I think management and I agree that taking on some amount of technical debt in exchange for velocity and progress is okay. I think we disagree on how much.

You can actually look at the salaries of many professors (and actually anyone employed by the school, i.e. deans, football coaches, etc) at public universities. Here's University of Washington, for example: https://fiscal.wa

I'm guessing it's a case where all the various extreme requirements simply do not allow for redundancy in the places the engineers would prefer to have it. The options are likely (1) okay performance with a lower chance of failure

I don't understand how the criticisms in the comment section here are at all related to the actual journal article. From the abstract of the paper: Throughout The Journal’s 70-year history, “ancestry” and “ethnicity” have increased i

I'd get it -- J&J is already known to be weaker coverage, and Omicron spreads so easily that the odds you get COVID are fairly high if you interact with people regularly. If you're looking at it from a sickness perspective, th

Yeah, and I guess that's kind of the point. You can still see the seams in many of these models, but you could easily imagine a version that's truly indistinguishable from a human. Or at least indistinguishable from something we&#

It's easy to dismiss stuff like this without having interacted with these models, but there's something visceral about doing so that at least personally left me re-assessing some of my viewpoints on ML/AI. I've had a cha

A watch means conditions that would likely allow a tornado are present, a warning means a funnel has been spotted either visually or on radar. I grew up in a tornado prone area, and during a warning we were taught to shelter in the basement

Gotta say, it's refreshing to see a gradual and sustainable growth plan, especially when it's mainly tech/startup folks behind the foundation. None of this "let's hyperscale" stuff.

Many streets have "no left turn" signs that apply during busy hours to prevent this (but of course those are often ignored anyway). In practice the thing that determines if you can turn left and block traffic is how high your tole

Yeah this is for "startup lite" hackathons where the goal is to sell an idea and possibly your team to investors. I had a blast doing hackathons where the goal was just to make the coolest thing possible in 24 (or whatever) hours.

I don't know this feels functionally about right. Is there much of a difference between 2 minutes to fill up vs 5 minutes?

LIGO blows my mind whenever I hear news about it. The sensitivity alone is insane -- it can detect a change in distance between its mirrors 1/10000th the width of a proton. This is the equivalent of measuring the distance to the neares

So have we moved from "climate change isn't real" to "it's real but we aren't gonna do anything"? Nobody making long term plans is questioning the science of it, they're just trying to figure out how

To be fair if you put on a resume that you worked on VoldemortDB at LinkedIn I wouldn't bat an eye. I've seen way crazier internal tool names.

Is this also a difference in audience though? Yesterday's event was geared mainly towards creative professionals who are both more technical than average as well as have specific technical needs. Today's is towards the average con

I agree this is very targeted towards the creative market (i.e. SD card port, etc), but I'm curious as a developer what you would have liked to see included that isn't in this release. I guess personally having better ML training

The craziest thing is they used to make this easy with the social graph search or whatever they called it. Now if it's possible it's really hidden.

If you click on a specific location, at the bottom you can expand the forecast. Instead of "Basic" select "Wind" which will let you see multiple model forecasts. Not exactly a probability but you can do some mental ensem
