Hire a former SoundClouder

Re: Hire a former SoundClouder
#72Two questions ... 1. This is a somewhat odd spreadsheet to find semi-randomly posted to HN. Can anyone speak to its provenance? 2. Is something, not so public, going on at Sound Cloud or is this just normal turn over for a company of there size?
I find it even more strange that this "phenomena" happened with one of the few startups outside the Valley that did mass layoffs.

#73Sad for Berlin.
But what great times we live in actually, a community caring for people they don't even know.

#74Hi, Markus, Founder of DataRevenue here - we can't open the original sheet for editing as that would put the employees data at risk. So here's another sheet for companies to post and edit directly - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JDx5acZPvdmmSeMyEr77...

#75Earlier quoted context omitted.
I welcome the breadth. Data science is science with data, right? What could be more broad? If anything, it will be nice to break the association somewhat between data science and AI hype.
I also think thats justified. A newer, and more specific term I particularly like is "Machine Learning Engineer", which will probably soon be recoined to "AI Engineer". We (www.datarevenue.com) basically have to use "AI" now to make it clear what we do. Something that would have made me feel awkward just 3 months ago.
Do you see a substantive difference between AI and ML? "Machine learning" to me is pretty cut and dry, in that anytime something is automated we are employing machine learning, literally teaching a machine to do something. "Artificial intelligence" I have a hard time defining, because I don't have a good definition for "intelligence".

I didn't make the 3% cut, and had a pretty awful experience going through the interview process at Toptal. I was given a Euler-project type of problem that I had to live-code under a (I believe) 20 or 30 minutes. After I didn't succeed the interviewer basically hung up on the Skype call, and I wasn't really given any further feedback after soliciting it, other than 'you're allowed to try again after 30 days'. The whole thing seemed a bit ridiculous, as they approached me specifically for my (10+ years) PHP experience. I was told there was a lot of demand for it by their customers.
The Euler problem seemed to have a pretty low bearing on what most PHP programmers would do, so it all seemed super unfair. Had the challenge been anything related to API's, architecture or scalability I'm sure I would have passed. But doing math related to primes simply is not something that I practically ever need in my work so I was fairly dusty.
I would absolutely not recommend interviewing with them. Prepare to be disrespected unless you tick their specific boxes unrelated to the work you'll actually be doing.
