Supply chain attack? Does anyone have more info?

It still is! I think getting your foot in the door is much more difficult now compared to 5-6 years ago, similar to difficulty finding entry level work in 2008-2009 financial crisi…

I adored this post right up until: > I have an internal KPI: if in the last three days I haven’t spent at least 30 minutes playing with my kid, there’s something seriously wrong I …

"Give yourself permission" here means acknowledging you're doing a "good enough" job (for now) instead of a "perfect" job, and not beating yourself up about it in the short term. T…

On the other side of this argument, I've seen "just run the dishwasher twice" used as shorthand for giving yourself permission to do whatever is needed to get the job done and not …

Eh, if you hadn't found Stumbleupon then you would have experienced the same effect from one of the zillion other competitors in the attention economy. You're right that this kind …

I found this years ago, during the "Stumbleupon" era of the Internet (does anyone remember this time sink?). I'm so glad it's still alive!

I do this a lot; it's just nice to have some quiet companionship while working on something. The difference between body doubling and "working in an office setting" is mutual agree…

That was after the IBM acquisition.

Hah, this is exactly what I was hoping to find. Thank you!

As an outsider looking at Microsoft, I've always been impressed by the attention to maintaining legacy APIs and backward compatibility in the Windows ecosystem. In my mind, Microso…

If money weren't an object, which labs or lines of research would be the most interesting to you? Do you have strong personal preferences between university/academic research, nati…

I'd recommend starting with Quantum Computation and Quantum Information by Isaac Chuang and Michael Nielsen ("Mike and Ike"). It's the text used in most intro courses. There's an "…

TTS runs Cloud.gov (government cloud provider similar to AWS) and FedRAMP certification. These aren't small programs. TTS also runs data.gov, which hosts tens of thousands of local…

LLMs that use Chain of Thought sequences have been demonstrated to misrepresent their own reasoning [1]. The CoT sequence is another dimension for hallucination. So, I would say th…

As a learning exercise, I enjoyed Neural Networks From Scratch: https://nnfs.io/ There's also a world of statistics and machine learning outside of deep learning. I think the best …

Maybe I'm the outlier here, but 15 minutes to chat with a human about my use case and pricing is way more efficient than donking around in docs/trial product. The only product I re…

What's the compensation scheme for reviewers? Are there any mechanisms to balance out the "race to the bottom" observed in other types of academic compensation? e.g. increase of ad…

A less literal translation like "essentially" or "in essence" is deployed by master Latin translators like Robert Fagles. I've even seen "in a vacuum" which does a better job at co…

Ah that makes more sense, thank you! I wasn't looking at it as a proxy for surrounding development, but now I can see why that might be a more nuanced metric than just region size/…

Is living near a sports stadium really that desirable? I lived a few blocks from the Giants stadium in SF, and I'll never make that mistake again. Running a 15 minute errand on a g…
