I wonder in this day and age if a mind like John Nash would have thrived. Nash had only a handful of publications, but all of them were masterpieces. Same with Riemann.

How does the job market for security work compare to the job market for machine learning? Is the security work more interesting? My reason for asking is that I'm sort of in the same boat. I've got a PhD in Math (not crypto or stat

Never tipped when buying a coffee, never had any problem with service. I don't think they really expect you to tip either, it's just the program they use has the tipping option built in.

Nice comment, " the now classic texts in regression analysis start with something the machine learning curve fitting does not...". What classic texts would you recommend starting with?

There a lot of books out there now for ML, does this offer something new (material/presentation) that others do not?

Serious question, if you were going to replace C++, why choose D over something like Ada?

Yep actuaries have the right idea, the exams are pretty hard, and require a lot of preparation, but once your done that's it. Actuarial job interviews are more about what kind of person you are, and if you'll work well in a team.

What's the point? There are some 3 page papers out there with ideas that could take years to fully absorb.

What I never understood, if China is so great, why then do large parts of their upper middle class/upper class buy property in foreign countries and send their kids to school their? It's not as if the American upper class are purc

Couldn't agree more. It's not so much about the prestige but guaranteeing good employment options.

I think a large part of this is how we hire people. It looks much more sexy on your resume (and prepares you better for interview type questions) if you have experience building from scratch a fancy machine learning pipeline, than maintaini

Great essay, really hits the nail on the head about how hard it is to do fundamental research. I especially liked the comment about controlling your emotions.

It's interesting comparing Arnold's very anti-abstract approach to Gromov's (another great Russian mathematician from the same era and now a professor at the IHES). Gromov in his later writings take a very categorical approac

Why are people so obsessed at working for Google? Granted, I'm sure there are a few niche groups which are probably really cool to work in, but the others probably involve their fair share of CRUD work, like any other typical large cor

Agreed. I like this particular gem: "...except in this case, the intelligence factor has escalated logarithmically".
