Are you saying that the USA is still far behind the EU banking system? That's news to me - I've always assumed that banking, of all things, would be far superior in the US. I've always imagined that the experience in the US,

I think most of the comments assume that machine learning engineering equals machine learning. This is always not true. If you are an MLE, chances are that you work on the infrastructure and data pipeline side of things rather than on the r

Really depends on your team, and your manager. I'm actually having a pretty good time (in Europe) - there's absolutely no expectation to work overtime/weekends.

Yeah that's what stood out for me as well. I wonder how long it takes to get a citizenship in the US. I immigrated to Germany and the experience has been surprisingly smooth and flexible: 1. Got a student visa to come study a masters i

This won’t work for empirical research. I vividly recall weeks spent trying to reproduce a paper on information retrieval (a deep learning model). What saved me is skimming through the author’s codebase and chancing upon an undocumented sam

Deutsche Bahn's BahnCard 100 [1] is around 4k euros per year and gives unlimited access to all DB trains as well as a city pass to around 110 towns in Germany. The city pass does't help if you have to commute to a suburb, but it&#

Unfortunately yes. They see too many requests from paperdelivery.co and block requests originating from that domain - they only want the google bot to crawl their site :) I think I have two options: 1. Respect their decision to not allow Pa

I've made this change :)

Well, my goal was to use Twitter without using it. Yes, having my cake and eating it too :)

Creator here. PaperDelivery grew out of my frustration with Twitter. I found myself relying on Twitter to follow a particular research community, but realized that I do not care about the actual tweets/threads - all I wanted was the li

I used to have a cheap machine with 4GB of RAM and an HDD. When I got some money, I went for an SSD instead of buying more RAM. The difference was significant. I happily worked on that laptop (with 4GB) for another 6 months (thanks to the S

Oh I'd definitely love to see this completed. I don't speak Spanish, so I'm not sure if this would be a problem here - are all sentences in Spanish guaranteed to have an almost one-one translation to English? In other words,
