Here's my conversation with historian Lars Brownworth all about the Vikings, from the start of the Vikings Age to the conquest of Europe and beyond. This was an epic & mind-blowing conversation.
It's here on X in full and is up everywhere else (see comment).

How to fix your self-image:
Close your eyes. Become aware of the sensations in your body. Focus on how it feels to breathe slower. Do this as you slowly relax every muscle in your body. Head to toe.
Within five minutes you'll notice a tingling sensation in your palms while you relax.
Once that sensation arrives, you will be able to visually go within yourself to create permanent changes in the subconscious: transforming who you believe yourself to be.
Now for the next few minutes, allow yourself to mentally recall a time where you won. The first time you felt truly loved. A risk you took that paid off. The first time you realized you were capable of more than you thought.
Experience the scene fully.
You might notice warm feelings in your chest as you replay these memories.
This is the good part.
Fly to the future and imagine the greatest version of you. Notice how ASSERTIVE they stand. Notice how they appear. Sense their confidence.
They've overcome the things that keep you up at night. They've built what you've only imagined. They live life knowing exactly who they are.
Allow the image to become bigger, brighter...
Time will slow as your subconscious examines every detail.
Now imagine how it would feel if this was you right now. Picture yourself in their shoes. Can you feel it?
Linger there for five minutes.
You find yourself softly smiling knowing this is the happiest and most relaxed you have felt in a long time.
Lie there for a while. Enjoy this moment. Know that you can return here whenever you wish, exactly to this place, where you feel exactly as you do now.
All you have to do is close your eyes and imagine yourself back here. You feel rejuvenated by that thought.
Open your eyes and interact with the world from this state.
Believe it or not this is what you are eventually supposed to feel every single day. You will begin to notice that all the things you want to be are already within.
Few take the time to practice this.
Do this daily and you begin to rewire your mind. Change your beliefs. Think, act, and become the person you've seen glimpses of throughout your life.
This is Self-Hypnosis.
This is Psycho-Cybernetics.
This is how you do it.

I barely see any non-IIT/NIT colleges hiring ML engineers from campus.
If you choose ML, always prefer off-campus jobs.
Today, getting an off-campus job is much easier than before, but you need solid fundamentals:
1. Never put Google Colab projects on your resume
2. Always build end-to-end projects; no UI? Fine, make it a REST API
3. Publish your work publicly on X/LinkedIn
4. Document projects properly on Medium or GitHub README
5. Attend tech meetups or at least actively engage with people’s posts on social media
6. Learning backend is mandatory for MLE, learn Docker at minimum
7. Recruiters don’t want unique project, they want complete end-to-end projects
8. Many companies are hiring for part-time and intern roles in AI/ML
Landing an ML job is hard because it demands strong fundamentals + backend skills + some data engineering knowledge.
Nowadays, jobs are easily found on portals and through LinkedIn DMs with solid proof of work. Luck still matters a lot!!!
Don't expect MLE jobs from college coz most of the Indian professors don't even know Machine Learning.
