No. If you can’t find a job as an engineer in this white hot market, it’s time to think of a career change. That’s the cold, hard truth. Things are crazier than I’ve seen them in 20 years. Empathy does not motivate. Get off your ass and str

I’m older than that myself. Doing pretty good.

Your bank account says “find a better job”. In today’s job market there’s really no excuse for anyone who can understand at least half the news posted on this site to make less than six figures.

Let me guess: you had a heck of a time hiring qualified engineers.

People who start companies are typically looking to increase “wealth inequality”.

We’re not long time pals with the CEO, like they are with CTO. The company is basically built on my work, and will die if I leave.

What’s the justification though?

I heard they will actually cut your base pay if stock goes up “too much”. Is this true?

Don’t peanut butter then. Put 3 on TF, 3 on PyTorch, and the remaining 4 on shared library of some sort. You’re right that doing 10 things at once is a recipe for failure, but the reality is, majority of frameworks don’t really matter all t

One thing I don’t get is why AMD is not paying attention to the deep learning market. They could easily turn things around within a year with a team of 10 solid engineers, yet they seem to be choosing not to. I’m pretty sure the chips are c

How’s the perf per dollar? It’s not enough to “bring” it to AMD, it must be competitive as well.

That’s how long they are at work, not how long they’re actually doing work.

Great managers do that when they can no longer cope, or feel the person can do a better job, not when they want to work 4 hours a day.

My stake is considerably larger than that. It’s what we’re offering to a great new hire. Guys in their mid 20’s, super talented, but nevertheless don’t have a clue. And enough with this “making a bet” bullshit. Founders aren’t betting their

They don’t even do that. :-)

It kind of is if you demand more than that from everyone else. A peon is killing himself for 0.5% equity while you’re sitting pretty on a 40% stake. It’s not like people are dumb or blind.

Our CEO is strictly a 9 to 5 dude. CTO, too. And this is at a startup, I imagine if this was an established company, they wouldn’t even show up. In general they just push the responsibility onto the people who are willing to take it, and th

This is the physical equivalent of rewriting a complex software system from scratch. Seems like it’ll be less pain and effort than modifying the existing system, yet five years later you end up with a pile of shit that you’re tempted to rew

Gluconeogenesis can work off excess protein, too. Also, excess protein raises insulin, which is tied directly to weight gain.

That, too. Everyone is so eager to offer their “valuable” opinion and omit the parts of the story that don’t conform to that opinion.

Another problem is keto seems difficult to sustain over the long term. People drop off and regain all of their weight.

Can’t wait for a $1000 toilet paper holder startup, with no less than $100m in venture funding. They can write it in Go or Rust, and use deep learning running on FPGA to detect when you’re low on paper, and order it from Amazon automaticall

Exciting. Test it in rainy Seattle and freezing Alaska, too. If this works, this would show real, tangible leadership in the field. No one can do this yet, and autonomous driving tech is not to useful if it craps out in inclement weather.

Amazon is notorious for the opposite actually, at least in their retail business.
