This reads like someone who’s never used the platform. It is broad, allows you to do a lot quickly and relatively more easily than most other platforms. I’m not an evangelist, but I’m now a few years into using it at the startup where I’m C

The telegraph will do anything to deflect from admitting brexit was is and continues to be a moronic act.

Yep, definitely best to do somewhere else if you can and just need to iterate, but it’s a good option when you have to do a big one and eat some real GPU time.

Vertex has a training service, rather than spinning up a notebook. If you can dockerize the training job you just need to upload the container and data to gcs then it’s point and click to run once - assume it’s some sort of kubeflow or what

The payoff to the finishing school part is different if you’re not in the US where the cost is now insane.

This author misses the target: product people, the arch bullshitters of our industry. Given freedom to set direction, measure their own performance, stand up new teams for features they thought of while on a night out and call it data drive

Yes, nothing to be gained if we’d switched anytime sooner in the last 50 years. Very smart observation. Apart from a liveable planet.

SVB’s failure is only a symptom of the wider environment in as much as it failed because of a focus on handshakes over proper management. The comments on the FT are illuminating: bankers can’t understand how they didn’t hedge for interest r

Macro makes it harder to raise funding too though - VC no longer as attractive given the risks and higher interest rates available

I guess I’m just default cynical these days seeing how much money’s still floating around and the scale of the cloud big 3. Apologies, it wasn’t personal. I admire your vision and hope it can work, money always seems to talk eventually thou

I'm well aware of inflation, but it says a lot that penioners vote tory and literally no one else seems to anymore. As I said, I support universal pensions, but why not do anything serious to help people raising children? I'm seri

The actual dream. I often gently tease my wife as I've advocated moving to Berlin on and off over the years - I think state support for families in DE is quite generous.

Yeah, all the ones close are private and priced similarly. I think there might be some council centres, but it depends on which borough you live in, and I think it's means tested. I think it's hard to appreciate just how hollowed

Having just had a baby this is absolutely true. We’re in the UK and yes, healthcare is taken care of, but daycare is going to be around £1800+ a month. This is our first kid and I’m 35 and wife is 36. We had to wait this long as we needed t

Especially wealthy VCs like PG who seem to have decided that because they can throw money around they truly are expert in everything.

Sorry, Peter Dutton? This is like how the UK Tories always go on about the lack of PR preventing a UKIP entering power: newsflash my dudes, the UKIP is you.

No one’s overlooking ethereum, it’s just not that useful to use the worlds slowest, most expensive computer when there is literally any other option for most cases.

The Bowie one is less of a tearful goodbye and more of a triumphant bow, so maybe one to play last heh. It’s excellent. Must be such a deep creative position to be in, making your final creative work after a long and successful career.

Sitting with my newborn sleeping on my chest currently. I’ve really enjoyed Brain Rules for Baby and currently reading Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child. Both good, feel like the latter is going to be a pivotal part of our parenting.
