that's a it's one of The companies I admire a lot as a fun fact. I've also the first time applied for Microsoft. I also failed and that's totally normal I just want to share this failure publicly because basically almost no one shares the failures We all share just success stories and I want you to know that we all fail sometimes and like the first time I failed Microsoft it was pretty dumb. Actually the thing that happened with DeepMind is very fairly similar I just want to tell you kind of don't get demotivated if you're not managing to kind of accomplish whatever you're planning To land a dream job or or get your PhD or whatever Just keep on pushing there and you'll eventually get wherever you you want. Just don't give up. I Don't know how many of you know this but I have a patreon profile So feel free to support me there. It's totally optional I highly appreciate your support and I'm just gonna list down some of the names of the current patrons and kudos to them Thanks a lot. Like I really appreciate it Finally, even though I have this YouTube channel, obviously, I love to keep you guys across my different social media platforms So do connect with me on Twitter. Do connect with me on LinkedIn. I'm super active there I also write occasional blogs on Medium so you can follow me there as well. And finally I have a github profile where I'm really prolific with open source projects If you're interested in those if you want to learn some of the deep learning stuff like have some hands-on approach Do feel free to just kind of check out those projects kind of clone them feel free to play with them and let me know what you think Thanks guys and see you in a couple weeks. Cheers
