    I had a similar issue with a USB hub some time ago — what solved it for me was checking the power settings of the laptop. What happened in my case was that the laptop was going into sleep mode and the USB hub was in a soft lock after waking.

    Well, considering PCIe is doing the same voodoo magic with their sixth and seventh version, and all of that with the same backwards compatibility, AND optical is a crazy idea they're just starting to think about, I'm sure thunderbolt (and USB) can push more data in the future. We just need to keep in mind that current hardware is the bottleneck, not the connection - even a 4090 doesn't saturate a 8x PCIe 5 in full. Datacenter applications are, of course, different, but for the majority of use cases, it's enough!

    AI development can have several meanings, ranging from the research and math part to building software that leverages off-the-shelf ML models.

    A good resource I've found is AI Canon, which already aggregates many of the things that you'd want to read up on to get up to speed on what the current state of machine learning is. It has papers, blog posts, courses, and guides that had a significant impact on the field of Machine Learning in recent years.

    I also really like the links that @JesusShuttlesworth provided, and can't ever not recommend 3Blue1Brown!
