Americans look at their 9k a month salary and don't care about loosing an extra 300 USD on health insurance. I've experienced the British and Swiss systems - Swiss is like the American - pay roughly 600 CHF a month - and it's

Well it will be multimodal, training and inferring on feeds of distributed sensing networks; radio, optical, acoustic, accelerometer, vibration, anything that's in your phone and much besides. I think the time of the text-only transfor

In the UK, most CS degrees are actually Software Engineering, little maths content. There are probably a handful of universities where CS is treated as a branch of maths (top 3 or 4). Any kind of engineering or physics will leave you in a b

What's a problem you get only after 15 years? Lower back pain? I've never heard of interesting problems being gate-kept by years of experience. PhDs have the best share of current interesting problems.

I prefer to work for between 2 and 4 hours on Saturday and Sunday. And it's always work for myself, not an employer. I'm always fresh for a few hours after I wake up, and enjoy it. Never regretted fewer hours more often. Often reg

I think there's reason for concern. I own, but haven't read Nick Bostrom's "Superintelligence", which lays out the risk scenario in depth. I have read Bostrom's "Global Catastrophic Risks", which trea

How can you work for 26 years on a US salary, and then panic when you're laid off? Guess you have somewhere between 1/4 and 3/4 of a million USD, in some form. I'd lay myself off if I had something like that.

I would wipe your partner from your mind. Forget about tracing any problems to your parents too. It's worse than unhelpful. If you can't stand your parents, keep them out your mind. Focus on yourself. Be consistent with your gym.

Never regretted quitting either. My first job was pretty stellar too, in engineering R&D, and probably the smartest set of people I've worked with to date. I must have been among the top earning graduates from the CS program at my

I've been working with it for a few weeks. Developer but no gamedev background. I love it. Very easy, documentation is extensive, good support on the forums. I will agree with others in this thread who've said they don't like

I'll expand on this by adding that at the beginning of your career you're often happy to be doing any paid work related to your degree. After time you want a combination of interesting work, independence (autonomy) and scope for t
