# Ask HN: Anyone care to answer a small survey about ML? > Source: > Published: 2026-08-30 19:58:55+00:00 | |||||||||||||||| 1 point by | so...since you aren't LLM (i hope!), there's no need to take this seriously and try to address every single question so please reply to any of these: 1. Do you program/develop ML apps? 2. if yes what language do you use: python or...else? 3. Is the architecture you're using transformers based or something else ? 4. do you train the model you're using from scratch? 5. are you familiar with some of these exotic ML-related keywords: softmax, convolution, HDC, QKV, SSM, yudkowsky (lol),hidden statem gradient decay, cosine similarity, cross entropy loss? thanks! | ||||||||||||||| |
