I wish someone said to me a year ago (when I started ML) clearly at the beginning: "Machine Learning is about MATH, deal with it". It'd be much easier.

I talked to a friend who is a part of R&D 5G team. He is completely terrified. Pointing a high energy stream of photons to peoples phones, creates a risk of signal interference resulting in burning people (yeah, lasers). I don't kn

First of all, absolutely no employer (at least the sane ones) cares if you are junior/senior/old/ninja or superman. The goal is, to hire people that generate a cash turnover. If you cannot deliver a value that the company can

That's true. But Treasury issues bonds quite often, partially to cover interest on existing bonds. So, the day rates raise to high, treasury is insolvent.

> No, because most government borrowing is not borrowing from the central bank. To be precise, it almost always against the constitution. The problem is, the amount of money the government can borrow is tied to the money supply. If FED r

I don't deny, there is no business cycle. My point is, that a handful of people decide when the cycle should have it peeks and bottoms. To me it is like: "We don't like winter, so let's warm up the entire planet. And if

I could try answering to that in detail, but others (smarter than me) did that already. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF00843932

Fiscal policy depends mostly on monetary policy I think. The amount of money government can borrow is bound by central banks. But, central bankers don't respond to voters, so basically they can do whatever servers the financial system

Because arrogant people think they can steer entire global economy with a single parameter - money supply.

Religion is a oversimplification of philosophy doctrines. Imagine Moses trying to communicate with regular folk his views on the world in a way that Socrates did. It was much more efficient to translate it to a set of stories that impose sp

I'd rather say, philosophy is about thinking, it is a tool. Tool that gives you ability to reason about pretty much anything.

Philosophy today is one of the most undervalued discipline. It doesn't yield any return on investment immediately and is mostly confusing at the beginning, so people don't tend to have interest in it. I think we have some sort glo

I'd say they are too descriptive. I don't believe that this project provides such universal solutions and I expect from the author to clearly state what problem exactly does it solve. Ideally, as a picture/graph.

These buzzword product descriptions are terrible. Documentation should say first, what does this piece of code do and when should I use it. The actual rationale for this project is buried down in the middle of the documentation with a spar

How come this question managed to appear on the top page? Asking this question and expecting a correct answer is bananas. There are so many factors that you have to take into consideration that it is virtually impossible to make a right gen

Relocate to a tech hub (Dublin in my case) and find a job where working remotely is possible, but be on the site for a few months to prove yourself that you are effective when remote. Start full time on site and gradually move to be remote.

Queue is not the holy grail, especially if you want to put something on the queue during the db transaction. Be aware, that once you do I/O (some RPC or queue interaction) you loose the ACID in the db, you will make the system much les
