Maybe its only my gig and my area of the world, but going through the rounds with companies can be quite a grueling process and many recruiters can't explain the exact technical de…

I'm by no means an expert in the field but I do find it exceptionally interesting so i try and keep tabs on some of the research done by people who originated from the same group a…

I completely agree. I used to live in Liege and would travel to NL, Brussels and Hasselt regularly. The juggle between different public transport subscription was difficult on top …

The extensive bushfires and droughts are definitely big factors. I worked briefly for a forestry in rural Victoria, where we would encounter koalas somewhat frequently where we wou…

I have used the MLP classifier[1] before. It's very simple to use (like most of sklearn's models). Worked well for standard and reasonably small classification model, but lacks som…

from the article: 'Warning sign (of a critical moment in AGI development) will be, when systems become capable of self-improvement.' Is the meaning of self improvement here means t…

While many units generally consist of smaller teams, the teams can often be changed and switched around as people get specialized or re-assigned at different points, this generally…

This is from my own experience working at a TP call center, for a major tech client and not in Albania or Colombia. External and internal audits are known for weeks in advance such…

Yes, its hard to tell the exact algorithmic underpinnings of production models that Google uses but you have to assume that although they have some done some impressive strides in …

Yes! The subtitles can be completely different than the dubbing in some cases which makes it difficult for me to watch with both. Also, they sometime use a bit odd translations. I …

English isn't my native tongue so perhaps i'm missing some subtlety, i thought ethnic groups are people who share a common descent? Honestly asking, not trying to nitpick.

Huh, so its not only me. My grandparents came from Libya in the late 1950's, but for some reason the very north of Africa doesn't quite qualify for most people as African "enough" …

Depop isn't alone in this, Vinted[1] has a current valuation of $4.5B and is hugely popular in Belgium, Netherlands and France (maybe more places, but those i can definitely say). …

That's the biggest annoyance in my eyes. As a motorcyclist, i think its ok for the engine to make some noise (not counting the obnoxious cruisers or bike with some aftermarket exha…

The name of the actual study is 'There Is No Evidence That Associations Between Adolescents’ Digital Technology Engagement and Mental Health Problems Have Increased'[1]. I also per…

I'm a DS by title. I don't do any dashboards. Some people on the team collaborate on them occasionally but its generally deciding which metrics are tracked along with creating/main…

I don't see it in this way. Pierre (which is the owner of the local general store) is by no means a pure character- he will take credit for produce that you sell him and will gener…

I think i agree with your general sentiment, but specifically LSTMs were first proposed in a 1997 paper[1], thus my guess is that they didn't have vast resources compared to today.…

> Fixing racial bias in AI is not just a matter of infusing the training data with more melanin (for example), the AI Ethics crowd argues — the actual models are being developed by…

I'm not OP, but as someone who traveled for a few years without the goal of 'finding myself' i actually found the experience pretty transformative to my character. Yes, Some of the…

Interesting to hear, in Belgium for example the homeownership rate seems high(speaking from living here for a while). The culture is very much geared towards buying a house, alone …
