Why not mandate a HANS device for everyone? Basal skull fracture is no joke and happens often with head-on collisions...

There is a trend of increased incidence of severe injuries when wearing a cycling helmet in countries that introduced mandatory helmets. EDIT: Evidence: https://road.cc/content/news/268605-wearing-cycle-helmet-may.

What will be the societal management of this? Will every single human get issued a unique very long cryptographic ID and every single thing a human does will be recorded with this ID, stored on a blockchain to prevent tampering with it, pre

> Google's culture has shifted. It's sad how once a great company decided to shift towards mushroom management and coding sweatshops like Amazon in just a few years... The amazing Google of 2008 is no more.

I suspect the author didn't grasp how modern AI works by attributing everything to statistics. It's the optimization part that does the magic.

Google Cloud is not the real Google. Culture-wise, you are closer to Oracle.

There are no bootcamps for ML. You can get a graduate degree (MS) in 1 year if you get into UTexas' online MSDSO which has a bunch of ML classes (ML/DL/NLP). UTexas itself is a top 10 school in CS so that might put you on the

I am struggling to find any benefit of Rust for startups to be honest. It makes no economical sense to be bogged down by a language that is 3-10x slower to develop. The issues Rust is preventing will pop up earliest in production, likely ra

I agree with you in principle, however it's about perception. For some reason a PhD and even better articles at top conferences are the minimal qualification for great ML jobs. So just having a MS in ML is often insufficient. If you wa

Manager wannabes should be screened for narcissism and sociopathy and rejected if exhibiting these or similar traits. Unfortunately, recruiters are often already screening for these traits for the top management candidates and reject anyone

Get a PhD in ML if you are serious, otherwise all you'll be doing is data engineering/cleaning. Eventually, take at least online Stanford grad courses for credit to have some credibility and to be able to stand out.

Ugh, it's like we are living on a different planet. SW engs seem to be now commoditized, all the money and hiring is in the ML space. It's fairly straightforward to get a 2x rate as a ML eng compared to one would get as a fullstac

My iPhone "magically" turns on Cloud Photos from time to time and then complains about running out of space. The same approach as with Windows 10/11 "magically" turning on anti-privacy options after upgrades etc. No

This is bad for privacy. Now every single photo a person takes will be stored on someone's cloud forever and potentially used by someone against folks threatening their mafia.

Healthy eating won't lead you to lose weight without losing your muscles. Radical fasting is the only known way to lose weight and mostly preserve muscles. Also, one could argue that historically people alternated between feast and fam

It's fairly easy to lose weight by not eating anything for a few weeks (only first 1-3 days are tougher) though one risks developing vitamin & electrolyte deficiency that resembles effects of a major viral infection. Another way is

In NLP, the simplest positional embeddings are just a sequence of [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, .. n] with n being the length of a sentence. Once you start processing text, you split it into individual embeddings for each word, getting a list of embeddin

I am wondering how big of an impact on meat quality have viruses/parasites the animal has to overcome? Would they lead to more high-quality proteins/substances than otherwise? Or is it the other way round? Will we need to simulate

Well, Mauna Loa has a fast moving lava in much larger quantities than the nearby Kilauea, so the scenario might be grim there as well. Large areas can be flooded within hours, especially on the south-west.

Is Unreal 5 now mostly software-rendered in the Nanite mode and only large triangles (>32 pixles diameter) are HW-accelerated?
