Can someone say more on this point? If there is a "Revolution Plan (WIP)" document shared amongst a few agitators, and someone in power gets their hand on it (and its "checksum" or whatever), then can they figure out _wh

I love the “manager as problem solver”. It’s a somewhat tricky balance between “micromanagement” and problem-solving, but then problem solving is a bit of a discipline after all.

If you do it right… That’s the problem: these metrics often come from overfitted or in-sample data, and are completely unrealistic when it comes to expected generalization performance. I’m at the point where I never trust performance metri

Enlightening sociological reflection! It seems that individuals often bemoan such a lack of consequences, but for some reason they are still quite prevalent in our “systems.” I wonder how to harness the good intentions of individuals…

While the tone is a bit too negative (expected of someone leaving one place for “greener grass”), there are terrific points here that completely resonate with my own experience in data science - albeit not at a “median” place, but at a larg

Everyone uses data they collect to “improve” their own offerings. But the others then make money by sharing/selling the data _to third parties_(incentive). Does Apple use this data only for internal use, or do they also share (sell) it

Not convinced by the example. I don’t see how you can’t use standard scikit-learn for it. First, the example doesn’t take advantage of sklearn’s built in, super simple parallelization via n_jobs Then, the entire example could be better wrap

Strong disagree. Many small companies or even developers have clear and clean websites. It's not a question of money. It's a question of taste.

I kind of think this is because Tesla people looked at Apple.com, and (roughly) copied it. They are smart that way. Other companies would do well to try something like that. But they aren't that smart.

My Facebook interview process was not only more professional, objective, and relevant than any other, it was also actually enjoyable, as I said elsewhere. I wish there was a biotech with FB’s culture.

The confidence interval is a so-called random variable, which means, given it’s not significant, you actually can’t really interpret it Descriptively, there is a trend, yes. But it can not be interpreted in statistical (inferential) terms,

Working as a coder in a non-tech industry for a multinational, I appreciate that someone so high up cares about something as “rudimentary” as code.

Team of Teams by Stanley McChrystal Although the first third was a slog (a simplistic history of management), the rest was filled with great insights in every page. I read those very slowly, almost meditating, because it was so good.

Google chat, and while it’s ok for 1-1, group chat is a disaster Even for 1-1, I get too many of those those “Hi Joe” pings without any content. I have a permanent status “nohello.com” but the UI is such trash, no one even knows it’s there
