I wonder if their A/B test showed that this was somehow "solving" the "spam of spam reports" problem. It would be fairy naive but I could envision a world where they tested this out, saw fewer (but more detailed) sp

Reminds me of this excerpt from an Obama interview: > When problems reached him in the White House, he said, it was because they were unsolvable. He generally was being asked to choose between two bad options. “By definition, if it was a

Not sure how heavily used it is, but FWIW Postmates does offer a $10/month subscription service for reduced fees/free delivery like most other food delivery services do

I’d say it’s more likely they have super advanced/clever ways of doing the latter. The algorithm could be a simple dot product and the result could be great or terrible depending on how good the feature extraction is. Pulling useful fe

Having been through this recently I certainly empathize with feeling like you're doing something wrong when looking for a new job. What got me through it was realizing that if the company was looking to replace me they would do the exa

Not Jeremy (obviously) but having taken both versions of the course I would definitely recommend jumping into the 2018 version. The core content is the same (image recognition, recommender systems, NLP) but the 2018 version uses more cuttin

Go write a couple hundred lines of R (please don't actually do this R is atrocious imo) and then you'll understand why '=' is used instead of '<-' - because it's a pain in the ass, even with hotkeys
