This doesn't strike me as much of a problem as it appears for you. What are the biggest issues you foresee? I'm an avid podcast listener, but I already ignore 99.9% of podcasts out there. I'm not concerned that this is going

It appears that a police officer was able to enter the Waymo to move it. I’ve never heard of this before. Are law enforcement trained to do this in all areas that Waymo operates? Can a random person open the door of a Waymo and move it at w

These investor pieces on emerging technology with their “thesis” and “disruption” feels so forced to me. It’s 50% talking their book, and 50% the VC version of having a tool and looking for a problem for it to solve. I’m starting to believe

I'd like to understand what data engineering inside Nike is actually like. I'm curious because I have relevant experience on my LinkedIn profile, and I get reached out to almost weekly from third party recruiters trying to fill re

Communication costs scale super-linearly with organization size, as does the cost of mistakes. I think a twitter warrior saying some portion of a massive company's engineers 'Do No Real Work' is just a lazy way to get headlin

May be a typo but I’m seeing 10,000 next gen vehicles per week, which is an order of magnitude less than you stated. Otherwise, thanks for the great summary!

Are there benchmarks or third party evaluations that you can share that support your claim? I haven’t used all these offerings so my experience is anecdotal, but I haven’t seen commercial offerings outperform AutoGluon, at least for Tabular

I’m not sure how the authors can claim to be comparing their approach against “state of the art” AutoML and not include AutoGluon, FLAML or H2O. This independent benchmarking paper[0] is what the AutoML field points to as establishing SOTA,

While the article makes good observations, this would appear to be a major oversight by leading research labs if they could have just kept the gas pedal down on simpler models for longer and gotten better performance. This is HackerNews – c

While I agree with this sentiment, I think we should be careful assuming that our jobs as knowledge workers are much more than “retaining and regurgitating information”. Even the emotional intelligence and organizational strategy portions o

It's exciting to see a novel approach to applying NNets to Tabular ML. Definitely need to call out the 1000 row limitation. It will be interesting to see if this approach stands the test of time. Other algorithms (SAINT cough, cough) m

I worked on a project using a similar concept for concentrating micro-algae in the water solution it is grown in. The previous method of extracting micro-algae was filtration or centrifuges. Filters get full too quickly and need regular att

My guess would be that they choose the frequency based on the speed of sound in the liquid such that the nodes in the standing wave occur at a designed location in the chamber where the separation occurs.

Resonant waves in a liquid can cause particles of different sizes to move toward the nodes or anti-nodes of a standing wave. A secondary effect is the particles can conglomerate and fall out depending on density.

As a software developer, I spend much, much more time reading code, trying to understand code, looking for bugs in code, and tweaking existing code, than I do writing totally new software applications. Although I agree it is surprising that

Why is every dollar from a customer worth $5 from an investor, as opposed to $2 or $10. I understand the idea behind revenue dollars being more valuable than investment dollars, but I question how the ratio is constant across startups rathe

In my mind the piece that makes this so appropriate is “The backend is the frontend”. Does anyone know of other platforms/services where this approach is possible?
