    Curious about how much risk Meta leadership was comfortable with when they decided to layer Yann. Perhaps the winds of open research were already blowing a different direction at t…

    Curious to hear from folks who have used both Metaflow and Kubeflow to understand some of those tradeoffs. Seems like Metaflow is comparatively lightweight, bit more tightly integr…

    I did this, mostly to start and wrap my MSCS (ML focus) and augment my data science skills. Would I have made the same decision in today’s hiring environment? Perhaps not. I was al…

    Definitely. And this isn't even bringing in what can be perceived as the "fuzzy math" of who has the range advantage, combinatorics, and consideration on how to proceed down the ga…

    Yes, but my comment wasn't directed at that point. It was just that we can't reliably say that being a (theoretical) top 3 live game poker player allows us to isolate the most impo…

    Few reasons: 1. I've gotten value from these folks on other platforms and mediums 2. I'm interested in what they have to share 3. I hope that starting to populate my following help…
