Hi, I’m Logan 👋 Machine learning software engineer, optimist, and father of 5.
I obsess with helping others (especially engineers) understand AI systems so they can work well for everyone. I share this via:

I turned 27 today and I’m loving life.
I’ve got an awesome wife and 5 amazing kids (including two sets of identical twins!). I get to work on my passion every day and share it with all of you.
I’m super blessed. I thank you all for your support in my endeavors.

It's a shame because I really enjoyed most discussions with her.

MLX is a BIG deal for the ML community. It significantly lowers the barrier of entry for ML research and makes running models locally much easier.
I wrote a step-by-step guide to training your first ML model on your Mac in less than 5 minutes. Link below 👇

A big thing I see a lot here: people pretending to be experts when they’re just starting to learn something.

You clearly doesn't understand the drug development process. The work these models can do in minutes would have previously taken hours using other computational methods.

MLX team needs a raise.
I’m going through my list of ML updates (96 total) from the past two weeks and MLX has 7 entries I think need to be shared. This is after trimming it down to about half. Their pace is incredible.

"Tech is easy money" really bothers me. There are VERY few devs doing little work and making >$200k/yr. This saying sets so many people up for disappointment.
Can anyone learn how to code? Yes.
Will most people enjoy it? Probably not.

Keep in mind that very few people are AI experts.
I've worked as an ML engineer at Google and Microsoft and as an AI research scientist and I'm not even close to being an expert.
Claiming to be an expert and sharing nonsense harms everyone's understanding of AI.

There’s too much of a focus on hustle culture on X.

Stanford's Intro to Machine Learning course (CS229) is a perfect example of understanding basic topics before getting into something more complex.
It takes half the course before they get into neural networks. Most new machine learners jump right into them.

Networking is reciprocal. If you aren't willing to help others, why should they help you?
Instead of taking time to grow your network, take time to help your current network.

The best piece of career advice I have ever received was to stop worrying about money.
The area you work in, the product you work on, and the people you work with have a much greater effect on your career growth and happiness. Optimizing these will pay dividends in the long run.

If you're getting in AI, understand the engineering behind the machine learning.

My goal for 2024 is to put all my data (notes, ideas, tasks, projects) into a second brain that can easily be made available to an LLM.
By the end of 2024, I'll have a second me to assist with everything I need to get done.
Then I'll make it easy for anyone to set up.
