I was already contemplating leaving it for a startup, and frankly my response to her behavior was to become even less motivated about pushing that rock up the hill in the large organization I was in. I've since departed for the startu

Edit: I was mistaken in my response, since the commenter named Gebru. The head of AI at Nvidia is not Gebru, it's Anima Anandkumar. Gebru had nothing to do with this. She specifically said the things I stated, in a now deleted tweet.

The problem with AI ethics as a field is that it attracts a whole lot of activists, most of whom have mediocre contributions to the field at best, zero contributions at worst. Watching highly entitled, and often narcissistic people with no

There is plenty of scientific denialism on the right. Along with anti nuclear, the belief that rent control is a remotely good idea is an example of scientific denialism on the left. There are some decent arguments to be made against nucle

While there are technical differences with transforming the data within it's storage location/database, I've interacted with my former employer's board of directors enough to know there's a bigger, rather obnoxious

I could write a novel. I'll keep it brief: 1. Walmart provides as much data as possible to it's suppliers, and expects the suppliers to use this data to then advise Walmart on projected sales and inventory in a collaborative man

I used to do extensive data science work with various retailers, including Target, Walmart, and Amazon. Compared to Walmart, Target is absolutely abysmal on many fronts. The amount of wasted fuel caused by their horrifically inept logistic

Something that adds insult to injury is the amount of moral posturing Amazon engages in when it comes to social justice issues. What could be a bigger social justice issue than paying working class people proper wages and benefits? It just

The software is absolutely a shit show, and this cements the belief they are distracted and have given up in their core business.

Did you read the article? He explicitly stated that the NERC standards, if implemented, wouldn't have prevented the issues. Corporations, corporations, corporations...... it really gets old hearing people blather on like this. Large,

After meeting enough SAP consultants in the ICS space, all I can say is I'm shocked it doesn't happen every day.

It's yet another garbage regression study observing populations. I'm fully aware that statins work to prevent heart attacks by lowering the LDL in the blood, but that's because they treat a symptom rather than the root cause

Aggressive conformists demand religious adherence to established institutions, because the institutions are a source of comfort to them. The parent poster comes off like an inquisitor silencing heretics, because that's exactly what he

The fact that you mentioned the particle physics field is hilarious, because one of the most influential scientific journalists to start attacking the lipid hypothesis was Gary Taubes. Taubes found the lipid story in the course of investig

The "facebook-esque anecdote" was intended to point out the failings of acting as if scientific institutions are practicing science in a pure, non-biased way and blindly trusting the humans in these institutions to not be subject

You are making assumptions that I wasn't skeptical of this study. I am. This study has pretty strong data behind it, and a much more rigorous methodology than studies which were literally foundational to Ansel Keys' lipid hypoth

I gave a talented engineer, who was also a relatively fresh graduate, a task to build a framework that would convert pieces of xml state that rendered in a non-web GUI into a React representation. His solution ended up using as many new fea

Yeah, I get the feeling a lot of times that outsourcing is popular with dysfunctional companies because it shifts a portion of the labor, and thus the resources to managerial staff in the rich country, and the remainder is spent on the actu

The author idiotically projected one office's habits in Kiev to all Ukrainian technologists. Absurd. I've worked with some phenomenal talent in Kiev. I've also had people who would over-engineer the simplest solution in com

Just bought a Macbook pro last week, and now I'm wondering if I was a giant moron for steering away from the M1. Just seemed like it was going to cause me a lot of headaches when my target instances are all on x86.

Everything in the above paragraph sounds like a hyped overstatement. None of it is. As someone that's worked on some rather intensive NLP implementations, Spacy 3.0 and HuggingFace both represent the culmination of a technological lea

I might be wrong, but I suspect that if this pandemic had hit before remote working technology had become widespread amongst professionals and white collar elites, there wouldn't have been such an aggressive, broad lock-down strategy.

Stupidly, no, the standard poverty rate doesn't take into account cost of living, AT ALL. When adjusted for cost of living, California, not Mississippi, has the highest poverty rate, for example.

If by BFO you are referring to "Basic Formal Ontologies", then yes, I'm referring to that "crowd". My thoughts on ontologies in general are that they can certainly be powerful, and I've seen them used in the pa

Something that has struck out to me for many years now is the rather striking lack of reporting on the incredibly strong correlation between parental (both maternal/paternal) age at time of conception and ASM. My nephew is autistic. H
