I would not let the author's tongue-in-cheek title discourage you from reading what is a very widely respected, well-received book :). Unless the rest of the books on your list are…

Especially if you have Python experience, then yes the opportunity definitely exists. For example when I hire MLEs (which I am doing now if anyone wants to apply - supportlogic.io)…

Assuming you looked at or seriously considered the i3 - in what way(s) was it 'not good enough' for you to stick to your favorite brand? I'm not a big BMW person but I always liked…

> My argument was based on the premise that votes from power users are more valuable as they better at judging the quality of the content. As someone responsible for designing and …

Really enjoyed this post and explanation, thank you! I work in ML and used to live on Alma St in Palo Alto so it really hit home for me :). I also acutely enjoy the notion that a p…

You can hire developers/engineers anywhere but it's hard(er) to find leadership and/or VC connections elsewhere. I moved from the Bay to Raleigh, NC. If I wanted to start a B2B AI …

I am actively interviewing someone with 4 years and someone with 20 years of experience for the same role. Our needs are quite specific but it is not our first or last hire in that…

Ahhh hello fellow Illini. I didn't mind the long bus rides too much, but I was ~20 and probably hungover most if not every time. Not something I'd rely on as a functioning adult, t…

On the other hand, sales people are quickly dismissed if they don't meet their goals; it's a double-edged sword.

About Waymo: I used to think they were a leader in this space, partly based on their published safety statistics, but I am no longer so sure. I had the great fortune of living in "…

Really enjoyed the article, and followed on twitter. Good luck with the launch. Follow-up question: Do you see a correlation between your predictions and actual finishing order inc…

Your ability to eat as much food as you desire is synonymous with living in a first world country. The ability murder as many animals as you want is not the desired state I look fo…

You need to scold your children. That's a metaphor - of course you shouldn't treat your reports like children. But if they possess the following attitude, it's on you as the manage…

This analogy is interesting because it kind of proves you're both 'right', depending on the environment. In middle/high school, there is often 'that kid' who _is_ the best at all s…

Really intrigued by the idea and anxious to try it out! After connecting my Gmail I can only get a white screen. How do I report the bug to y'all? Best of luck, many commenters on …

I'm a runner, and I love it. Two things from my POV. 1) Gyms are no competition for my money because I have no interest in going. 2) I am continually relieved at how cheap running …

Why do you say that? I am a Game Pass subscriber and find myself playing _many_ more indie games with it than before. It's easier for me to pay for the service and effectively amor…

You sound like someone who has read Systemantics/The Systems Bible by John Gall? If not, you are likely to enjoy it. For anyone else reading, I enjoyed it tremendously and highly r…

I have disdain for Facebook as a company _but_ I am hiring a data scientist now (NLP focus, if you're interested/know someone) and would gladly hire someone from FB. I've already i…

If you're an endurance athlete the Apple Watch will not compare to the Garmins, Suuntos, etc., of the world. I am a Garmin user and a friend is a PM for Apple and I've had this arg…

Have you dealt with this in production? One of our data scientists suggested pulling in TF as a dependency into a mainline prod service just yesterday and there were some suspicion…

For others interested in why ray tracing scales O(log N), this is covered in an earlier video in the NVIDIA "Ray Tracing Essentials" series, specifically this one: https://youtu.be…

Indeed! I have had similar... hesitation? when it comes to getting in a book club. I love reading, I have several friends that love reading, but I couldn't possibly imagine regular…

Rivian, an all-electric "luxury adventure vehicle" (imagine Tesla for trucks and SUVs) plans on doing just that: https://www.engadget.com/2019/06/14/rivian-second-life-batte...

The pairing of peaceful protest and "work within the system" is ultimately what made lasting social progress in both examples. Without the Suffragettes, the XIX Amendment would not…
