Word of the Day: amorphous

Word of the Day: amorphous

The word amorphous has appeared in 61 articles on NYTimes.com in the past year, including on Jan. 4 in “Uranus and Neptune Reveal Their True Colors” by Becky Ferreira:

The gap between the public perception and the reality of Neptune illustrates just one of the many ways data is manipulated to emphasize certain features or enhance the appeal of astronomical visualizations. For instance, the stunning images released from the James Webb Space Telescope are composite false-color versions of the original infrared observations.

“There’s never been an attempt to deceive,” Dr. Fletcher said, “but there has been an attempt to tell a story with these images by making them aesthetically pleasing to the eye so that people can enjoy these beautiful scenes in a way that is, maybe, more meaningful than a fuzzy, gray, amorphous blob in the distance.”

Can you correctly use the word amorphous in a sentence?

How I Went from Drum Teacher to Software Engineer in 12 Months

How I Went from Drum Teacher to Software Engineer in 12 Months

Learning to code so that you can land a job in tech can feel daunting. That’s why we’re sharing inspiring stories from Codecademy’s community — to show how people like you (yes, you!) can embark on a learning journey and end up with a totally new career. We hope these stories serve as a reminder that there’s no single path to a more fulfilling work life.

Today’s story is from Daniel Jordan, a Software Engineer at a telecommunications company, living in Hertfordshire, England. Read more stories from Codecademy learners here. Want to be featured in a video about your coding journey? Be sure to share your story here.

Why I chose to learn to code

“I was teaching at drum school and doing gigs on the weekend — like weddings, functions, and corporate stuff, which was super fun. But I always found myself wanting a bit more challenge mentally. The lifestyle of being a musician was getting quite a lot. You have lots of major highs and then nothing happens for a long time. It’s not sustainable forever, for me, anyway. As I got a bit older, I just wanted to have more balance in my life.

I wanted to learn coding to have more of a mental challenge daily. When I was a musician, we
were doing the same thing every night. I was just looking for something more satisfying to do with my life. Coding gives me the freedom of expression to do what I want to do and build things that I really want to build. And you can make something how you think it should be made, and not how anyone else thinks you should make it. That’s why I like coding.”

How I found motivation to learn

“Motivation for me whilst I was learning was not really a much of a problem. I had the opposite problem; I was too motivated. Every day I wanted to get up and I wanted to learn more. I thought it was just the greatest thing that I’d stumbled across.”

How long it took me to land a job

“Thanks to Codecademy, I was able to go from knowing nothing about code to having a full-time Software Engineer job in 12 months flat. It took me about two months to feel confident enough to start building my own projects. But once I was there, I just couldn’t stop — I was building loads of stuff. I still have my first real project in my portfolio to this day.”

How I got in the door

“After I’d made some projects and I thought my portfolio was okay, I made a CV. I had a good friend who was working at a tech company as well. And I said to him, ‘Do you think I’m ready to start applying for jobs?’ And he said, ‘You won’t know unless you start applying.’ He nicely referred me to the place that he was working at, and that’s how I got my first interview.

I managed to get that job and I haven’t looked back since. It was really cool; just unbelievable. I was gob smacked and astonished. Even though I knew I would [get a job] at some point, I didn’t think it would be so quick.”

Not sure if you’re ready to start applying for jobs?

Here are a few signs that you’re prepared to submit your application and take the next step towards a technical career.

How I evaluated the offer

“As a full-time musician, you have an interesting lifestyle where you can do whatever you want whenever you want really. If you choose to not work hard as a full-time musician, then you won’t be financially stable. Coding allows me to have loads of freedom to be financially stable and do nice things with friends and family.

Working from home is one of the best things; for me, work-life balance is much better working remotely. If I need to go out in the daytime and run an errand or something, then it doesn’t matter. I can catch up with work after I finish — I don’t have to travel two hours to get home from the office. I can work whenever I want. It’s great.”

How day one and beyond went

“My new job is at a telecommunications company, and I’ve gone from being an entry-level Software Engineer to now a full Junior Software Engineer. I’ll get the opportunity to help the entry-level people, grow more, and learn from new people. I’ve gone from a massive company to a much smaller company, so I’m really hoping to get even more say on what we do, why we do it, and be able to voice my opinions. Most importantly, I’ll get to build really cool stuff — that’s going to be wicked.

I don’t get as much time to use Codecademy as I’d like anymore. But I’m definitely looking to learn some system level languages soon. I’d like to go deeper on C++ and C#.”

What I wish I knew before I started learning

“I spent a lot of time to begin with on YouTube, and that was a problem because I didn’t really know what I was looking for. I wish I hadn’t wasted time on YouTube and bootcamps trying to get knowledge, but not getting anything consistent or knowing what I was looking for.

With Codecademy, everything’s structured and progresses really gently; there wasn’t any massive jump where you need to suddenly know loads of stuff. It’s very gradual. Everything you need to know for a project that you build, they’ll teach you about beforehand, which is essential. One of the best things as well is the group projects. There’s a big community on there and you can talk to other people that are in the same position as you and build something together.

That’s hard to find in real life, but [collaboration] is what a lot of real jobs require. You’re never making something on your own in a real job. Coding is not a one-man experience, it’s a team sport for sure.”

Is TikTok a National Security Risk?

Is TikTok a National Security Risk?

TikTok is once again facing a potential ban in the United States. The app has been under threat since 2020, as lawmakers increasingly argue that the Chinese government’s relationship with TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, raises national security risks.

Do you use TikTok? If so, how much and what for? What, if anything, would you lose if the app were banned?

In “House Passes Bill to Force TikTok Sale From Chinese Owner or Ban the App,” Sapna Maheshwari, David McCabe and Annie Karni write about the March 13 congressional vote:

The House on Wednesday passed a bill with broad bipartisan support that would force TikTok’s Chinese owner to either sell the hugely popular video app or have it banned in the United States.

The move escalates a showdown between Beijing and Washington over the control of a wide range of technologies that could affect national security, free speech and the social media industry.

Republican leaders fast-tracked the bill through the House with limited debate, and it passed on a lopsided vote of 352 to 65, reflecting widespread backing for legislation that would take direct aim at China in an election year.

The action came despite TikTok’s efforts to mobilize its 170 million U.S. users against the measure, and amid the Biden administration’s push to persuade lawmakers that Chinese ownership of the platform poses grave national security risks to the United States, including the ability to meddle in elections.

The result was a bipartisan coalition behind the measure that included Republicans, who defied former President Donald J. Trump in supporting it, and Democrats, who also fell in line behind a bill that President Biden has said he would sign.

The bill faces a difficult road to passage in the Senate, where Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York and the majority leader, has been noncommittal about bringing it to the floor for a vote and where some lawmakers have vowed to fight it. And even if it passes the Senate and becomes law, it is likely to face legal challenges.

But Wednesday’s vote was the first time a measure that could widely ban TikTok for consumers was approved by a full chamber of Congress.

The article also discusses some lawmakers’ opposition to the bill:

Several Republicans and Democrats expressed their opposition to the bill based on free speech concerns and TikTok’s popularity in the United States. Some legal experts have said that if the bill were to become law, it would probably face First Amendment scrutiny in the courts.

Representative Maxwell Frost, a Democrat of Florida, said on Tuesday that “not only am I no, but I’m a hell no.” He said the legislation was an infringement of First Amendment rights. “I hear from students all the time that get their information, the truth of what has happened in this country, from content creators on TikTok.” He said he was concerned about Americans’ data, but “this bill does not fix that problem.”

Students, read the entire article and then tell us:

  • What is your reaction to the House bill? Do you think it should become law? Why or why not?

  • Among lawmakers’ chief concerns about TikTok is that its Chinese ownership poses grave national security risks to the United States. They worry the app could be used to spread misinformation, sow division and meddle in elections. How concerned do you think Americans should be about these potential threats?

  • In a related guest essay, Julia Angwin, a contributing Opinion writer and investigative journalist, argues that other big tech companies, such as Google, Meta and Microsoft, also collect users’ data, and that foreign countries have used social media sites, like Facebook, to try to influence U.S. elections before. Do you think TikTok is being treated unfairly? Do all big tech companies deserve more scrutiny and regulation?

  • The last time we asked about banning TikTok, teenagers brought up a trove of other concerns they had about the app, including how “addictive” it is, the inappropriate content and dangerous “challenges” they’ve encountered on it, and its privacy risks. What are your biggest worries about TikTok, if you have any at all?

  • Students also told us what they like about the platform, including that it offers entertainment, an avenue to learn about what’s going on in the world, a place to express themselves and even a way to make money. What, if anything, do you enjoy about TikTok? What do you want lawmakers to know and understand about how young people use it?

  • Do you believe this bill is a good solution to the concerns that lawmakers and others have raised about the app? Why or why not? What other solutions are worth considering?

Word of the Day: rigorous

0
Word of the Day: rigorous

The word rigorous has appeared in 445 articles on NYTimes.com in the past year, including on Jan. 30 in “If It Isn’t Perfect, Is It Still K-Pop?” by Jin Yu Young:

Balming Tiger — the name comes from Tiger Balm, a Singaporean ointment — started out as a party crew, organizing events with DJs around Seoul.

Singers and producers gradually came onboard, and they evolved into a full-fledged performing act. Chanhee and Omega Sapien both left school to devote themselves to the group full time. (“At first, I lied to my mom, saying I had to take a break from school to go into the military,” Chanhee said.)

A grass-roots origin story like that is practically unheard of in the world of idols. The vast majority of them audition for a management company and then, if they make it, undergo rigorous training that can last years.

Can you correctly use the word rigorous in a sentence?

Based on the definition and example provided, write a sentence using today’s Word of the Day and share it as a comment on this article. It is most important that your sentence makes sense and demonstrates that you understand the word’s definition, but we also encourage you to be creative and have fun.

Job search tips for a career change

Job search tips for a career change

This week, we’re continuing our job search exploration and talking about a topic that has come up many times in the comment section: changing careers.

We can’t say we’re surprised that this is such a hot topic—it’s very common for people to shift directions at some point during their careers. After all, over time, your priorities may change, you may find new passions, or you may simply want something different than you wanted when you first began your career.

These conversations may be particularly alive within our community because on Coursera, you can find several Professional Certificates from industry leaders that are designed to prepare you for an entry-level position in careers like data analysis, cybersecurity, and digital marketing. Many learners earn this credential in order to demonstrate foundational skills development in their desired new career area.

But honing your skills and earning a credential is only one part of the career change journey. Here are our simplified steps for preparing for a career change:

  1. Assess your current career.
  2. Clarify your career goals.
  3. Research potential careers.
  4. Read job descriptions.
  5. Define your course of action.

Now, how do you get from the job you have to the job you want?

Let’s explore some strategies.

If you’ve been here for a while, you already know our number one tip: know your goals. Having clarity about the outcomes you’re aiming for can enable you to strategically plan your path forward. For guidance on goal-setting, revisit our issue on professional development goals.

Think about what you want more of, what you want less of, and what your top priorities are for your career. Then, consider what types of roles align with these goals.

For example, salary might be a key driver for you. To find potential roles, you could search databases that report average pay, like the US Bureau of Labor Statistics or Glassdoor, for roles that match your desired compensation and read role descriptions to decide whether those roles interest you. You can also search for job lists online using keywords that match your criteria. For example, if you’re looking for a work-from-home role that pays well, you may search the internet for “high-paying remote jobs.”

Next, focus on your skills. You can learn any technical skill that you need in order to qualify for a role but pay close attention to your transferable skills.

Even though this may be your first time pursuing a role in this specific field, you still bring several years of work experience with you, and that experience is valuable. On your resume and in your cover letter, relate the work you’ve done in the past to the work you hope to do in the future by highlighting the aspects of your previous roles that are most relevant to your future role.

For example, let’s say you are transitioning from high school math teacher to data analyst. Hiring managers may not feel strongly about your experience writing lesson plans, but they will be impressed by your analytical approach to test prep by assessing five years of student performance in order to optimize your areas of focus. Likewise, your Teacher of the Year award may hold more meaning within your school district, but your demonstrated success in communicating complex mathematical concepts in an engaging way that motivates stakeholders may be enticing.

Lastly (for now), we recommend leaning on your network. Finding a job is not easy, especially when you’re trying to do something new. With the ease of online applications, companies are receiving more qualified applicants than ever, which can mean that people are applying for more jobs and receiving less feedback. Your network can help you identify job opportunities, recommend you for positions, or be your sounding board when things feel tough.

Revisit our issue on networking tips to explore ways to grow your network, and check out the Coursera Community to connect with learners working toward the same goals you are.

Keep growing

For more career change advice, read our articles on changing careers in your thirties, forties, and fifties.

For step-by-step resume guidance, try SUNY Online’s five-hour course, How to Write a Resume.

To dream up your next career move, check out the University of California, Santa Cruz’s course, The Career Design Lab: Change your Job, Change your Life, or explore other possibilities with Coursera’s Career Academy.

Here’s What We Know About GPT-5 So Far (& What We Hope to See)

Here’s What We Know About GPT-5 So Far (& What We Hope to See)

GPT-5 is coming, but we don’t know exactly when. The highly anticipated generative pre-trained transformer from OpenAI is expected to surpass the current models that you can work with — and that’s saying a lot, considering how advanced GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 are.

“We’re going to make the model smarter; it’s going to be better at everything across the board,” Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said discussing future iterations of GPT at the World Government Summit in January. “This is a bigger deal than it sounds because what makes these models so magical is that they’re general.”

Performance typically scales linearly with data and model size unless there’s a major architectural breakthrough, explains Joe Holmes, Curriculum Developer at Codecademy who specializes in AI and machine learning. “However, I still think even incremental improvements will generate surprising new behavior,” he says.

So, what could a smarter and better GPT really be capable of? Ahead we’ll break down what we know about GPT-5, how it could compare to previous GPT models, and what we hope comes out of this new release.

Learn something new for free

A brief timeline of GPT models

June 2018

GPT-1

OpenAI put generative pre-trained language models on the map in 2018, with the release of GPT-1. This groundbreaking model was based on transformers, a specific type of neural network architecture (the “T” in GPT) and trained on a dataset of over 7,000 unique unpublished books. You can learn about transformers and how to work with them in our free course Intro to AI Transformers.

February 2019

GPT-2

In late 2019, OpenAI developed GPT-2, the successor to GPT-1. This large transformer-based language model had 1.5 billion parameters — variables that the model learns from data during training — and was trained on a dataset of 8 million web pages. For context: that’s 10 times the parameters and data as GPT-1 used.

June 2020

GPT-3

With GPT-3, OpenAI upped the number of parameters to 175 billion.

November 2022

GPT-3.5

In November 2022, ChatGPT entered the chat, adding chat functionality and the ability to conduct human-like dialogue to the foundational model. The first iteration of ChatGPT was fine-tuned from GPT-3.5, a model between 3 and 4. If you want to learn more about ChatGPT and prompt engineering best practices, our free course Intro to ChatGPT is a great way to understand how to work with this powerful tool.

March 2023

GPT-4

The latest GPT model came out in March 2023 and is “more reliable, creative, and able to handle much more nuanced instructions than GPT-3.5,” according to the OpenAI blog about the release. In the video below, Greg Brockman, President and Co-Founder of OpenAI, shows how the newest model handles prompts in comparison to GPT-3.5.

TBD

GPT-5

An official release date for GPT-5 hasn’t been announced yet.

What to expect from GPT-5

Even more multimodality

When Bill Gates had Sam Altman on his podcast in January, Sam said that “multimodality” will be an important milestone for GPT in the next five years. In an AI context, multimodality describes an AI model that can receive and generate more than just text, but other types of input like images, speech, and video.

In September 2023, OpenAI announced ChatGPT’s enhanced multimodal capabilities, enabling you to have a verbal conversation with the chatbot, while GPT-4 with Vision can interpret images and respond to questions about them. And in February, OpenAI introduced a text-to-video model called Sora, which is currently not available to the public.

Future GPT upgrades will expand on the modalities that ChatGPT can work with: “Clearly, people really want that,” Sam said on the podcast Unconfuse Me. “We’ve launched images and audio, and it had a much stronger response than we expected.”

Improved “reasoning” and accuracy

AI systems can’t reason, understand, or think — but they can compute, process, and calculate probabilities at a high level that’s convincing enough to seem human-like. And these capabilities will become even more sophisticated with the next GPT models.

“Maybe the most important areas of progress will be around reasoning ability,” Sam said on Unconfuse Me. “Right now, GPT-4 can reason in only extremely limited ways.” GPT-5 will likely be able to solve problems with greater accuracy because it’ll be trained on even more data with the help of more powerful computation.

“Pre-training” is the process where the model learns from training data to generate probability distributions. The more diverse and robust the training data is, the better AI is at generating new content.

One thing to keep an eye on is the context window, Joe says. A token is a chunk of text, usually a little smaller than a word, that’s represented numerically when it’s passed to the model. “It’s basically how the model understands language,” Joe says. Every model has a context window that represents how many tokens it can process at once. GPT-4 Turbo has a context window of 128,000 tokens, while Google’s Gemini 1.5 has a context window of up to 1 million tokens.

“If GPT-5 makes similarly huge context available to the public I think it’ll have profound implications for research, learning, and analysis across a variety of domains,” Joe says. “You’ll be able to paste huge amounts of knowledge into a single question you’re asking the model, saving countless hours and dramatically increasing the productivity of knowledge work.”

But it’s important to remember that these models can inherit limitations from earlier versions. GPT-4, OpenAI’s most advanced system, can confidently produce inaccuracies and lapses in reasoning, and perpetuate social biases. “If you ask GPT-4 most questions 10,000 times, one of those 10,000 is probably pretty good, but it doesn’t always know which one,” Sam said on the podcast. “You’d like to get the best response of 10,000 each time, and so that increase in reliability will be important.”

Customization capabilities

The ability to customize and personalize GPTs for specific tasks or styles is one of the most important areas of improvement, Sam said on Unconfuse Me. Currently, OpenAI allows anyone with ChatGPT Plus or Enterprise to build and explore custom “GPTs” that incorporate instructions, skills, or additional knowledge. Codecademy actually has a custom GPT (formerly known as a “plugin”) that you can use to find specific courses and search for Docs. Take a look at the GPT Store to see the creative GPTs that people are building.

Sam hinted that future iterations of GPT could allow developers to incorporate users’ own data. “The ability to know about you, your email, your calendar, how you like appointments booked, connected to other outside data sources, all of that,” he said on the podcast.

How to use GPT-5

The release date for GPT-5 hasn’t been announced yet, but it’s safe to say that it’s in the works. (OpenAI had been working on GPT-4 for at least two years before it officially launched.) It’s also possible that OpenAI could roll out an intermediate GPT-4.5 before GPT-5, like they did with 3.5. To date, there’s been no official statement from OpenAI about the timing of releases.

OpenAI’s pricing is structured so that ChatGPT Plus subscribers get access to the latest model for $20 a month, while free subscribers can use the older version. You can select the model you want to work with from a dropdown menu in ChatGPT. Here’s what it looks like currently with GPT-4:

You can change the model you work with in ChatGPT by clicking the dropdown menu.

TL;DR

So, what does all this mean for you, a programmer who’s learning about AI and curious about the future of this amazing technology? The upcoming model GPT-5 may offer significant improvements in speed and efficiency, so there’s reason to be optimistic and excited about its problem-solving capabilities. But it’s not going to instantly change the world.

“People have these unrealistic expectations that GPT-5 is going to be doing back flips in the background in my bedroom while it also writes all my code for me and talks on the phone with my mom or something like that,” Logan Kilpatrick, Head of DevRel at OpenAI, said on an episode of Lenny’s Podcast. “I’m like, ‘That’s not the case.’ It’s just going to be this very effective tool, very similar to GPT-4, and it’s also going to be become very normal very quickly.”

It’s crucial to view any flashy AI release through a pragmatic lens and manage your expectations. As AI practitioners, it’s on us to be careful, considerate, and aware of the shortcomings whenever we’re deploying language model outputs, especially in contexts with high stakes.

The best way to prepare for GPT-5 is to keep familiarizing yourself with the GPT models that are available. You can start by taking our AI courses that cover the latest AI topics, from Intro to ChatGPT to Build a Machine Learning Model and Intro to Large Language Models. We also have AI courses and case studies in our catalog that incorporate a chatbot that’s powered by GPT-3.5, so you can get hands-on experience writing, testing, and refining prompts for specific tasks using the AI system. For example, in Pair Programming with Generative AI Case Study, you can learn prompt engineering techniques to pair program in Python with a ChatGPT-like chatbot. Look at all of our new AI features to become a more efficient and experienced developer who’s ready once GPT-5 comes around.

Also, I can add your logo to the header to give it an extra touch of personality. In case you don’t have a logo yet, don’t worry, you can use one that comes with the design, or I can create a custom one for you!
