I went from zero to getting a position in ML research (in a year) (glibert.io)

Hi HN! I went through quite a ride last academic year when I went from knowing nothing about modern ML to getting an offer for a research internship. Someone emailed me today asking how I did it, I went on to write a long email detailing the steps I went through. I was quite satisfied with the end result and decided to share it online! Feedback appreciated and hope you can learn something new out of this post.
