   Am I the only one who thinks the data model is very complex? How does it compare to a document based data model? What are the pros and cons of each?

   I'll probably get downvoted for this. Why does OP need to justify his/her job in adtech? He/she loves the job and probably pays well. That's it. Period. Why go about convincing strangers!

    Sure. It’s still one of the methods to compress models. You might be surprised how often the weights are really quite sparse.

    I’m surprised there’s no mention of sparse formats to store the weights of the model.

    1. How is this different from Intel TBB? 2. Does it have support for pipeline parallelism?

    It looks like it has become fashionable to write Go related posts as they sure get the attention on HN :-). I don't use Go, but all these posts remind me of what Bjarne Stroustroup said [1] about C++: “There are only two kinds of langu

    I said this yesterday and will say it again. We discuss interviewing a lot here. Despite all the proposals things don't really change. FA(A)NG style interviews are just that - whiteboarding solutions to N algorithmic problems in M minu

    This is so misleading. In silicon valley total compensation is touching 400k+/year on an average for experienced professionals. They should've at least consulted something like levels.fyi before publishing and looking dumb.

    I've been a long time emacs user (15 yrs). After vscode was released, I abandoned emacs for most of my tasks. The effort to configure emacs is just too much when vscode does it seamlessly. Would you rather focus on the task at hand or

    I created a trial account and went on the account page. Smiled on reading this under the section "Delete your account": You think I'm going to try to dissuade you? I don't even want you here!. Hahaha
