I have no experience in quantization, so I won't be able to answer this well. However, I believe it is important that ML be as accessible as it possibly can be and am looking forward to seeing improvements within this domain.I think it's totally fine to explore as many techniques as you can since you don't know what works until you try it!

I answered this somewhat in a previous question, so I'll take a bit of my answer from there:"Having a strong mathematical foundation helps, so brushing up on your linear algebra and statistics will be helpful. You can develop these skills by hard work through self-studying, taking courses on online platforms like Coursera, Udemy, and LinkedIn learning. Nowadays, there are so many blogs and resources that are a quick Google search away!"I haven't worked as a Software Engineer, but ML engineers are being heavily recruited. You should look up a few of these job roles and see what the requirements are, this could help shape your priorities for what to focus on in your learning journey!

The goal of blockchain is to mobilise digital currencies. The link with energy supply is a far-fetched but not very much insignificant link. The structure of blockchain should be similar to that of internet communication (fluidity of data flux). Blockchain technology will be influenced more by economic transactions between energy suppliers and consumers in the energy sector. The blockchain technology issue is narrowed down to purchasing ability and mobility. Whether the energy is renewable or not, the question becomes relevant if "cryptos" are used to pay. Many countries already use the P-2-P transaction, which allows traditional currencies, bank cards, and crypto vendor platforms to be purchased (such as Binance without any publicity). When considering this question in terms of mining these coins, the CPU units, According to the Digiconomist's Bitcoin Energy Consumption Index, one bitcoin transaction consumes 1,449 kWh, or roughly 50 days of power for the average US household. Many African businesses consume more energy than this over the course of 50 days. As a result, it has no bearing on Africa's energy sustainability. Africa's most pressing issue is how to manage the energy it generates (how the laws work and how much people can buy). I hope I've quenched your thirst.By the way, how many countries are to adopt a currency which doesn't satisfy the basis laws of currency credibility?

Hi Isaac, i am glad you find the answers useful. To the first question, finding tailors was a major problem for me mostly because i had no interest in actually sitting on a machine. I personally do not enjoy it. I also started with no direction in mind i just kept saying i wanted to do ready to wear but didn’t think of basic things like the kind of clients i wanted to cater to and how i can get them. The tailors that were very good were expensive, I couldn’t afford them but i went ahead and got one regardless. The business was barely surviving i had to let him go.Knowing your target audience is important so if they aren’t in your immediate circle, you have do something else short term to get noticed by your actual target audience. Getting clients was a problem because my social circle is extremely small and were also in my tax bracket while i was aiming for people outside that bracket.It is also important that whenyou give someone a discount, make sure you tell them it is a discount.Learning and restrategizing is the most important thing. When something isn’t working find a new way. My brand is still evolving and that is fine, till you find what works. For starting up you might not make a lot of profit and that is fine, if you have a long term plan. Might being the keyword, it honestly is not the case for some people. Social capital is a huge determining factor. You want people to notice you and experience your brand once you have that you can start to mark up, those who know your value will stay. Do not take on more than you can handle, it will affect your quality of work and it will mess with you. Activity is not productivity, prioritize things. Learn when to say noAbout staying true to your style I honestly will say you decide that. Nothing wrong in letting other things influence your style. The idea of a business is making money, i also understand that carving a niche is important but if its not working you might need to tweak it till it works.

African youth start from a difficult position in belonging to culture that venerate age, i.e. patrimonialism. African women are also in a similar quandary because of patriarchy: the man is the head of the household. So, while both the youth and the women are majority population categories in relation to the respective groups standing against them, they cannot muster the numbers to exploit their respective potential. On peace building, the way to go about identifying the role of the youth is to ask what the causes are of the lack of peace. Who/what is creating unrest and war, and why? The AU had committed to silencing the guns by 2020; so the question to ask is: what was driving the guns? What had been strategised for their silencing? What was actually done to silence them? And what was achieved? That would be a suitable stating point for an assessment of the youth's potential... But unfortunately, the youth have likely lost an idealism for change, and are captive of standards set by the older generation. The East African Institute's 2016 Kenyan Youth Survey Report found that more than half the respondents saw nothing wrong with evading taxes or taking bribes, as long as one is not caught. Making money "by hook or crook" was acceptable to 47%, and 40% would vote for a politician who paid for their vote! While that is not the standard picture of the African youth, it screams that we should not treat the African youth like some undifferentiated whole: after all, even fueling conflict is a money-making enterprise the youth might just want a stake in!!!

To your first question, I believe they somewhat already have. If you look purely at the numbers, I believe they already lead the world in newly published AI research or are quite close to that. In my opinion, its because the K-12 education system is much more tech focused there, and until the US competes at that level of education as well (which seems somewhat unlikely, considering the state of public education in the US government), we will surely be not just outpaced, but completely dominated in the next few decades. Also at the doctoral level at many Ivy+ schools, almost half of PhDs in tech come from international students, so you can draw whatever conclusions you'd like from that.To your second question, none of them. They will likely purchase another company doing such h things. One thing that we have to realize is that cutting-edge B2C AI generally doesn't usually make money in short term timelines. Companies that do often end up being unicorns or acquired by one. If you were to take a look at how FAANG companies make the majority of their money, I would bet a lot of money that its not the jaw dropping consumer AI systems. From the B2B sense, however, probably Amazon, as they dominate the B2B computing market already.The third question: hard work rarely yields personal financial success. This may be a jaded opinion, but the majority of wealth made in the US isn't made by the hard work of the person who benefits. The most profound book that I've read in the past year is a book of poetry, called the sun and her flowers, by Rupi Kaur. For me, poetry helps me find solace and meaning, and speaks when I cannot come up with words myself. Lastly, the startup that excites me the most is the one I'm working on in secret.

Hello Emmanuella, It's the same strategy really. It may even be slightly easier for a person depending what their personality is. Think Obama, he already has such a great personality and charisma that it would've been easy to build on that and amplify this brand we see today. Regards,

I think it is very important for brands to reflect their target audience. This is the time of being 'WOKE' but it must be done right. Compare Gillette's advert We Believe: The Best Men Can Be and Nike's advert with Colin Kaepernick. Gillette's advert didn't do well because people could into just buy into their message. Brand Managers needs to start considering cause marketing but need to be mindful it may back fires BUT they should always remember there was a motivation for doing it. Brand Managers could definitely use it to engage and connect with their audience. The audience sees the brands on their side, feel emotionally connected and willing to patronise.

I must start by appreciating the starting process, to by pass that, it means you made it already. First, not being a Business incline is not an issue. You only need to be directed on how a Business should run and how you can leverage your energy on growing your business. Which you can contact an expect for direction ... contact consultingnest@gmail.com and get leadings and directions. Building your brand, is not something you can achieve over night it takes time, consistency, and patience. You equally need a lot of Mentoring on that. You can reachout to me directly so we can go from there.I can assure you, you are doing good already for just the fact that you started.Reachout lets talk more.

Hello Pemi, Video is the present and future of content marketing, and people generally gravitate towards video, so it is a really effective way to reach your audience, but you mustn't ignore other content formats that may be more useful in getting a particular message across. Yes, email is still very efficient and has a very high Return On Investment (ROI). Some of the most common mistakes are not understanding your audience, not giving your strategies/plans enough time to give the desired results, not evolving and being so afraid of failing you take no chances.
