Glad you were open to seeing what I'm talking about, and why it concerns me. I also feel I have been guilty of it, and have hesitated to comment in technical conversations as often for the same reasons as you. I've been trying to

I already made clear my reasoning: > demonstrating expertise in a field where being wrong is easy to prove. I find expertise in a highly technical field trains one to filter their thoughts for demonstrable accuracy. Your litany of past p

It would be interesting to pair this with something like MaskRCNN or something which does semantic masking, and then be able to choose the compression levels of different masks.

And what is the SoTA for biological intelligence? While not exactly this, it seems to be pretty similar (even between members of the same species). Snark aside, with a few nuances, you're mostly correct.

I've found as well that once I get really going on a tough problem, it may consume my life for the next several days in a row, it'll be all I do or think about. I wish I knew how people turn it off after a few hours a day and thin

Just as an aside I'd like to mention that if the CTO shopping on the job and not reviewing any of your work is the worst employment experience you've ever had, you should count yourself as lucky still. It's certainly not a gr

Culture shock isn't the only thing that factors into quality of life though. There's a lot of places in the US you could go that you might dislike living in but wouldn't necessarily introduce a significant culture shock compa

I was born and partially raised in Columbus and Ohio in general. I defintiely left for the coast as soon as I could get a job that allowed it. So there's at least certain people they're describing the motivations of correctly. Tha

Here's one I frequented semi-regularly when I lived in Tokyo. It is also maybe one of the most iconic game centers, being in Akihabara right outside the metro station with a large "SEGA" sign. Super not sketchy, mostly normal

Unless I'm missing something, she seems to be a student, possibly estranged from her family since 17, having spent the last year of her adolescence in foster care, so it's plausible that she is currently poor, and needing of a sch

Slightly off topic, but could you go into a bit more detail on this artifact? I thought an artifact was something like a trained model, but you said it was "written" in Scala then Java, which makes me think I don't understand

For others, who are interested in good faith conversations about the problem with people applying to work they call "bs jobs", the point is finding work you as an individual consider meaningful, and learning the skills to do them.

One issue is that you may pay ten people 1MM annually to write your software, but the productivity distribution is likely not only non-equal but also non-linearly so. Those at the top of the productivity distribution are the more likely to

Sounds fair, not everyone is everyone else's cup of tea, I have my preferences and you have yours. I have read the "comic" at this point and the cynical attitude towards work without requisite personal effort to apply only to

I admit I had only read the title: "I have sent hundreds of applications, competing with thousands for yet another ‘bullshit job’. And like many, I’ve had enough" and seen it was a lengthy comic. I have now taken the time to read

I can't relate at all. The progress in artificial intelligence in all categories is fascinating and is in the modern day what electricity was at the turn of the century, during the time of Tesla and Edisson. It is not even fully unders

I wonder how these companies we all work for manage to pay our salaries by selling anything if nothing we build contributes to the needs of peoples families. After all, as you say, people are only buying things to benefit their families, so

Speaking from my personal fields of work, AI (computer vision & generative), AR, and VR, I'd say we've made tremendous progress since 2011. I'd be really curious to hear someone in those fields justify thinking otherwise.

As far as I can tell all social media companies (FB, Twitter, Tumblr, Reddit) receive a lot of dislike in general as being a source of societal ills. I think people just don't like having a mirror held up to the very negative parts of
