Through another friend in tech - it's good to have someone to show you the ropes because there is a lot of tribal knowledge. YouTube and forums are somewhat of a help but most of what I've learned is from listening at the spear sh

I freedive and spearfish in that underwater ecosystem on a weekly basis between Malibu, Santa Monica, and Palos Verdes. It's fine, much cleaner than the wilderness around there on land. As for the article, it's an interesting data

We were attempting something similar last year but with ML (training from error messages to patchfiles to fix the given bug) but found it didn't scale well beyond simple scripts. This is very interesting though. There's a large po

I wonder if the insect die-offs that have been reported lately are linked to a nutrient deficiency such as this. It's amazing to think about the scarcity of various metabolites and how they might become concentrated in different popula

I live in Santa Monica and I think the level of tech talent is pretty great. There's simply much more to do here on a weeknight than go to a tech meetup!

This is really brilliant, literally jaw-dropping. I was really blown away by the idea and construction of the detector itself and this application is astounding. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IceCube_Neutrino_Observator

I was going to give a lecture across several departments about my PhD research in bioinformatics. The night before the talk I was generating some new figures and saw something weird, which led to me digging through source code and discoveri

I found that there was extreme variance at the lower levels and that would persist as people moved up through the ranks. A lot of that came down to negotiation or previous salary at the company they were leaving. I'd also say that the

I'm coming to realize one of the key skills for a data engineer to have nowadays is "productionizing" notebook code from data scientists and PMs and teaching them to make it more testable and modular in the first place.

I remember meeting one of the technical cofounders of SpankChain the weekend of their ICO. He was very tired but excited to be done with the project and onto his next ICO idea. He was adamant about not having his name attached to it. It did

It's interesting, original, and most importantly falsifiable. There will be real differences between the jets predicted by his theory and the commonly accepted model, I'm excited to see it tested. There's a moment at which ev

I spent last year attempting something very similar in Python (www.duckly.com - unlaunched) and am very impressed. It's an extremely difficult problem and the CI data angle is inspired.

Papers, not really since I was out on the edge at the time and I haven't caught up with the field since then. Nothing I did ever made it into publication but it was pretty interesting. Mostly was focusing on the redundant connectivity

That's very cool but it's definitely a stunt, breathing pure O2 is definitely not normal. I'm more impressed by spearos going down for several minutes, swimming hard, doing work, fighting a fish on a line and coming back up.

This article is quite bereft of any objective content. What behaviors of the satellite make it seem suspicious?

This is really important if it can be scaled up. Imagine being able to replace an onsite heavy compute core pulling several hundred watts (like in the trunk of a Waymo car) with a passive unpowered optical element. Pretty amazing.
