<p>From my personal experience, it's best to find a windows laptop that supports two m2 nvme slots. Get another cheap ssd and install linux exclusively on it. I have this setup on my laptop and didn't have to deal with wiping anything.</p>

<p>Absolutely horrible! I am about to complete my MS EECS degree and have been applying to SWE or MLE roles. Even with my previous ~3 years of Backend Dev experience I am not able to get past resume screening. I just get auto rejected all the time.<p>Doesn't help the fact that I have been in the US for a little bit more than a year and half, so building a network is pretty hard. Attended a hackathon, won 2nd prize with my team and tried to leverage something from there but no luck at all.<p>Makes me feel that I might be missing something but no idea what's wrong with my profile. (I don't need sponsorship too).</p>

<p>Column looks very good. The API first approach is something that has been absent from banks and financial institutes for a long time now. I have worked with a lot of established banks trying to integrate their payment systems with newer tech. I would love to work on stuff that Column is doing. Have sent an email to you Wiiliam.</p>

<p>Hi Mark, the library looks cool, excited to try it out. Coincidentally I am starting work on a project that is investigating a lot of Post training quantization methods. I read the blog and I am curious to understand what kind of overheads are involved in quantizing a layer?</p>
