you only need two operators, the kubeoperator, the dataflow operator and then every task is just a standalone, vertically scalable service on k8s or a giant horizontally scalable compute job

the thing is humans have most efficiently encoded (in detail) reality in text. humans already highlight what is worth encoding about reality. for example, you can finetune gpt-2 to have an idea of sexual biology by having it read erotica.

not only does the industry not have a labor union, there's a culture of passion which is almost like having a negative union. any time passion is involved, you are being paid less than market. cash is a more liquid currency and can in

Responding in general to the meme of "but what is your time worth?" people often underestimate their ability to change their own utility functions. If you're watching 4 hours of TV every night (or reading or w/e other &

This seems like such an odd response to me. The Martian is as far as you can get from hard sci-fi? It seems like Andy writes exactly for movies. Heavy on scene and technicality details, but very, very scant on quality dialogue and charact

The request of cover letters in certain fields are to me a red flag. It seems very useful in some fields which require the skills a cover letter shows off and could substitute for a screen or casual interview. In many technical fields howev
