As Stacy McGaugh likes to put it in his blog - the question is why MOND (a relatively simple theory with just one free parameter) is able to make successful predictions at all? Predictions like this one, which you have no reason to expect t

But their hiring practices are pretty similar (perhaps except Netflix, don't know anything about them). In one of my interview rounds at google I was under huge time pressure, despite coming up with an optimal solution in seconds. That

If we're talking about FAANG, I don't believe that they really care about "the process of solving the problem". If you don't come up with a close-to-optimal solution in about 5 minutes, you're in trouble - ther

My bad, I meant to say it in the other thread which is flooded with "As a young healthy person who could yet have more children, I’d rather get covid than take a genetic vaccine that might affect me or my offspring" type of commen

HIV vaccines face tremendous challenges - almost 100% mortality rate if untreated, the fact that immune system activation helps the virus, very frequent mutations, lack of good targets for antibodies, etc. So don't hold your breath, mR

Happened to me during a soccer game, was gone next morning. I think it's not so rare symptom of concussion, i.e. quite different than what the article describes.

A bit preposterous to speak on behalf of "the rest of humanity", don't you think?

Why don't you go to one of those countries and help it to grow out of poverty? It's pretty easy to be generous at the expense of others.

Nice article. A bit sad it has received way less attention than hypish criticism of the ML hype itself.

You mean the label is a boolean "is this action reasonable"? That sounds worse than just recording all driver's input (which itself is useless afaik).

I've heard that a lot, and it never made any sense to me. What are they gathering exactly, video and radar feed? Nobody does end-to-end ML, so this data needs labeling. This is the costly part as it requires manual labour. And it doesn

Global quarantine has never been tried just because there was (almost) no global travel or communication. And I think your second statement is false, preventive isolation en masse was practiced (to the extent possible) during bubonic plague

> And the idea that mass lockdowns can stop the spread of virus is itself a radical, new idea that's never been tried, and which has its own cadre of experts saying it hasn't been working or is making little difference. You pro

If your app can be DB agnostic, then what DB you use doesn't matter, so you will never need to switch it. Also you don't need an "architect" and a "DBA" to know how to use databases properly.
