I get so many contacts from recruiters that I'm never going to follow up on almost any of them. Is salary information absolutely essential? No. But if I'm not pretty confident talking to you is a good use of time,…
Thanks for this. I read the title, and my thought process was: "I agree". Then: "There's no way the study backing the article is good enough to draw meaningful conclusions. This is clickbait." Then: "I guess if i'm…
The issue I have is that when people talk about the dangers of automation they never compare them to the dangers of non-automated driving. They always make it sound as if automation is making things more dangerous. The…
I feel like this angle is massively overplayed in articles about autonomous vehicles. Is automation paradox a real issue? Absolutely. But at present, all the evidence seems to indicate that the people automated cars…

This article is just fear-mongering and speculation. No facts are given to support the title, and the proposed solutions to the problem (which is never established) are vague to the point of meaninglessness. Skip the…
This is the best guarantee any company ever gives. For smaller companies if something becomes too expensive or hard, they just go out of business. For larger companies, they have to draw the line somewhere. You won't…
The tone of this article makes it sound like it's a bad thing that Facebook and Google won't be much affected by this law, but I don't really think it is. The reason the big players aren't much affected is that they've…
The title of this article is pretty misleading. There is no confirmation that the cell-site simulators disrupt emergency calls. Rather: > Harris Corporation claims that they have the ability to detect and deliver calls…
My own experience was that part of the problem was that there was no intellectual challenge. I actually suspect that if PhD programs were a little more intellectually challenging drop-out rates would go down.
> PhDs are intellectually demanding, and not everyone will be able to finish. In the US between 41 and 78% of people who start PhDs have finished them after ten years, depending on their sub field. Computer and…
To be fair, input devices are a pretty serious issue here. Probably the single most common operation I do on code is search it. If I can't type what I'm searching for easily, that's pretty annoying.
I've had the same thought. Where is the skepticism coming from? I've noticed a lot of articles lately that talk about how far off self-driving cars are. That said the articles all seem to rest on one of two arguments.…
The substance of this article can be sumarized as "I talked to a bunch of people at a convention, and some had concerns, ohh, and I wrote a book about how I'm skeptical of driverless cars." Regardless of how you feel…
I'm pretty sure the scale of the problem is large enough to make a manual approach completely and utterly impractical.

I'm a little dismayed that someone would be willing to make use those factors and then claim it's about the best place to work. It's so obviously off point that I can't even buy that it's the result of stupidity - the…

I've always understood the claim that deep learning scales to be a claim about deployment and use of trained models, not about training. The whole point is that you can invest (substantial) resources upfront to train a…
Seriously. Frankly, based on Uber's culture I would have been surprised if they didn't kill at least one person with their self-driving efforts. It's a total non-data point. The fact that Uber got as far as they did…
Yeah... but they really don't like being told they're incompetent.
If one incident can reverse your conclusion then the sample size isn't large enough to draw that conclusion. With only one death, the only conclusions you could reasonably reach from statistics are either "we don't know…

`alias rg='rg -S'` in your `.bashrc` will fix that for you. Out of curiosity, what sort of searches do you do that smartcase is desirable? A meaningful number of people seem to prefer it, but I find that most of the…
