Well, for problems that are simply looking for a ranked relationship if you have human input it could be used to train a ML that attempts to look for similar correlations...or you could just use your human mechanical turks that are already

Dirty secret: "The customers who bought also bought" algorithm doesn't require ML/AI. You can accomplish that with relational algebra on a precomputed data warehouse job and only for products with strong correlation. T

I'm in the NYC market. I use Lyft to get around and Uber Eats to order things that could never have a business model delivering to me. To me market capture is just as bad as the original Taxi model, but even Taxis have gotten around to

Amazon sees a lot more and all they really care about is what you view and what you buy. Everything else is noise with current tech.

This has always been my interpretation. I was unaware the idea was to sell C02 heavy companies.

I've seen coworkers die in their 30s, 40s and 50s from cancers and heart attacks. Can concur.

It's easy to ignore. Just as easy as 2003 when the American empire secured the ME oil unilaterally from Iraq by ousting Saddam while all other powers made no retaliation for the move other than strong condemnation which is really the s

That's not the same. This is more along the lines of examining what is causing the negative CP. The margin is impacted by several factors that determine the cost, but then you can go a step further and look at the net impact on profit

I’ve worked for Amazon. The thing you have to remember on the retail side is much of the focus is on CP (contribution profit) and much of analysis has to do with finding the largest negative CP products in different marketplaces and pulling

It's also worth remembering that innovations in manufacturing are quite often 'short cuts' that have the same or better result with less process.

Fair point. It depends on what the project is.

After 60 years of advancements in networked computing we should see not just the performance benefits, but also the lifestyle benefits. I don't see the point of sitting in an open plan office especially when you have cliches of people

I would probably go with US-EAST-2 just because it's isolated from anything except perhaps a freak Tornado and better situated on the eastern US. Latency to/from there should be near optimal for most eastern US/Canada populat

Netflix actually added the additional AZs because of a prior outage that did take them down. "After a 2012 storm-related power outage at Amazon during which Netflix suffered through three hours of downtime, a Netflix engineer noted tha

It’s refracted light arcing in the atmosphere. That’s not a hallucination. Treating it as some continuous entity is a hallucination of our minds. There’s nothing suggesting the start of the arc has anything to do with the end, but we call t

It appears to have an observer quality to it. The one that sticks out the most in my recent memory is the 2006 Chicago O'Hare sighting. I remember this going through a pretty quick 1 or 2 day news cycle. Fairly alarming given the numbe

When you consider the effort to get to that stage of locomotion it's amazing that flying birds haven't advanced faster technologically.

As much as a I like the movie it's worth noting that on such short timescales there's probably a more significant impact of nutrition differences and the failure of IQ measures across different society structures ie agrarian, indu

The long term capital gains loss is funny. I think I ended up with something like 30 years worth of LTCG losses I'll be able to carry forward. It's like a reminder that just keeps on reminding year after year how badly you can get

They are, but there are still some startups that use options. At least the liquidation is easier with the RSUs, but it doesn't prevent the fall off post IPO as people wait (rightfully so) to see quarterly results employee cashouts befo

Seems to be normal form. I don't have enough fingers to count the number of times companies go public, primary investors exit, stock slumps. Employees who have been with the company several years get stuck waiting 6 months to sell any

If only it was so clean cut. Tesla isn't even operating in all 50 states due to specific laws in 1/2 which prohibit direct sales. This is part of the reason for switching to service centers and transitioning sales completely to ap

Right. It means exactly what it means. Actual test did not match expectation. Thus, there is an anomaly. Sometimes that means "boom" and sometimes that means bad sensor and sometimes it means the result was outside the margin and

Or the more unnerving and less useful personality trait of lying. The Turing test is after all a game of deceit. Whether the human believes the AI to be human or the AI believes itself to be categorically human begins to blur the lines.

Gateways filter that before internal services see anything. There's not any reason to be playing with passwords beneath the Authentication layer. Credentials should be exchanged for the customer identity and expirable nonce. If that mi

That would ignore the potential it represents. Miniscule today. Amazon already dogfoods this product to handle verification of employee badges so you know the person swiping in is actually the person the badge belongs to. It's a real-t

As a NYC resident for 11 years now I see this as a necessary transition. The streets aren't getting any wider unless we do away with street parking. I don't hear anyone rushing to suggest that option, although it's easy to fo
