I would be curious to understand what the equivalent cluster solution would look like. A big selling point here is apparently that your researchers "don't have to understand the do's and don'ts of cluster scale computing

The micromanagement you're talking about actually came directly from the top (CEO), which was even more awkward. For example, the first month on the job the CEO set up a daily meeting with me to talk details about how my team was suppo

Thanks for chiming in. I honestly felt gaslit by the whole ordeal, I would come home and tell my partner somewhat similar stories to your own and she would recoil in horror at the toxic work environment. And then I would somehow end up defe

This hits home. I recently quit a job (~2 months ago) that was exactly the situation described. I had never encountered micromanagement to that degree before and was initially, naively, willing to accept my boss's criticism as "le

Yeah, I find that the out-of-order execution issue is common with people who have a software development mindset, but for data analysis/science is basically the only sensible way to work. The "load data" command might be one

That's good to know. They don't make any mention of it on the show but I did wonder if they were simply paid a "market rate" for their participation or something like that. Makes me feel a bit better about some of the pe

But most of the people with these skills are not independently wealthy, and would be hard pressed to give up wages for a few months just to participate. I think the ideal situation would just be to use a tiered prize structure. Where the lo

That's probably true but feels like somewhat of a trivial example...I think there would be some very interesting things to test here. When you get down to something like a 16 frame interpolation of 2 stills, the model is essentially gu

This is a great question and I might steal this for future interviews. It's surprising how many of the people responding, despite being told optimizing for engagement is a cop-out, still jump to some kind of metric-based prescription.

They've gone back to the 9XXX numbering scheme but those are the newest models. Ex: For the 13" line the 9300 is the newest iteration with above-screen camera replacement

Interesting, I did not realize this. I also did not realize that Retina is not 4k, though I doubt this makes a huge amount of difference on the tiny screen sizes.

Wow. I feel like the fact that you can encoding arbitrary information in long numbers is such a far reaching concept in math/computer science, it's really satisfying to see it demonstrated in such an intuitive way.
