Just 20 minutes one way adds up to 20 working days per year. That's 4 weeks of unpaid labor! People are unhappy about extra money spent on Air Conditioning or an extra office chair but the most are happy to carry the opportunity cost o

I am constantly puzzled by people saying that AI is overhyped and fresh grads won't have enough jobs for them. Almost every real life industry: retail, logistics, construction, farming, heavy industries, mining, medicine have just rece

The most recent example has been supply failure detection in sales timeseries data with intermittent demand. Ended up using approach described in The Longest Run of Heads by Mark F. Schilling, which is outstandingly well written stats paper

Western philosophy starting from Ancient Greeks has offered a variety of coherent life philosophies that both help with untouched wounding and ego-striving. The books provide cheap and accessible salvation which is just not in demand by mos

Young have the freedom to risk, so they do. The most fail, but some survive. Older have less freedom, so fewer risk. Not as many fail, so some survive. We observe some young and some older founders who have survived. What does it tell us? N

I'd like to add that the data comes from experiments, which are simplified versions of real life problems. Oftentimes, "irrational" behavior depends on the way simplification is made and have no chances to generalise outside

Folks, thanks for bringing it up. I am running too. These 22 minutes every other day have helped me to stay cheerful for the last 3 years. Rarely, my knees give me a hard time, but aching knees are fine in comparison to being toxic to mysel

Async standups are great even for on-site teams. First, people only spend half a minute to post it; manager needs half a minute to read it to know whats going on. After it is posted, everyone have something to refer to before the weekly mee

Here is a great caltech lecture about why "simple" models have better out of sample performance. Jump to 28:00, if you want to get straight to the point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZBUDG12Nr0&list=PLD63A2

I wonder if it may be generalized to development teams. Do you think well-built REMOTE dev teams with effective leadership would perform better than dev teams that spend time on interaction? Why then there are so few remote positions? Shoul
