A great and free option are Colab notebooks from Google: https://colab.research.google.com/ You can attach a GPU for free, and, if I recall, even a TPU. See https://colab.research.…

Well stated. Until I saw it, I did not realize how many people went from rich (interpretations vary based on your experience, so "comfortable") suburbs and homes to "good" schools …

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but this is like comparing apples to pitbulls. Both of these goals are big milestones, but fundamentally different. With space, everything that was cr…

So are you saying that non-salary benefits are bullshit? Besides work flexibility, culture, purpose, and equity, how is a new venture supposed to compete with an entrenched monopol…

I get the point you're tryin to make, but, then again, who are we to judge what is and is not worthy, especially this early? A lot of "unworthy" things have been extremely value to…

Look, I don't much care for Facebook as a company or as a product. FAIR is a bit separate and does a lot of pure research. FAIR has put out a lot of good work, tools (it supports P…

I'm from the rural Midwest. It may seem pedantic, but _no one_ from the Midwest uses a space in the name. That and the spelling errors reinforce that this is just an inflammatory b…

With all due respect, but it seems apparent that you are not familiar with how electric distribution utilities work, especially in a deregulated state like California, how CAISO an…

A related question to the community, if you have ~5 years of experience, is it okay to have a resume that is more than one page? This includes other sections besides experience (i.…

A piece of advice, two of the words in the large graphic are spelled wrong (explanation and experience).

Jeremy, I'm having trouble finding the (old) 2017 material. I would like to see it for my reference. Do you know where this is located?

Does anyone have a different link to this? It's insecure and Cisco keeps blocking it, so I can't just proceed from Chrome.

Not quite. We're talking about something that is publicly-owned (roads) to something that is (besides certain municipal projects) privately-owned (last-mile internet access). Compo…

No net benefit of the local population. I forgot to include that one word, net . I admit it does make a difference, but perhaps not to the point where people will fixate on that an…

Something about this just makes my stomach sick... A massive corporation is pitting governments against each other for its own gain, often to no benefit of the local population. I'…

I agree but it's unsurprising. Hinton has a bit of "star power" in the ML community. He's done a lot of pioneering work on neural networks, and stated that he's been working on thi…

I want to take a moment to reflect on what a great community HN has. It never ceases to amaze me. The link is from the CS department at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Fal…

Why does Facebook not use something like an MIT license? I am honestly curious.

Many of the comments seem to be focusing on the initial install costs and missing a big point here. Solar can save a lot of money and even make a nontrivial amount of money for the…

I agree. 8-12x ARR seems to be the standard multiplier for valuation of a SaaS startup. This is also growing ~100% YoY at this scale. That being said, 25x seems very bullish. Even …

I view this like much of the rest of communications software (or even software in general). Over time, it tends to go to zero. It can be useful to compare it to video services or e…

This seems like it is Google preparing itself for a future where it will almost certainly be hit with the antitrust hammer here in the US. Google has been getting increasing pressu…

The problem of defencemen getting plastered was not just the trapezoid. A lot of it had to do with the way icing worked. It used to be the d-man had to "touch" the puck for it to b…
