Impact on oil should be massive I think. That canal supplies most of the oil to Europe.

Such a lie. Western people (mostly the US, but Europeans also) pollute by FAR the most per person. Whatever China pollutes is mostly _also_ for western people, because they produce most of our crap.

Big in absolute numbers, but the US is way worse per capita.

How about any hobby projects from Kaggle, advent of code or something like that? I find those things very refreshing after my mundane day-job.

You can't tell Oil companies to stop producing oil, if as a consumer you still drive a gasoline car that uses tons of oil. Both the supply and the demand need to be tackled. As long as we keep importing cheap plastic crap from China, f

Google maps: I love checking out random places in the world. I then inevitably end up in the Wikipedia rabbit hole to research all sorts of details and history about those places.

Am I weird for being sad that they don't want to take any photos of the inside? I'd love to see what it looked like in the original setting. I guess I have a morbid curiosity.

There is an oversupply of people who only know how to train models and throw them over a wall to have someone else sort out the mess. There is an undersupply of technically skilled people who have the knowledge and experience to sort this m

There are payrolling companies that take care of all this. They have subsidiaries in every country, will give your remote employees all the things they have a right for according to the local laws, and send you an invoice.

I'm pretty sure Bill Gates has a way way bigger net positive impact on the environment than you, or almost any of us here. Just because he is rich doesn't mean he has a net negative impact. Rich people like him have the money and

The different is that Mt Gox was run by a wildly incompetent guy. This one was just a plain scam. Especially back in 2013/2014 I have personally managed many exchanges "disappear". The excuse was usually that they were hacked

I'm sorry but why would you ecen use GPT-X for a chatbot? It's open-ended and only gives answers that are statistically likely; not answers that are actually true because it has no real understanding of meaning. The agenda example

Kubernetes is dramatically complex to the point where I refuse to touch it if I have to do any configuring myself. Unfortunately there are not really any good alternatives. I work on the Azure stack myself, and it has only Azure Container I

I did quite some. It's an investment type with very little downside a quite some upside if you buy in near NAV. Just don't hold them post-merger, you typically end up bagholding.

I agree that there is no intrinsic value here, but it's a " ponzi scheme" that has been going on for 12 years now, and there are no signs of this stopping. I think we can safely stop calling it a ponzi scheme. Otherwise, by t

What does Bill Gates care about optimizing tax? He is old, isn't planning on giving his money to his children and he has so much money he wouldn't even be able to spend it if he wanted to. It makes no sense. Im pretty sure he does

A nice user interface is of no use if you can't use said user interface to do any actual trades (the whole reason you are with them).

Using a neural network for things that have clear cut rules is wrong. When you know the exact rules, implement them as such, instead of bruteforcing a guesstimation. This is also why I'm sceptical of the usr of GPT-3 for all sorts of p

That sounds... very weird. Something is for sure wrong in your org. Anyway, the point, I think, is that data engineers and data scientists should be integrated in one team and not operate in different silos.

Why do you think that coded ETL is winning over the click-and-drag variant? I'd say the latter makes things a lot easier no?

This is 100% my experience. I got hired as a ML engineer to bring a data scientists models into production. I did the same as you by tearing the whole thing apart and engineering it properly. I also look at the models, and oh boy... that da

The book "designing data-intensive applications" is really really good, and covers all the concepts (although not per sé the tools) you need to understand.
