Depends on how much they want you, they might accommodate. Obviously this is unlikely to work if you're fresh out of school and have no track record to speak of. You are not asking for anything extra here, you're just asking, de f

The Magic Leap One is sort of like looking through a window within your field of view So they've basically created Hololens, but unlike Hololens it doesn’t run any of the existing software, and isn’t self contained. W

My advice is, hire a lawyer and have him/her review and correct your option contract before you sign it. You will pay a few hundred dollars. It’s worth it. I was employee #1 with a substantial equity stake, and my lawyer has found half

It only requires that to remain stable if you’d like to quickly fire another shot. Otherwise you can just let the rifle move: the round had left the barrel long ago by the time it moves even a tiny bit.

Could be that it’s only “fine” in the short term. Just 80 years ago Germany was very far from “fine”.

What's amazing is he's been "trying to recover it for months", without any success. IMO this is one of those cases where a public post-mortem would be appropriate, Google.

Yes, that’s what I meant. And “sometimes” I go to bars, too. Just not very often. It’s not even about poverty, it’s about not being stupid. For the same reason I have a coffee machine at home. Paid $800 (+$200 for 2 burr grinders) once, sav

Same is true for most drugs as well. We basically pay for nearly all pharma research and safety studies (through taxes, insurance, and out of pocket) and the rest of the world gets a free ride. It’s one of the reasons why we pay so much. Th

Same here. Grew up poor, so I prefer to be aware of prices even though I have plenty now. Fun fact: 4 bottles of great beer at home = 1 glass of beer at a bar. And snacks are healthier too.

The slide merely says "most Borg users use Autopilot", which could easily be true. Heck, I used it myself for non-production batch jobs. Those jobs were run as me. Any engineer at Google can spin up a job, and I'd venture to

I'll let current googlers comment on that. That's how it worked 3 years ago when I was there. You could also let Borg learn how much a job is going to use, but no serious service that I'm aware of used this for anything in Pr

At Google you can’t even run anything on Borg until you specify how much memory it will use. You also have to specify how many cores you need and how much local (ephemeral) disk. And memory limit is hard: your task is killed without any war

Try to replicate in a more rigorous statistical setting. Do nothing until the result is replicated. I’d be willing to bet a significant amount of money that this result is due to a missed latent variable (or a few) that explains everything

Nonlinearity is very important and is the only reason why neural nets can approximate arbitrary functions. You can’t do that with linear transformations alone. Though from briefly skimming the paper they do seem to achieve similar effects t

That pricing is actually more reasonable than I was expecting. I might get myself a 32 core quad GPU workstation. Unthinkable even just a year ago.

The ice cream aisle in a grocery store I go to has about 100 varieties of “American ice cream”. You need to be more specific. :-)
