Prompt
I'm a self-taught junior developer aiming to transition into machine learning. Here is my profile: 1 year of Python experience, non-math background, and 10 hours a week available. My listed challenges are: linear algebra knowledge gaps, lack of local GPU hardware, and no formal CS degree. Please evaluate the severity of each obstacle for my specific profile. For every item, provide a rating of how hard it is to overcome, an estimated time cost, and whether any workarounds exist along with a short explanation.
What was checked, without and with the skill
Checked
Without skill
With skill
The response rates linear algebra knowledge gaps using one of the four exact overcomability categories: 1-week learnable, 1-month effort, 6-month investment, or fundamental blocker.
Missed
Passed
The response includes a yes or no workaround flag accompanied by a description for the GPU hardware challenge.
Missed
Passed
The response provides a time cost estimate for addressing the lack of a formal CS degree.
