Hi Peter, thanks for the AMA. Are there any benefits to converting from a green card to citizenship, in the context of employment? Access to some government jobs is the only thing …

Amazing idea and execution. If you don’t mind revealing, can you describe the ML components in the background? Model, data trained on, etc.? Thanks and good luck!

There are a ton of topics I learn/read on a daily basis. Some are out of my personal interest, some out of need (when interviewing). I notice that after a while, without enough usa…

Please keep in mind that the tips/tools/techniques that people list are highly subjective and may not be applicable everywhere. I realized this from my own experience (worked at tw…

I did. Once I joined the companies that did not openly answer my questions during interviews (about finances, strike price, etc.), I ended up realizing all the negatives/problems o…

So true! I've interviewed with several startups (about 50-60) in the past, over the course of 5 years. I had offers from most of them, while some of them rejected me after the inte…

Some good points by others on this post. I want to focus on something more latent. Are you sure there are no other distractions in your life? Try to find out if there is something …

I personally know two people who quit high paying industry jobs and moved to reputable research grant universities (within US) as Assistant Professors in their late 30s. This was a…

Yes, the primary utility is to understand how discriminative your features are. There is no meaning of what each face represents. Checkout the Chernoff Fish demo posted below by th…

I agree. I don't think this isn't any more revealing. Just a different way of visualizing. And there is also the drawback of a whole new interpretation when you re-map your input f…

I worked with Chernoff faces long time back and love how this is an interesting way to visualize how discriminative your features are. The idea is that you take features of your da…

I hope the original paper can help: http://wexler.free.fr/library/files/chernoff%20(1973)%20the%...

I lean towards what Velodyne is saying in this situation. I have been working with LiDAR systems for over 4 years of which the last 1.5 years have been towards building autonomous …

You summed up all my speculations in one sentence

Great question. At least in our algorithms we do this - to adjust the driving speed based on the conditions (e.g., visibility or perception capabilities). At the end of the day, yo…

I have the same questions as well. But my best guess is that they probably have permission to drive at non-highway speeds at late nights/early mornings (which is when this accident…

I currently work full-time in the self-driving vehicle industry. I am part of a team that builds perception algorithms for autonomous navigation. I have been working exclusively wi…

This looks great! Nice work. I have a suggestion: Could you highlight a path when an edge is clicked on? I guess the clicking on the nodes can link to their wiki pages.

A lot of very good answers here. Here's my take on this: I went through a similar stage in my life. I was recommended mediation, exercise, etc., and I did religiously follow those.…

The 64 beam output seen on their website [0] looks very good. A couple of good things going for them: * Clean, dense LIDAR data [1] * Readily available (as per their claims in diff…

Some interviewers are great - they are patient, let you talk, are genuinely curious about your previous work, and ask questions such that the interview is meaningful for both parti…

Did any of you succeed in asking such questions to companies (ML/AL or not) and ended up receiving reasonable responses to your questions? My experiences have never been great when…

> The study of more than 2,000 people found that 42 percent of millennials are at least somewhat familiar with bitcoin, compared with 15 percent among those ages 65 and up. Somethi…

Interesting question. Like you, I too believe that a large population may prefer Lyft/Uber type services instead of dealing with the concerns of owning one (e.g., parking, requirin…
