    There is no contracts ads for ML, yet. Is is probably all in universities etc. Prolly the permies are getting baked now. And in 2 - 3 years the market will be picking up and up. It is only logical it is the next thing. But I am getting some Javascript skills first.

    The Google one on my phone is remarkably good. However the bigger risk to McDonalds is surely robots cooking the food, since the point is everything is done in a totally scripted way already.

They didn't say what the mcdonalds employees thought of that. But the developers and business people in the audience applauded loudly the poor sods soon to be unemployed.

    So i figure get into that niche... work on people being out of work.... sure I won't put it that way with my official credentials. I'd just laugh mindlessly like we are supposed to.

    Depends what you want to do with it.
    I went down the Python, PANDAS, Pybrain sklearn route for prediction.
    Found it comparatively straightforward.

    started a topic Machine Learning.

    Machine Learning.

    Is there any point in skipping learning asp.net and mvc and proceeding directly into Machine Learning? Basically writing programs that will make asp.net and mvc developers obsolete. Also I hope Maching Learning is easy to learn... I mean Cortana is pretty clever by now I guess.

Working...
