A16Z podcasts are pretty good and I saw an interview on Bloomberg where he came across quite well. They had a clubhouse thing that seems to have stopped recently along with the clubhouse hype in general. It is hard to disambiguate the mar

Your friend probably has a claim against the company for breach of contract. When people leave a job to join a new one and incur expenses and then the new company lays them off or fires them for no fault then the judges usually side with t

You have to be a little crazy to work on something this ambitious for any length of time because it is not mainstream and probably hard to get grants for in the traditional sense. DNNs faced and still face enormous criticism from statistici

I am not sure where you have been but NNs were panned from the late 80s until 2012 basically. What I am saying that negative critiques mean very little if anything. CAs have also been around since the 1970s.

Wolfram is by any measure a successful academic. One general issue though is that particle physics basically hit a dead end. The future was in simulation (hence Mathematica) and then the idea that the universe is computational and if it i

Neural networks were basically negatively critiqued for decades. I think there is something to cellular automata and there's definitely a relationship between CAs and DNNs that is unexplored.

What does an intellectual life mean to you? Are you happy just learning things or do you feel the need to communicate, teach or debate your findings? Some people give talks on interesting subjects, some people write blogs, some people writ

It's all the same stuff. Worth learning about to immunize yourself from these things. The very first 10 mins of the Apple+ show We Crashed is a master class of some of the techniques.

That ML and those targeted ads may help identify a depressed teenager and help them get help. A lot of folks who are depressed, especially kids, do not know that they are. And many adults in their lives do not see it either.

I listened to his podcast. It is really good and I enjoy it. But I found something even better that worked for me which is the audiobook Self-coaching by Dr. J Luciani. It is on audible for free right now if you have an account. I was pu

Theoretical physics has been “dead” since the 70s. So all the physicists went to Wall Street and basically rebuilt it. Next up is biology etc…. but there’s a new kid in town which is ML/AI/DNNs These are great little democratic b

This is so awesome! I like to think it’s our life experiences that really bring a lot to science. So much of it is interdisciplinary these days and there’s so much opportunity to explore and be creative.

Eh I don't believe it is a million dollar hit. If it is then you have bad controls and bad process. Google is optimizing for the wrong things. The reason Google has hard interviews is to minimize attrition and make everyone who passe
