ummm you are probably wrong. those job postings probably want people with PhDs in Computer Science/Statistics/Applied Math that did hard things with data.
maybe i am just tired right now but "average of sums is equal to the sum of averages" is basically true 100% of the time-it is called the linearity of expectation and is a basic fact of probability. Could you include…
I don't know if people do this for vision yet but I know some people doing this for RL for robotic control.
andrej karpathy is kinda pretty freaking legit but I think the waymo team is probably stronger/larger and has significantly more engineering maturity. caveat: I don't do vision.
for anyone who maybe got confused SLAM stands for Simultaneous Localization and Mapping. edit: I think if it is possible to do SLAM without LIDAR waymo will definitely beat TESLA to the punch since waymo has an absurd…
Reading a full unedited transcription of a speech from a president is also pretty direct... that's existed for 150 years at least i.e. https://yorkblog.com/yorkspast/read-the-actual-article-next-...
Elmo is bae
you must do theory right? tcs? based on the name edit: AI and ML are close enough :)
freeman dyson doesn't have a PhD either jajaja
we call them hidden layers because of path dependence i.e. that is what people called them at first. the first neural network-like things would have input nodes directly connected to output nodes. Thus both layers were…
https://arxiv.org/list/cs.LG/recent from there I look for papers 1. Immediately relevant to my current interests 2. by people I who know write good papers. For chaff-vs-wheat some of my friends use arxiv sanity? to find…
1. arxiv 2. nytimes [trying to quit] 3. reddit [trying to quit] 4. hackernews [trying to quit] tbh I really like trying to minimize my browsing in the morning.
100% correct. I think we are both very lucky in that we are able to do fun science and chase our intellectual interests with a realistic and still fun safety net. Also those closet programmers are always really fun to…
I could rant about this for hours. I actually just went to a defense for a deep learning paper that had a ton of abstract algebra. I am honestly not really a fan of deep learning and algebra because all the papers to me…
Well I would be happy to provide some context. I just finished my first year of CS Phd in ML (more on the theory side) and I really like it. I think most of the places you would want to do a post doc in CS are probably…
being around really smart people doing interesting things is pretty great.
are you already a grad student or are you considering it? in my department [we are an outlier probably] post doc wages are actually pretty comparable to industry i.e. >= 100k. 40k to 70k seems low to me. I would expect…
meh as a baby academic I am not convinced that the nepotism protectionism elitism of academia are markedly higher than the 'real world'
you should be more specific-what part of CS? all the CS postdocs I know see a) pretty happy b) have a really easy back up of a high paying industry gig that they can pivot to because of currently insanely inflated…
did you read the article? she clearly suffered severe damage.
1. I am also uncomfortable about this
I was thinking more co-authorship but I guess the parent used 'linked' more properly as 'advised'
so 401k for tax-sheltered institutions? nifty!
I was sorta thinking about like raw empirical impact ya know? like normative vs descriptive.
idk man they are hugely famous in computer science and are also both renowned for being very kind and well known in the community. they aren't randos getting in a fight with their department. they are academic royalty…
