The “cost” of being GDPR compliant is negligible if you simply put static content on your website and don’t track users.

The 4% rule is wildly optimistic. You're assuming that there exists an investment that: - is 100% liquid - will return 4% consistently over decades - every single year - post-tax - post-inflation Good luck finding that one. So that&#x

Thank you for your reply. I found it very profound and insightful.

I wouldn't be surprised if a high number of us is now really doing 3-4 hours of real work a day, filling in the rest with stuff that we'd have been ashamed to do in front of our colleagues (or called for) in the pre-covid world. T

I've read about the FIRE theory time and again. For some reason, I don't buy it. I fail to believe in the plan that consists in building enough FU money to then "be free". Free to do what? What was the plan originally

Experienced manager as well. I highly concur. Sadly, the "good" solution is much harder to accomplish than one might think. One way to address it is to take it from the People perspective. Are there people you've really enjo

I am with you on most of your points, but definitely not on the "normal and mostly acceptable". The truth of our domain is that you can get great work done in 3-4 hours a day (I am referring to deep work here, not meetings). In f

> I only invest money I can afford to lose. You mean "speculate" here, not invest. People definitely want (and must be able) to invest money that they cannot afford to lose, at least not all in a split second.

Indeed. Also, you have plenty of time do to both. Start as an engineer at 22, write code for 15 years. Switch to management at 37. That still leaves you with 15+ years to climb the career ladder.

Using the term "procedural noise processes" instead of "random noise" in the title would have been less click-baity and closer to what the paper is about.

This article is completely disconnected from what is happening in the machine learning community. Granted, datasets have grown larger and larger over time. This concentration is actually a healthy sign of a community maturing and convergin

This article seems to spawn many threads on online advertising, but the initial comment from the author seems to be more around a system/architecture issue (i.e. why should a browser require backend servers). I am writing this comment

The thing is: you paid for your bedroom ceiling, your bathroom and your car. You also paid for your computer & screen, but you did not pay for the content you're watching on it. I am entirely with you on not wishing any ads at all

Same here. My guess is that they constantly AB test/explore captchas to push the envelope of genuine humans users in order to make it as hard as possible for the bots.

The first plot is interesting, but could also be mixing correlation with causation. I actually find it unlikely that raw financial inequality would be a direct generator of worldwide wars. Some confounding variables are the root cause, and

All that being said, I agree with you: leadership is hard. In 20 years in industry, how many (really) good leaders have I met? Three maybe. My original point is that the _role_ is a lot more interesting than what the article seems to sugges

Of course we have all met people who were pompous, arrogant and ignorant. But there are some good and outstanding leaders out there. If you never had the chance to meet one (or did not recognize them when they were in front of you), I am so

It saddens me to see, time and again, the role of leadership painted in such a dire and incorrect way. Leadership is a lot more than about "shuffling paper" in an "ivory tower". As a lead (in any decent company), you get

This looks like an obvious approach (in the hindsight of course) to a general problem. I love your pivot. Congrats on the idea and godspeed. You’ll probably have a lot of interest if you execute well.

What you call the « next word » is actually the next word it has already seen in a similar context in the training set. The novelty does no go beyond the variability of the training data. And so deep learning cannot generate futures that ar

Incremental ROAS is the right metric in theory, but very hard (or impossible) to measure in practice, in particular for the small businesses with smaller ad traffic. Hence the industry falls back on measurable proxies such as ROAS.
