Not to mention the spotty Google Fiber throughout the downtown. I love Austin. It's like Santa Cruz but with much better beer and BBQ.

The latter, I can't even watch Amazon or NetFlix video without hiccups at this bandwidth, and Amazon video frequently just gives up the ghost 10 minutes or so into a video. Don't even get me started on youtube... As for streaming

While I have avoided smart housing like the plague I think it is, I have my own peeve: Hardwired 10 Gb Ethernet throughout the house. Best ISP: 2.4 Mb to the house.

It's hard for me to criticize a business model that makes money. If VC is willing to fund Acqui-hires As a Saleable Service, and then pay top dollar for its figurative prom queens, then why shouldn't people create and pursue th

Publish those numbers with the sample code to reproduce them. Your first paragraph is enough for an awesome white paper/use case to drive adoption. Don't let silly AWS internal politics get in the way if you work there. Find a

AlexNet #s IMO provide an excellent ballpark estimate of how well balanced compute and communication are in terms of both the framework and the underlying platform. A platform that runs AlexNet well has excellent computation performance for

Using 3 year-old GPUs on a much deeper network than the other guys(tm) to demonstrate awesome scaling efficiency == Intel-level FUD. Note also the absence of overall batch size. Wonder what would happen to that scaling efficiency if those

There's no evidence so far that FPGAs come anywhere close to GPUs w/r to deep learning performance. All the benchmarks so far, through Arria 10, show it to be mediocre for inference, and the lack of training benchmark data IMO im

Not even remotely accurate if quantum immortality is true, and I'm not saying it is, but we still have no idea WTF consciousness really is therefore no idea what happens to it when its CPU and memory are destroyed. But do come back whe

Nice job generalizing, you wouldn't work in HR, would you? IMO the answer to whether you leave or not is "it depends." I've taken the counter once for a 25% raise as I was in the middle of a project and I cared about fin

I'd feel I had learned something important about that company and why I should never work for them. And then I'd move on in life rather than dwell on it.

For me, it's only "no fun" when HR sends an absolute fool with the right keywords on their resume to me (which is what they usually do). It's a lot like dating unfortunately. In an age where variants of "FizzBuzz&q

I think we see eye to eye here? I personally believe a lot of my engineer friends do not realize that they need to manage their career as much as they manage their technical skills. And that's why I suggested getting an outside opini

Counter pro-tip: don't expect someone to leave their current gig unless it's in their best interest to do. IMO unless someone is absolutely miserable, they shouldn't take a chance on a new and unfamiliar team unless the benef

Are you an at-will employee? I'll bet that you are one. From: http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/employment-at-will-de... "An at-will employee can be fired at any time, for any reason (except for a few i

IMO Even if you love your current gig, you should interview elsewhere at least once or twice a year to estimate your market value. Do not let your HR department establish your value for you, they will always sell you short.

Something to keep in mind here is that while history is written by the victors, hit pieces like this are primarily sourced from the sad tales of the losers. While there is truth in this article, it exhibits the same sort of inaccuracies as
