This is not the point. The point is you misquoted the article without understanding the full context, and was corrected. The parents weren't judgmental of an online life, they were…

I'm a similar position as you in terms of job, salary and balance. But this is my 5th job out of college and the longest I've been in a single job. When I hit my 4year mark, I star…

No problem! I have most of the code in very small functions that I'd be willing to contribute. At my company we have very time sensitive AB tests that we have to run with very few …

Great package! I'll test it out on my free time. I'm wondering if you'd like to accept a contribution for Bayesian AB Testing, based on this whitepaper[0] and developed in Numpy. I…

I stand corrected! It was my impression that many methods used in ML such as Support Vector Machines, Decision Trees, Random Forests, Boosting, Bagging and so on have very deep roo…

Most models are derived of Machine Learning principles that are a mix of classic probability theory, Frequentist and Bayesian statistics and lots of Computer Science fundamentals. …

Frequentist and Bayesian are correct if both have scientific rigor in their research and methodology. Both can be wrong if the research is whack or sloppy.

It's because practicioners of one says that the other camp is wrong and question each other's methodologies. And in academia, questioning one's methodology is akin to saying one is…

I miss the college days where professors would argue endlessly on Bayesian vs Frequentist. The article is very well succinct and even explains why even my Bayesian professors had d…

Hey Peter, I'm a foreigner residing abroad with an american spouse of 10 years and we have kids holding American Passports. I'm currently working as a contractor for a company in t…

That is a much lesser punishment than what the US is doing in this thread. A fine that is a small but non-insignficant percentage of annual revenue is a measured response when you …

I know someone who works on this in Meta. His resume is computer science heavy, with a masters in Machine Learning. On the previous experience side, before getting into Meta, he ha…

I won't be defending Nintendo because their issue with joy-stick drifting, their unwillingness to fix their design flaw, and their constant efforts to stop video game preservation …

Freight broker that wanted to use technology to automate the work of finding trucks, managing the communication between truck, shipper and facilities, and auditing the job of movin…

Like the sibling comment has said. But what we saw during the peak was crazy, and some investors and execs thought it would last. At least in regards to what pertains FTL freight, …

I work for one of their competitors and I can empathize with them. My thoughts goes to all the employees and their families. The Freight business is collapsing after an unrealistic…

Process, git and S3. We trained the whole team to: - version the analysis/code with git - save the data to the bucket s3:// / - we wrote a small code to get the commit id to build …

The point isn't paying to publish apps, the point is that you can't hack into it if this is anything like iOS. If this runs a version of iOS, we can't access the code that is runni…

Not my first on site either, but normally I'd just need to go through a phone screen and a tech test to secure an onsite, not many hours of interviewing. Plus, I just listened to w…

I'll tell you a personal anecdote about Shopify and why I dislike the company. Back in 2019, I was contacted by Shopify for a job opportunity. After acing multiple remote interview…

I'd love to be able to ask questions about technical documentation, code bases, contract PDFs and so on, without having to worry to send my data unprotected to another company that…

No joke at all. I personally know people that rode this last hiring bubble very stellar and got from analyst to manager in just 2 years, while raising their salary over 300% upward…

I have yet to see a country where licensing equates to high quality in all the services. The examples I've used might not work in some places, but people find flaws in licensing sy…
