I mean first you need to figure out the cost of a large municipality getting stuxnetted, and then you need to figure out where to hide when your constituents find out you made that…

Lots of hidden variables in this equation, like the number of ex-parents living only for retribution.

And being good-looking? Are you criticizing them for being fit and handsome?

After watching a mid-tier offering chain together tools like it was a gorilla escaping the zoo I just gave the model its own box. I don’t have time to deal with that kind of nonsen…

It seems like the path is streamlined once they know who you are. This sort of feels like a generational thing but I would have flown over.

Keep an eye on the game modding communities. From my perspective the breadth and depth of individual effort has exploded over the past year or so, lots of big projects for older ga…

This is a collaborative, cross-disciplinary profession. Developing a framework for absorbing new domains and viewpoints is critical. Paying attention to your common core 100-200 le…

I don't really have a use for a model that thinks "how many people are in this photo?" is a political question.

Start thinking about where your numbers come from. Do some qualitative to quantitative conversions for a system with a feedback loop.

Imagine being asked to publish 'beautiful' code for an audience comfortable with doing so themselves. On top of all the theory and practice needed to produce a complete system you'…

The difficulty scale starts with o chem and then goes through all of the arts before it hits another STEM discipline.

Another point of view is that your people are so good that their division turns a profit under mismanagement. It costs MS negative hundred mil to keep the whole thing spun up on a …

I mean the assumption here is that administration needs to be automated. Cheating is an intermittent problem at worst on moderated servers.

It’s weird how every conservative family ends up sending their kids to Wesleyan.

Because you love your children.

From my perspective more like "it didn't work the last 20 times we tried it, but it damn well ought to!"
