> Many PhD students are not ready to work in the "real world" There are exceptions, but this is largely true. I would go a step further and suggest FAANG are easier environments for ML PhDs because they go into research groups

A couple salient quotes from "Interpreting AI Is More Than Black And White" in Forbes [1]: "No matter the definition, developing an AI system to be interpretable is typically challenging and ambiguous. It is often the case th

Thank you for making intriguing predictions that aren't about FANG, software stack, etc :)

Sure, go through the fastai material and maybe write a blog post about how you learned ML (read: DL) in a few months. What you really learned is copy-pasting code (as you mentioned) and some neural net tricks (like a good learning-rate to s

> All of the theory and such is mostly worthless No. You will not get beyond copy-paste level without being comfortable with ML foundations. That doesn't mean you need to be able to prove variational inference bounds in your sleep,

Slightly off topic: Where can one find these minimalist cartoons/sketches of people for websites? Ideally free, but those options appear super cartoonish and limited.

As an example, Aclima offers "hyperlocal air pollution and climate emissions intelligence" (aclima.io). Looks like cool tech, but who would be their customers?

Respectfully disagree. We may not be representative of all teams, but we did devote considerable time and energy into Confluence. No amount of love from the users can resolve application issues like slow load times, buggy draft-saving, inab

I'm curious, why didn't Notion stick? We started using Notion as an alternative to Confluence, but I'm not a fan. It feels too fluffy (as do other tools like Monday). Confluence can be a pain and expensive, but the UI/UX
