Without an increase in wages. And economic instability causing lost jobs, as well as increasing rip stripping away earning power. I make a lot of money as a software engineer and I don't think I'll get a home until I'm 45.

I love physics. But going back to university sounds like a nightmare. Those halls squash large swaths of neuro-atypicals and swallow you with debt. Luckily we have the internet now and we can learn by ourselves.

There is a anti medication bias because these psychotropics medications were not designed to be used longer term. I’ve tried medication, it warped me into a shell of my creative self. We’ve got to stop using psychotropic drugs to fit peopl

They used to serve a purpose, but now it's turned our academy into a dog and pony show. Where publish or perish reigns supreme. Everyone rushs paper, suicide rates in Academia are sky rocketing and most smart young people opt for tech

This is a incredibly contrived version of events. Whether Weinstein's theory is correct or not. He's had a career in mathematics and isn't a self proclaimed lone out cast genius. His peers recognize him and he's decided

The US never believed this, the politicians told this story so they could get richer off trade deals and cheap labor. Anyone who was critically thinking saw this coming a long way out.

That's a false trade off. You can load partial content. That's the big advance of html. UI as markup and you can stream the small required portions of a large app.

You could it's a really interesting idea. Synthetix and kwanta have done it with TSLA share price. It requires a liquidity pool to balance the asset. The liquidity pools are usually seeded with rewards from the companies that start th

Debugging performance problems is the reason I stopped using `cljs`. Those stack traces are so painful.

Agreed. Same as 2008 crash. The executives that made these decisions are most likely ending up ahead on their fat salaries. We’ve got to hold decision makers accountable.

Down votes cause of whole set of reactions. Many of which prompt further inquiry and research. Humans have a wide range of reactions to things. An analysis that lumps them into a narrow set of reactions is useless.

Our society has plenty of Elon Musks. Their being snuffed out by a academic system designed to churn out people can repeat "the correct answer". Heterodox thinking is a liability not an asset in Academia now. Along with the fact t

I have very similar issues. The key for me is looking at the behavior as a routine and pattern and replace it with a better routine and pattern. You need something to avoid the morning thought trap. The best way I’ve found to counter it is

If you know Tensorflow, hugging face is the best way to get started. It's got easy ways to transfer learn from the big models.

I admire this approach and have many colleagues who operated this way. But for someone who didn’t get into a top school and had to start with “low prestige” jobs and work my way up focusing on side projects was essential to my career. By sh

It's unfortunate how few people on the inside don't see it this way. The slippery slope is real and we shouldn't start sliding down it just to beat Trump.

Nonsense. We need to create a society that allows people outside the narrow band of “can sit focused on a narrow set of tasks” for 8 hours to have successful. Careers. Create space for the risk takers to take risks.

The Bay Area has lost its' soul. I moved here to meet creative people tackling big problems and I've found it's no longer about innovation and risk. Just a big pile of uninspired B2B SaaS companies. SV has become a well oiled

One of the biggest issues is with cherry-picking. Generative ML results benefit greatly from humans sampling the best results. They are capable of producing astonishing results but don’t do this consistently this has a huge impact on any ef
