find VS nand2tetris

see my comment in this thread about https://github.com/internet4000/find (for a summary); (web-)apps can be encapsultated, from the URI you access them, and the code that is served by the loaded page. It could also run client side only, local first (web apps manifest, service workers, sqlite/postgres wasm etc.)

Interesting work with the representation of the Content through the URL, to allow the agent/actor to discover the information through different path.

↓

[...]

- CSS(--variable)

- DOM(attributes=value)

- FORM(input[name])

- URL(path?param#resource)

- HTTP(?params{body})

- SCRIPT(--attribute)

- DB(model?filters)

- FS(folder/filer/{content})

- https://www.w3.org/OWL/ maybe to harmonize the representation/attribute/value

- https://opensearch.org/ for sharing patterns

- informal work on https://internet4000.github.io/find

There is also client side configuration possible with https://github.com/internet4000/find

It sounds you are asking about CS fundamentals. I recommend https://www.nand2tetris.org/

A few resources which you may want to check out, in roughly increasing order of difficulty:

- Free Code Camp: https://www.freecodecamp.org/

- CS50: https://cs50.harvard.edu/x/2023/

- How to Design Programs (HTDP): https://htdp.org/

- Nand2Tetris: https://www.nand2tetris.org/

These are geared towards making you a better programmer in general, though it won't necessarily bring you closer to an AI/ML career.

Also, math is pretty important if you want to get into AI and similar things. Even otherwise math is important; don't listen to people who say you can get by without the math! So, try to get a head start on probability, calculus, linear algebra etc.

Good luck!

Gosh, I'm embarrassed about what I was up to when I was 16.

it may also help to see exactly how these numbers we've represented using circuitry are used by a computer. if you want a hands on approach, the projects in this book are the best intro to the inner workings of a computer i know of. this channel is also good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvJc9CZcvBc

Diligent makes several boards for three educational market, prices in the sub-$200 range. (And the devices are small enough they can be used with the no-cost version of the AMD/Xilinx toolchain.)

For online courses, I've heard good things about Nand2Tetris but have not tried it myself.

I've also been through the nand2tetris course as well with the accompanying textbook, and it will make you learn how a computer works from the ground up. You will need to learn some programming language before completing the second half of the course, though.
