ummm you are probably wrong. those job postings probably want people with PhDs in Computer Science/Statistics/Applied Math that did hard things with data.

maybe i am just tired right now but "average of sums is equal to the sum of averages" is basically true 100% of the time-it is called the linearity of expectation and is a basic fa…

I don't know if people do this for vision yet but I know some people doing this for RL for robotic control.

andrej karpathy is kinda pretty freaking legit but I think the waymo team is probably stronger/larger and has significantly more engineering maturity. caveat: I don't do vision.

for anyone who maybe got confused SLAM stands for Simultaneous Localization and Mapping. edit: I think if it is possible to do SLAM without LIDAR waymo will definitely beat TESLA t…

Reading a full unedited transcription of a speech from a president is also pretty direct... that's existed for 150 years at least i.e. https://yorkblog.com/yorkspast/read-the-actua…

Elmo is bae

you must do theory right? tcs? based on the name edit: AI and ML are close enough :)

freeman dyson doesn't have a PhD either jajaja

we call them hidden layers because of path dependence i.e. that is what people called them at first. the first neural network-like things would have input nodes directly connected …

https://arxiv.org/list/cs.LG/recent from there I look for papers 1. Immediately relevant to my current interests 2. by people I who know write good papers. For chaff-vs-wheat some …

1. arxiv 2. nytimes [trying to quit] 3. reddit [trying to quit] 4. hackernews [trying to quit] tbh I really like trying to minimize my browsing in the morning.

100% correct. I think we are both very lucky in that we are able to do fun science and chase our intellectual interests with a realistic and still fun safety net. Also those closet…

I could rant about this for hours. I actually just went to a defense for a deep learning paper that had a ton of abstract algebra. I am honestly not really a fan of deep learning a…

Well I would be happy to provide some context. I just finished my first year of CS Phd in ML (more on the theory side) and I really like it. I think most of the places you would wa…

being around really smart people doing interesting things is pretty great.

are you already a grad student or are you considering it? in my department [we are an outlier probably] post doc wages are actually pretty comparable to industry i.e. >= 100k. 40k …

> And a blockchain would be a way to do it I can't even.

meh as a baby academic I am not convinced that the nepotism protectionism elitism of academia are markedly higher than the 'real world'

you should be more specific-what part of CS? all the CS postdocs I know see a) pretty happy b) have a really easy back up of a high paying industry gig that they can pivot to becau…

while there are good parts to this analysis - military grade tech wildly over-budget and delayed

did you read the article? she clearly suffered severe damage.

woah-also this really like-viscerally demonstrates the destructive power of rifles.
