No, you can't have my bank account transaction history. I am speaking on behalf of every human being on the planet not employed at Plaid. Why is this a question? I looked it up - I'm sure the regulation is massive so not going to

I don't want to derail the conversation either, but they're owned by softbank which is a glorified holding company of Alibaba (slight exaggeration, granted), so there is a valid tinfoil hat national security argument to be made if

Very large models train and evaluate across networks. Data pipelines are built across networks. You are a large handicap to a small team if you don’t know how networks work. I think a physics background is nothing more than checking off the

I think it's really obvious what people think, the question is whether people know or not. I think it's pretty obvious this should be considered criminal theft. This is like if you hire guys to sweep and dust the shelfs in your ba

You're reading that into my post. Most do not need to know functional analysis. Some absolutely should. My point is not that one needs to know functional analysis to get a machine learning job, its that one of the top AI institutions i

Honestly, consider the flip side as well. This is just going to inflate the bubble more and create more unqualified candidates. AI degree means they're going to be churning out candidates who don't know what tcp is or what context

Let's translate your spiel into English: "I, spookthesunset, am invested in bitcoin" You're right though, it is more than just a mere ponzi scheme: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven%27s_Gate_(reli

That link is easily the greatest thing I've seen on HN. Thank you Until 42, that was a buzzkill
