Ive had this ring side seat as #mybrilliantstudent has learned about neural networks, has built one in rust, is now focused on running it in gpu.
Im the teacher, technically. Tho he’s never been my student, just sent to me by teachers who understood he needed more than they could offer. So Im his sounding board. Ive learned so much from this kid.
@LaurelGreen daang--that kid's going places
@rpardee he is brilliant, but here on asylum status. Kid belongs at mit, but all we can get him into is local community college. He’ll be bored af, won’t do the work b/c its so beneath his mind. 😭
@LaurelGreen That's a shame. Does the community college have anything like an honors program? The one I went to did & FWIW I found the classes pretty challenging...
@rpardee thats good to hear. I’ll look into it. Boredom is a killer for our smart kids.
