These things seem to play out like clockwork. Progressive companies hire social justice warriors into vague ethics or policy roles, let them hire their activist friends, shower them with fast track careers and promotions. It's good opt

The first default question for any ML trading company: If it works, why are you not trading it yourself?

It could almost be satire on tone-deaf founder blogging.

Oh my, what drivel. Another startup CEO who thinks late-stage employees with essentially zero upside in the company need to put in founder hours.

Something that always struck me as funny is that HW roles at FAANGs/Silicon Valley in general are paid worse than software roles. It makes sense in that software is more profitable, but a lot of employers who do this (big techs) are no

And you expect YouTube to host these for free so the creator can be paid why exactly?

So what did employees get?

Ahh, the vague smear. What is an alt right medium? Any medium posting any content you are politically not aligned with? Comments like yours prove exactly the value of having something like substack for journalists like Greenwald.

Is it possible to read this without logging into medium?

Does substack allow (paid) anonymous writing? I could not immediately find how this works from the faq. Will they protect their writers?

Ahhh: 1. We must censor terror propaganda and child abuse to avoid harm & because it's the law 2. We must censor stormfront and the far right because it's the right thing to do 3. We must censor covid misinformation because it

I am extremely pessimistic for ML ops startup like this. At the end of the day, cloud service providers have too much of an incentive to provide these tools for free as a cloud value add. The other thing is that stitching together other ope

' who want to make this a "thing" ' Clearly it is a thing, why pretend otherwise? If this were some extremely small minority, it would not have such widespread cultural influence now. It is a thing.

It's most likely inspired by XLA (Accelerated Linear Algebra) - same creator(s).

Regarding management, it's a bootstrapping issue: The main requirement for an engineering management position is management experience. The easiest way to get it is to stay at one place for 3-4 years. The move based on that experience.

So I only looked at the website and docs as this is a something I have interest in. I'd be mainly interested in knowing how much results are already semantically structured. Example: FDA approval, earnings report filings, ...would I ha

'have practically zero politics' tingles my bs-meter. How would you know how your employees feel about this? There is always politics. Of course not for the ones who cannot be promoted further, but for everyone else. My boss not a

'should be incapable of joining the software profession based on their genetics' He absolutely did no such thing and this is an incredibly disingenuous representation. You can still argue he should be fired without this.

I find codes of conduct meaningless. They will go on in very general terms about 'hate speech' which is just synonymous with 'anything that anyone feels offended by' now. I would argue that code of conducts were a sympto

I never understand why people are _so_ desperate to save a few bucks when risking their life savings versus using a professional tool if they desire to trade options (say, interactive brokers). You save fees and then get screwed when Robinh

Not sure what this metaphor adds, especially because it's inaccurate. A short put does does not have unlimited downside as the value of the underlying can only go to zero. A short call has unlimited downside as the value of the underly

I hope the irony is not lost on you when you ask me to leave this platform for disagreeing with you.

To me, it seems like a combination of childish-authoritarian beliefs that the world will change for the better once, and only once, you stop anyone from saying anything controversial at all. Once nobody is able to disagree, bad things won&#

I wonder how much it helped the creative flow to not know it was an allegedly unsolvable problem. No fear to fail, no stress, not the feeling something complex might be needed because everything simple was already tried.

You know who likes standups? Program managers, project managers, and useless middle-managers. What do they have in common? They get to exercise power and justify their existence through calling extra meetings like new project-specific stand

No, that's your political interpretation of it. You __choose__ to read it that way because then his punishment can be justified.

Because you cannot deliver experimental physics breakthroughs or hardware with teams of two deciding every week what they feel like doing. Have you ever thought about how much work it takes to deliver hardware? How many teams and processes

System design is not a typical part of a research interview. Yes, they do. The rule of thumb is: The higher the level you are hired, the more wiggle room is there. A random PhD grad will need to pass the normal coding screens which are carr
