180: Reinforcement Learning

Programming Throwdown, episode 180, reinforcement learning. Take it away, Patrick. Welcome to another episode. This is going to be a good one. Excited to be here actually because this is a topic I have been meaning to learn about and Jason has agreed to be uh put on his professor hat uh robe.

I don't know what does a professor wear. Uh I got I got hooded when I got the PhD, I got hooded, which I thought would be an actual hood, but it's really just a sash. Wait, that what what is getting hooded? That's like what you get when you get like I don't know about this. Okay, so when you get a PhD, you you get hooded, which means you go through the same ceremony as the master's students, or I think the same ceremony as everybody, um, but you get a hood, which is actually a sash, and uh the your your PhD advisor actually puts the sash around you, like over you.

as part of the ceremony. Okay. I I I feel like maybe I've heard that term, but I always just kind of had some weird, probably bad association with hood winked. But uh anyways, I don't okay, we're off topic. Anyway, so it's funny because I actually I actually the first thing I think of is is uh is actually because I grew up in the inner city so I was like okay we're going back to my childhood here.
