The clear use case is serverless—without the complications of DynamoDB (expensive, 0.03/GB read), DynamoDB+DAX (VPC complications), or Redis (again, VPC requirements). This instantly makes a number of applications able to run directly

It’s very clear that Copilot/GPT-4 give superpowers to the generalist—-rapid prototyping—-and to the ultra-specialist—-no more yak-shaving in other domains. Most roles that are run-of-the-mill “knows framework X” just enough to support

Noah is too dumb to read. Obviously increase supply (fracking, pipelines, offshore drilling, etc.) And create more alternatives (actual cheaper alternatives, like nuclear power plants) as a substitution effect

And that’s a good thing. (most majors that can be completed by GPT-3 and focus on “papers” aren’t substantive in the first place)

Therapy and medicine won't help. Usually the answers are: clean up the negative people around you (fire that person as your boss, network and take tons of other interviews sufficient to move or have a fallback option so you worry less)

This largely misses the mark. Kaggle is a machine learning competition platform for a small set of exceptional machine learning talent, and a lot of students or hangers-on. "Machine learning projects – if ML is being attempted at all –

She outright spits on the way Bezos made his money, when he has one of the most honest and efficiency-enhancing paths to earning his fortune. Is the world a better place because Gates used blatantly illegal monopolistic practices to stifle

The author understands little to nothing about programming. I'd bet on the law of the straight line over his/her uninformed take. Python is slow, but PyTorch is fast, GBTs are fast, Cython is fast, Pandas and Numpy are fast (and e

There is no nobility in spending money someone else earned on a bunch of silly virtue signaling. Good for her for marrying well, but let's not pretend this is about anything more than her desire for attention.

If we all used generics to treat disease, how would pharma companies make tens of billions on vaccines and boosters and re-boosters, market less-effective drugs with five-figure price tags, and who would repay YouTube and Twitter for the fo

The only good thing about TripleByte was the structured quiz and interview process. Everything else--inability to edit key portions of profile, the most boring set of tech jobs imaginable, very few companies on there--was a joke. The quizze

It's just a lucky coincidence that the industry colludes to not test generics (or falsify studies claiming they are ineffective, as was done with hydroxychlorquine) so they can continue to develop on-patent $56k per year drugs to sell

The author is clueless. There's a lot of hype and a lot of people / products that aren't actually any good at ML (or exist as an academic venture without getting their hands dirty). But when ML works--Uber forecasting demand,
