I think part of the problem is that the upper bound on neural nets, as far as we can tell, might very well be general intelligence, and things like self-driving cars, and other nea…

Definitely not my experience in big tech data science. 30-50% of data scientists I work with don’t have a PhD, and took the self-taught hacker path, and earn just as much as PhDs. …

+1 To add to this, I do not have a phd in econ, but did what you recommended and work as a data scientist with PhD economists. If you do this, you will make just as much as they do…

Try not to feel this is your one chance and you only have two options. You can get offers again. In addition, you could get work as a machine learning engineer in industry, either …

Scientific method is undergoing intense changes in methodology. I suspect in 50 years the way causal inference is done will in many areas be radically different.

I suspect the future is just a good browser excel, rather than a Linux custom excel.

I assume they are working on it, and in the meantime employees are going out of their way to help where possible in a way that doesn’t scale.

After doing 5 years of interviews, I think part of the issue is Amazon doesn’t really do onboarding, so everyone is scared of making an L6 offer, because the new hire is expected t…

I quit Amazon a few months ago for the same reason. Holy shit Amazon culture does not work over video. I used to work hard, but I would stay late with my cool team and we’d build t…

Not sure what that has to do with anything. Dying in public from drug addiction suicide on the streets of the tenderloin is about as bad as it gets. People aren’t choosing it throu…

Yeah. The safety and peace of the tenderloin is an attractive alternative.

Be super careful that you don’t end up at your 1 year review, and when they ask for your portfolio of work, you show nothing.

You would have sold it at all for $1000 anyway and thought if it as a lucky goof lol.

Nope!

There isn’t enough talented DS management. They end up being managed by people who don’t know what is going on 4/5 times.

If you’re bored in a small town, it’s not a bad idea.

I cannot believe this works for you, hahaha, but I’m glad it does. Nice!!

First “celeb” death that has made me outright cry. It felt more like losing a friend. His show aside, I listened to his weekly twitch show throughout the pandemic, it gave me somet…

I promise the people in FAANG are not more rewarded or happy than you on average, at least with respect to their job. I’ve been in them, and people either complain, or are jealous …

Despite being aware how markets vary, it will never not shock me that 25-27 year old barely non-jr devs on my team make double that. Can’t help but think things are in disequilibri…
