Hi Peter, thanks for doing this AMA! I’m a cofounder of a startup in the US. Two of us are here on green cards, but our third cofounder is based in Switzerland. He has a PhD from a…

Hi, I've been a data scientist in FAANG for 10 years. I realize that I heavily rely on data engineers to ensure that I have data ready to analyze / create tables on top of. I would…

To me less boring. I used to struggle to understand new concepts as they were presented. That year though, I was able to follow what the teacher was saying "live", ask interesting …

I went to the most prestigious high school in France. The top 2 students in my maths class shared one thing in common: they would study the curriculum the summer before. I did it o…

I would argue that a core benefit of using Substack, beyond the easiness to write, publish, send emails, is trust for payments. I would be more reluctant at putting my credit card …

Was speaking to a friend starting a Data Science master's and he asked me this question. For content, currently working at FAANG, here's what I see: 1. Sharing of code is a pain. K…

Hi Hacker News, I'm a data scientist and I'm working on a side project. I think it has potential and want to start showing it to the world and have people interact with it. What's …

Potential solution: download all videos locally [1] As an added benefit, you'll skip all sponsored content. Just put this in your terminal once you install yt-dlp: yt-dlp --sponsor…

As someone who has worked at big social media companies, I can say the conventional wisdom about content moderation being a carefully planned process is off-base. The reality is th…

I can't seem to find a link to the git or documentation. I'm very curious how this is achieved? Is a model fine tuned? If so how? I'd be most interested in seeing how they formatte…
