"text classification it depends on the problem but often the old methods work very well and there is not a lot of room for neural methods to do better." This couldnt be further from the truth. NLP/text algorithms have seen mo

Big tech is full of people boasting about how smart they are, arguing over docs, blocking their peers from getting work done, and keeping whatever small chunk of the company they run under their own control

My confidence is more in my ability to deliver the product, from all aspects, sales/product/tech. I think my cofounder wouldn't contest that this is somewhat true. I'm more so asking about the end outcome, how it will fe

I just took three weeks off and sat in my apartment. I was borderline close to quitting my job due to some sort of burn out. Prior to my vacation I had a discussion with my manager about what was causing me frustration. She took steps to fi

There's a theory I have heard by the venture firm I am mentioning, which is that young smart and talented people are commonly locked inside some management consulting firm/elite career. They dont have the proper skill set (tech&#x

Curious what peoples thoughts are on this. One particular studio I have seen does extensive research into the idea, vets the candidate, and then gives 1-2M capital. Issue is the cofounders (there are 2) only get 15-20%. Which does sound dec

It absolutely has. People like mark zuckerberg and the google founders became wildly wealthy from raw intellect and business cunning. Over long time spans, these types of people will collect in the upper crust of society. Everyone just want

Society is a complex mix of different genetic pools that mix like water and oil. Small pools end up with all the money because they operate on an abstraction layer higher than the rest. Life for them is like walking around picking up 100 do

I agree banking is a good job and has good outcomes. So does a Phd at a good school in an in demand field. But my point about PhD students and Tenured Faculty remains the same. They appear to be part of the same job ladder. If you were to v

I agree on the publication record. But the school you go to has a huge effect on your ability to publish. This is well documented. Go to top PhD program -> publish top journal easier -> attain tenure track job. It all comes down to pr

PhD students are mostly cheap labor to carry out research for faculty. It's not a feeder to a faculty job. Most of them are immigrants who view it as a way to get into the USA, and so its a worthy trade off. Its like in investment bank

right, but my point is thats what we call a bad software developer. and most software developers are warned, because real abstraction is beyond their capability. a world class software engineer knows that maxim, but also is capable of build

complex != overengineered and/or overgeneralized one some technical problems are actually just complex

Call me blunt, but ive come to the conclusion most people arent intelligent enough to create complex abstractions

by fdgsdfogijq 4y ago
I think its a meme now to hate abstraction. In big tech I see it as a justification to build parallel systems that do almost the same thing. Abstraction done well is where technical leverage comes from. Abstraction done poorly is where tech

You cant say the contrary either. Theres not enough evidence either way due to the sands of time.

they lied because they thought there would be a mask shortage, and medical workers needed all the masks they could get. So they told people they dont need masks.
