This is very common behavior. This is where a good manager can really help. They can recognize this is happening and then provide context. One approach to deal with ambiguity is to…

This is called contextual advertising. It's becoming more popular as cookies are becoming less effective.

There were some interesting algorithms that came out of the contest. There was a matrix factorization algorithm that worked pretty well. Another "guy in a garage" tried to incorpor…

Well, AI is changing so fast nobody can really tell you what it is.

I think the AI winter was over by 2007. There was a lot of hype about machine learning and big data. The Netflix Prize for building a Recommender model launched in 2006. There was …

Yes, the Singularity came from Kurzweil.

I bet somebody could make a movie about this.

I agree. When you have a large PR like this, here's how I like to get it reviewed. 1. Give reviewers sometime to become familiar with the PR. They might not understand all parts of…

I think Denver home prices have decreased by 4% since the peak in 2022. I don't think anybody is going to be permanently underwater. Home prices changing should be a second order e…
