This is a fascinating multi-faceted problem...there is the outright concern of how much of the data is being exposed, but there is also a much more subtle action at play. It appears that MS is using our data to continuously train their larg

This is where I would argue other sites like Glassdoor and others come into play. I prefer not to blur the lines, but I guess in today's digital world that isn't possible. Just to be clear, I agree that we need to hold one another

Agreed...also don't get me started on when ppl start to post highly political or controversial topics. I typically remove them from my network immediately. It's a professional network...act accordingly?

I personally wish LinkedIn would STOP trying to be a social platform. Their UX changes make it feel more instagram-ish with engagements, impressions, etc. I also DO NOT want to have media feeds...it's a frigging professional network. I

Intel has an identity problem and greatly over-estimates its capabilities (or influence...or maybe they have jumped the narcissistic shark all together)?!? TSMC & SAMSUNG have large backing and incentives from their respective governmen

I'm excited to see the performance improvements as well...may be one day we will see a version w/out the GIL. The following notes are interesting: https://lukasz.langa.pl/5d044f91-49c1-4170-aed1-62b6763e6ad0...

I have no doubt the new headsets are phenomenal, but it's not in my character to spend that much time with a VR headset. Not to mention, have they solved the motion sickness that came w/ the earlier headsets?

I honestly don't get it; however, I have two solid data points that lead me a very befuddled conclusion. One of my buddies is an orthodontist who hates his current life but loves video games...he spends most of his free time plugged in

Not a fan of cloud desktops or any "virtualized" desktop. Experience is typically subpar and the worst part is that it requires a stable internet connection. What's the point of that when many of us are working remote and mob

Lots of excellent advice...here is something I like to do. 1) Listen w/out interrupting...look for that natural pause. Also take note that if there is no natural pause, that in itself is a clue to: 1) how the person comprehends informa

I like your blog on how you use EDA, but I'm not sure I'm getting the Machine Learning piece. It would be nice if you guys went into more details, but I appreciate how you were able to tie together different data sources and walke

Why do you say that? I think each field has its strengths and weaknesses. For example, mission critical applications still tend to avoid using DL algorithms since stability can only be proven in the sense of Lyapunov. There is also RL, whic

I think they have very very high potential for simple dynamical (i.e. continuous time) systems. I enjoyed the presentation given at NeurIPS (2018) and look forward to seeing them applied to more real-life scenarios.
