There’s not much need for turnover, plenty of companies publish quite a bit on how their systems work. You can look for recsys papers from your favorite company if you want. The Netflix recommendation systems workshop is also good and has m

The 30 days thing is likely from GDPR requirements. You cannot keep user data longer than that after they request deletion.

It's pretty easy to do almost no coding at larger companies as a more senior engineer and become quite rusty. It sounds like he was interviewing for a position which he's actually expected to ship things and code, so it's pre

400 GB/s is insane memory bandwidth. I think a m5.24xlarge for instance has something around 250 GB/s (hard to find exact number). Curious if anyone knows more details about how this compares.

SF is actually getting really fast internet now. All the new developments we looked at had gigabit internet at ~$80/month with multiple competing providers. It's getting to older apartments now as well. At these speeds, the WiFi a

You can just buy it on Amazon right now, they're actually not too hard to find. You can also find it in store at original MSRP.

Your thinking rate might be fixed (or more likely, decreasing with time), but one thing you can do, which is not mentioned here, is become more efficient. This means looking for ways to improve the things you do and finding shortcuts so you

Obviously high supply of animators is the main reason, but I wonder if part of it is that pirating/illegal streaming sites are extremely common for anime. All of the people I know that watch anime do so without paying for it. It's

This is the shortest common supersequence problem ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortest_common_supersequence_... ). It's NP-hard if you include repeating numbers; there's no simple changes to make your solut

What is going on here? Why have none of the commenters read the article? Perhaps because it's phrased as a question and people didn't realize it's a link? Anyways, this matches my expectations--people tend to be overly negati

This is not actually happening, and I'm sad to see how long this misinformation persists on HackerNews... Not only not technically feasible, it'd also get out in the numerous lawsuits that Facebook is involved in, which get access

I like One Medical a lot, I hope they find some way to be profitable. Their doctors are far less rushed than any other GP doctor office I've been to, and their app is well done too. I've been confused how they're able to do t

I work as an ML engineer, some thoughts: The train/test data being imbalanced in the same way does give the model an advantage, but I don't think that making the test set 50% would solve the issue completely either. Doctors have b

I recently restarted classical music education, and have found it makes it much harder to listen to music and concentrate on my software engineering. It used to be okay if the music doesn’t have vocals, now it has to be something simple I’v

This is really impressive, I didn't expect starcraft to be played this well by a machine learning based AI. I'm excited to read the paper when it comes out! That said, I'm not sure I agree that it was winning mainly due to be

I don’t think that’s a viable strategy in today’s world. The kids I knew growing up that were pushed hard by their parents are doing much better (and happier) than those that were not. Kids don’t reliably make good long term decisions for t

I’m pretty sure they’ll limit the APM (or do something more fine grained since not all APM is equivalent). It’s already well known that bots can outmicro humans in certain aspects like splitting and focusing the correct units.

The fact that this dumb “Google/FB listens to you in the background and uses it to serve ads” myth is still around even on HackerNews is insane to me. Do you all really think that if this contributed a measureable portion of ads that i

Parts of this article are clearly false. The “security consultant” claims to know that there’s clips of audio being sent back to servers, but not knowing what that audio is since it’s encrypted. First off, if the content is encrypted, you d

Jewelry and industrial uses do define the value of gold. Gold is not valuable from just being scarce. It is valuable because it is scarce and people want to use it. The price goes down when demand for jewelry goes down and goes up when dema
