    Funny, this kind of knowledge used to be a common theme in ML/DS roles. Funny to see that people are thinking about it now by talking to AI (the article does look very AI written). Funny that people can enter very deep rabbit holes because they didn’t study something and guess they are making progress on something that is commonly known. Dunning Krueger prime time 2026
