Paul Graham came out publicly to defend Sam, and we instantly have this blog post about, wait, just a sec, let's dissect actually why Sam is still evil. Can we believe that Sam could actually be a good person? Today, Kara Swisher in he

I mean, yeah, same thought after seeing the signatories. What are some of the cliches being used around here ? Toothpaste is out of the tub? Arrow has left the bow. The dye is cast. The ship has sailed. (Thanks ChatGPT).

exactly. this isn't a leetcode problem where all you have to do is re-run the function, or do it iteratively vs recursively.

Interests align - those who keep the secrets are better off for keeping them (not just for punishment of breaking NDAs, but the fruits (pun intended) of revealing something wonderful).

I think one of the comments said vulgar and predatory. I second this. You don't need a bootcamp to break into Data Science, or Data Engineering, or Data anything.

This is my main grip with YC touting startups as a great place to join, but not helping them negotiating fair equity. Yes, founders deserve credit because they took risk, but they need to spread the wealth for execution. It should almost be

People have been saying these kinds things about Apple forever. Betting against a $2 Trillion company, not sure about that.

You also want to have someone doing a scientific study to be as unbiased as possible. As I understand it, (most of?) his family is immunocompromised. This doesn't mean he shouldn't do it, nor that what he's doing is not savin

When giving out numbers scientifically, it's important to be precise, or have the uncertainty known. In that case, 96% is widely different than 70%. As Andy Slavitt says in his April 22 podcast, when someone claims to know something to

I would argue that Apple is a luxury brand, and iPad Pro is an Apple product. If you're saying the Surface Pro can make people happy too, I'll give you that. It doesn't make me happy though.

We need to stop seeing the iPad Pro and Surface Pro as equals. iPad Pro is a luxury item, and it gives me so much more pleasure to use it. Aesthetics, design, the way I feel - these things matter. And they matter to most humans. We're

And Elizabeth Warren wrote it in her book, The Two Income Trap. Such a a great read! This was before I knew she was running for president, many years ago.

I have some criticism of the idea, actually. As someone who doesn't think they have good taste in clothes, I would not use this. I would want to upgrade my wardrobe and improve my style.

Eh, kind of a naive view. There's a moat in all the data Uber's collected, and analytics it's performed. Not to mention R&D into things like automatous driving, etc...

Doesn't matter if Uber is actually worth anything - it matters if a lot of people think Uber is worth anything :)

there's probably a correlation somewhere there. Usually if you do a big hit in the tech world, you have hard work in your DNA.

My biggest problem with the advice from YC and Startup school notes like this is that they pretend they're the first to ever discover these ideas or principles. They have experience with many start-ups over the last decade, which is tr

A lot of people seem to forget that Apple is a luxury brand. Their tech is not going to be the latest. Does Louis Vuitton care about the latest fabric ? No, cuz you're gonna pay a lot for it anyways!

I just don't think his courses deserve a knock, or that your course will be better because it uses Python. Both courses can be great :)

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it's probably for similar reasons that you chose PyTorch over Tensorflow :)

I also saw that his new deep learning courses are in Python. He may have changed his mind about teaching in Octave for his traditional Machine Learning courses, but I still learned a great deal and I feel like I have a strong intuition of

Just wanted to chime in - you mentioned Andrew Ng's Machine Learning Coursera lectures are outdated. I want to say that while this could be true, the reason he does everything in Octave is because he finds that students learn faster wh

I love it when physicists teach. Concise and pedagogical. Gives us physicists a good name :) Michael Hartl (Caltech Physicist) also does a killer job with Rails Tutorial. There's definitely a trend.
