CoT is widely known technique - what became fully novel was the level of training embedding CoT via RL with optimal reward trajectory. DeepSeek took it further due to their compute restriction to find memory, bandwidth, parallelism optimiza

This is somewhat untrue as well. HFT because constrained similarly have to optimize on this level akin to HFT crypto doing optimizations not within solidity, nor yul but on opcode in huff. That’s the issue with these big tech companies. Jus

How will this be financed? In residential solar, panels are largely subsidized by federal ITC or financed by banks claiming the tax equity which covers the maintenance, upfront costs, etc; hence the zero upfront residential solar model. Wil

Ah. I can’t believe this still happens in this day of age. About a decade ago, I was working for a startup and we were getting dominated in our growing space by a much larger, well funded rival. Our competitive intelligence team browsed thr

I can’t speak for their intent. It has less to do with the altruism or the “mission” and more on their personal well being. My dad survived multiple cancers and after he got his strength back, he wanted to build back up his strength. It’s t

My parents post-retirement after not working for 10+ years both found roles at an Amazon Fulfillment Center - one at the ship dock and the other in returns. They are both in their 70s and built a nice nest for themselves, neither need it fo

This book should be geared for one of those introduction courses, like “Introduction to Engineering”, “AI 101”, etc. I do agree with the vision of the authors that the book is a holistic view of data science, as I personally believe data sc

I think about this quite a bit as my parents likely fit this category in the early 90s in Silicon Valley. At peak, they were bootstrapped a company from nothing to eventually at peak with ~40 employees at 100M USD annual revenue, no idea on

I've actually decided to take some time off work because of my addiction issues. It's more so the cycle. I'll stop taking Zolpidem/Zopiclone for several weeks/month (the first several days -- terrible shakes, chills

I’ve been taking Zolpidem for about 13 years now and suffer from addiction. I’ve sought treatment for this but it doesn’t work as now I cannot sleep without taking something. If you haven’t taken Z-type sleeping aids, I would definitely sug

For me, it's about chasing after an opportunity that will potentially change my career and life. I grew up with nothing, so I chase after everything. My parents were illegals and watching the struggle was very impactful. Even if I deci

As an Asian-American, I'm struggling through the same dilemma as well. I've been given a huge opportunity to move to Asia and to initiate a program at a Fortune 100 company, but recently my parents have gotten very ill. My dad was

But, this is not just Amazon specific. Even when discussing on renewable energies (e.g solar), this is the same argument that most conservative lawmakers and utilities make about applying a tax on residential solar. You have users of the gr

This is true. Ambien doesn't help you sleep. I'm ambien right now. I was clean for 1 1/2 month but i cant anymore.

It is. You’re right. I never take Ambien recreationally. Here’s the path I went down: It quickly becomes this cyclical pattern where if you don’t take it, then you don’t sleep for days, so you’re forced to use it. And when I mean forced, I

Seems somewhat accurate. I grew up in the East bay, been robbed twice (both at knife) off the Fruitvale, West Oakland stops in high school. Bay Area was much different 10-15 years ago, you wouldn't see random people walking their dogs

(Worked many years in product pricing for startup to IPO company) To even begin on a baseline of how you're going to price a product, you need to understand the unit economics of your product. I think too many people fall into the econ
