Congrats on the launch! Overall I like the idea and I agree with you, either the tools are too focused on Data Scientists or there are a lot of DevOps involved to get things started I work on the field so I have some questions: - Are there

This is a misconception that a few hundred of devs in a city can do this. What drives the price of real state up is lack of new developments, low interest rates, and instutional investors using the housing market as a security instrument. T

The biggest difference is that people use the internet for far more things than just streaming, so the internet bill is diluted into the overall utility. For example, without good internet speeds you couldn't attend classes properly in

Hey, I'm a ML practitioner for over 6 years and I'm glad to help. 1k distinct labels with a long tail distributions which is what you are describing, is definitely a challenging problem. It's called a imbalanced classificatio

I never had to play office politics, because the opportunities for doing so while doing remote work is close to none. I guess I have the habit of keeping my work documented which helps when I'm asked for proof of anything. But at the s

This is arguably false. Anecdotally, I have small children at home and worked from home even before the pandemic when my company had an office. I have climbed the corporate leader every evaluation period because of my performance, while cow

I understand GP's point, education can vary widely depending on the country. For example, in my home country an undergraduate degree in engineering is normally 5 years where - first 2 years are very standard undergraduate courses (your

Thank you for sharing your approach, I find it very interesting. I've worked in some systems that also optimize for "serendipity"[1], which is just optimizing not only for ranking accuracy but also for adding new relevant con

About the meeting load proble, this was actually happening with me a bit before 2021 so I did the most sane thing: I talked with my manager and my manager's boss about it in a non-confrotarional way. Turns out both of them and 80% of m

Got it, I was a bit confused as I never had heard about the problem you mentioned. Too bad here in Brazil you can't get the specialized care you need for the condition you have. This is a major screw up and inefficiency from this count

Cool, thanks for explaining this for me!

This is very very cool. I remember when I used to be in a long distance relationship with my now wife. We used to have the laptops on Skype for hours just to have each other's company, even if we were studying or doing something else.

Shouldn't an ophthalmologist here in Brazil be able to diagnose you and give you a prescription for corrective lenses, or even perform corrective surgery? I'm asking in case I might need to look for one in the future.

Wouldn't model explainers, such as Shap[0] or LIME[1], be able to assist in explaining these results? There are some very interesting advances in the space of model explainability that merit at least a try. [0] https://github

Also, Chicago is a major hub for Logistics Tech. I work for a startup that recently moved their head-quarters from NYC to Chicago, due to the talent there.

Thanks for the reply! It seems the credit card system in Mexico is way more complicated than what I have experience with. Kudos to you guys for trying to disrupt the system!

When you say LATAM, which countries are currently supported? This sounds awfully familiar to how credit cards work in Brazil, where merchants can let you divide payments in an arbitrary number of monthly installments. For example Amazon let

Where I lived had a very low crime rate, similar to where I live right now. The US has many parts where crime is much worse, such as Baltimore, Detroit or some parts of Chicago.

I would recommend the opposite. I lived in a LATAM country and I earned a modest USD salary but my quality of life was much better than now, when I receive the "33% more" and live in the US. This is because: - USD is always high,

The point is that the odds of any startup to be worth billions, or for an employee stock option be worth a lot more than accumulated high base salary, is very very low. So if one optimizes by using the expected value over time the conclusio

Very nice! I've been using Marp https://marp.app/ at work for the same purpose as well. One cool thing is that it comes with a VSCode extension, making it very convenient to use.

That's right, sample size can vary a lot depending on several factors such as: * Experiment design * Sampling techniques * Methodology being used on the model But normally with a small sample size a bigger emphasis should be put on per

That's why they wrote Introduction to Statistical Learning[0] and also a video series for the same book[1]. Both books and the video classes are a must for anyone working with Machine Learning and/or Statistics. [0] http:/&#

Just to be be clear I'm not supporting the low value of the bounty. My point is that there's more to it than just that. Aside from the subjective point 1 in my comment, I think points 2 and 3 are very objective and don't real

For a lot of that pursue white-hat career, it comes down to: 1. Principle - Some people are raised with really high morals and don't optimize for money. Depending on their own conscience, they wouldn't be able to sleep at night. 2

There's a very very old saying "There's more happiness in giving than there is in receiving." One of the key things I believe most people forget is that being a free giver doesn't mean only to participate in charity
