Great! and Musk hopes for a launch in India this summer. Bad news for $TSLA short sellers. They have piled up more than $9 billion. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/short-sellers-getting-steamrol...

I switched jobs while I was on H1B in 2004. I don't think legally a company can fire you just because you are looking for a job, that too without giving a notice. They have to put you on some sort of a Performance Improvement Plan or s

The toughest curriculum in any AI related MOOC I've seen so far. Just CS228 - Probabilistic Graphical Models is enough to bleed someone's brain. Wish Daphne Koller still taught that course.

You have to visit one of the hospitals in Bangalore - St.Johns to see the volume of patients. It's insane. And if you start needing to book your normal clients too far out, you stop taking new patients What's a normal client ? Do

I had come to similar conclusions about doctors but after interacting with a few doctors closely, my perspectives changed. This is in India though where the regulatory environment is a lot different. Per my interaction, the best doctors wil

I think for tasks such as JSON parsing, map and flatmap like functions are really helpful. You write less code and the code is way easier to understand (for those who are familiar with map functions). That being said, map and flatmap force

Thanks for posting this. A totally unrelated question, if you don't mind answering. Given all this, do you believe that Tesla is changing the battery market dynamics with their GigaFactory. Musk has claimed that their plan is to increa

Spot on. The concept of advertising is completely outdated. If you look at how advertising began in the first place, it began as a way for for people to discover new products. Back in the day, that was not bad. Not today. Today there is abs

I read through the rules and couldn't find any mention. Which means it's safe to assume that you can travel freely in and out of US within the parole period. All Visas to the US are mostly multiple entry Visas unless otherwise sta

Just curious as to why you would disagree. The way I see it -issue more shares with lesser face value when the company is valued. So if you are valued at $4 million issue 400,000 shares of $10 each and crowd fund. If you can't set the

If 47% and 85% of H-1Bs at bodyshops are being significantly underpaid compared to their peers Who are the peers ? People in similar job functions ? It's very hard to know just by the report. A 'software engineer' job functio

I think a generic rhetoric that Indian outsourcing companies just drive down wages is plain wrong. Most of the contracts that these guys bag are long term maintenance type contracts. The companies that are awarding these contracts are doing

The latest GitHub commit was done 3 years ago. So the course is probably that old. However, I don't think the age matters. I am referring this tutorial in parallel with cs231n and it's so far been good. At least for Convnets.

Check out X.ai and Clara labs. Some of their blog posts highlight what needs they fulfil. These are not messaging agents but conversational nonetheless.

So what is a more reasonable answer that the client will accept ? Ultimately, it's a pattern of words and data. Just playing the Devil's advocate here. Any ML system that can be trained on such patterns should be able to learn the

I'd say I know something about the business logic of trading desks. Some of my friends worked at GS. I'm not implying traders are brokers. I do agree that the trading business logic is very rich and that AI will be nowhere close t

Me neither. How much of the genuine human nuance is present in today's financial services or any commission driven industry - next to nothing. Every agent/broker is motivated by the highest commission he/she can make, nothing

I own a car in India, because there are no other means to get to where I want to, when I want to. I now live in Singapore and I absolutely don't feel the need for a car. That said, I am not incredibly happy with the public transportati

I think it's a almost impossible to launch an ETF for this kind of effort. An ETF has to track publicly trackable entities such as commodities, currencies or public stocks. Even the Private Equity ETFs track publicly listed Private Equ

I am 100% aligned with preventing climate change, but after Trump got elected, my hopes of prevention are diminishing. Hence the rhetoric.

Currently, all efforts are geared towards reversing climate change. OTOH I feel that we should also be prepared for the ensuing eventuality of climate change, as it is clear that the current civilisation as we know will collapse under drama

This is very true. When I was new to Portland, activities helped me make several friends. I joined hiking meetups and would randomly go on hikes to Rainier and Hood. I bought a bike and joined a biking meetup and met several good people. Th

This is true if the 40 hours that you spend is on deep work. You are pushing your intellectual limit all the time. Practically this isn't the case right ? Most of our work, whether we like it or not, falls into the realm of JSON parsin

One view of this behaviour is cheating, another view is hustle. I mean, if you could arrange a hackathon to solve an interview question - you are hired my friend :)

What's the legal liability ? It's not illegal to do a small project for someone and get paid for it. If the interviewee is on a H1B or some visa like that then I can see some issues.

DuckDuckGo follows this process. They in fact do a paid 3 month assignment. May be that's taking it to the extreme and perhaps works very well for them. If I were looking for a job and this process was followed, I'd definitely be
