I built a small bot that helps you keep track of information in your slack. A few things I like that are different from bots that do similar things. - You have to explicitly teach …

Longer does not always equal better. The quality of the extended lifespan is key. But, if you could guarantee quality of life, there is still a bimodal distribution I find among my…

When I worked in the office, I thought I could never work at home because I'd be too distracted. Once I started working at home, I realized that WFH is really good for me and that …

I use Chromecast with Prime. Mine's from 2016 so I don't know if they stopped supporting it on newer models. Everything else though, I agree with. Big tech, like any monopoly, does…

Does it matter? I'm no theologian but if the robots take over, isn't that God's will? I'd rather put my faith (and money) in ethics research and really hope that we gradually becom…

With the improvements in speech recognition, NLP, speech generation, I wonder how long before we can quickly spin up a network of false personas simply to provide "witnesses" or ve…

If people using the tool come up with the same designs/artwork, it's pretty clear the tool is responsible. If people have very different outcomes using the tool, then the people ar…

A lot of people talk about minima because thats the language we have for analyzing optimization techniques. Deep Learning is still new enough that there is lots of low hanging frui…

The most useful part of AI is the ETL and feature engineering. Those are also the parts that are now mostly commoditized. ML plays a minor role for most legacy companies. These com…
