Martin Shkreli comes to mind. I think he joined a large company's advisory team even after the uproar, but before his conviction. If you have the intellectual chops and enough charisma I don't think the finance world cares that mu

I'm pretty sure he's trying to ruin her career for good, ala "scorched earth strategy." She admits in her diary that she feels incompetent for leadership, having a natural tendency to defer.. etc. Now no firm will ever t

Regarding 1. I would expect like rate on recommended tweets to be a better signal than impressions.

Don't you have a choice.. to not engage with it? If you didn't like it then assuming the metrics system is working correctly, this would be negative feedback to the ML model, causing said content to not be shown in the future.

This is hardly "emulating" pokemon emerald. This is like if I was on a camping trip and was so bored I asked my friend to narrate whatever he remembered of pokemon emerald to me.

Any other graduate-level self-guided courses worth doing? I'm interested in AI/ML/Statistics.

As a sort-of counterpoint I work at a non-amazon FANG where I am much more involved in model training and evaluation. I still have never needed to define a model myself, but it's much more complicated and far more ownership than someon

From my experience, there are plenty of teams in FANG that will hire you as a backend developer in a ML team assuming you can pass their interviews. 90% of the work in these teams is not core ML and is more mundane work supporting these mod

I'm a competitive person, I like being good at things. Choosing a sport, basketball, to stay in shape has worked wonders for me. When I play basketball I don't think of exercise, or my tiredness, I just focus entirely on accomplis

Yeah SF is such a crappy city. Everything's overpriced. Cant get around, public transportation sucks so your lifestyle is limited to a 1 mile radius, which totally defeats the point of being in a city. Could uber everywhere, that'

I'm fluent in Chinese and intermediate in Japanese. I'm aware of pitch accent but it's nowhere near as hard as tones. And one thing to be aware of is a compliment is quite relative if you're a foreigner speaking their la

Chinese has easier character pronunciations? I find it hard to believe that. The tones are what makes Chinese the hardest language to learn. Most people who learn Chinese will never be able to sound Chinese. To Chinese people they will look

I think what he means is he wants to avoid the situation of management chains of like 5 or more. Your example shows a large company should ideally only need 3 or so levels of management, yet there are plenty of long, inefficient chains ever

I'm sorry, is this actually an interview question that the notorious Jane Street asks? This is leetcode easy, medium at best. Quite shocking to me to be honest, as I envisioned this firm as an exclusive bunch of snobbish elitists.

Awesome, thanks so much. Yes, my company has design docs but the architectures are far more complex than the typical system design interview would ask for. Maybe that'd be a good exercise but it's quite a handful to understand.

Thanks dude!! this is exactly what I was looking for.

I'm completely on board with you. Work is an important social outlet and I have co-workers who share the same sentiment. I will just add an anecdote that at my company (Google) the office life has returned back to something like normal

I actually like how the Japanese have preserved their culture. With East Asian nations it is easy to fall into the trap of over-westernization as many of Japan's counterparts have done. I think South Korea is the most prominent example

1. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Oh yes.

Is that why my LeetCode ranking is always so depressingly abysmal? My solutions are always bottom 25% of speed and space usage, and the pass rate for some of their questions are way higher than my average.

It's kind of narrow minded to singly attribute singing as an attention seeking activity, although it can be. It's fun without anyone around, and singing is as much for the listeners pleasure as it is for the singer's ego.

It depends on what company you're going for. If you are looking for a role in cutting-edge ML (FAANG/OpenAI/Deepmind/etc), the stuff you learn from these online courses does not provide the theoretical rigor required. If

I will say this as a coder who has worked with non-technical founders: unless you bring something to the table other than your idea, good coder's will steer clear. The amount of work it takes to bring a coding project to fruition is ma

As a Data/ML Engineer, I cannot quite recommend this route: this role is unlikely to get you to a true ML role. It will give you a ton of exposure to ML techniques and infrastructure practices, but the true modeling work is still done

Ask HN: Is it harder to negotiate higher salary if you leave your current role?
