I object to the notion that having "american born engineers" is the cause of their issues.

Welding is coming along. Ever heard of Path Robotics? That's high-mix, high-complexity welds. (There are a lot of other, less-sophisticated welding robots out there.) The biggest moat for a welder right now is special certifications to

I tried to build this back around 2020. I think my concept was trying to be too cute in several places. But this was the basic idea. I found that neither side of the market wanted to rethink the market, they just wanted something that worke

I've been mostly pleased with our use of python-polylith [1] with poetry in a production application. We output a webapp, python sdk, and CLI as separate "projects." It doesn't _really_ solve python dependency/impor

Are there any comparisons of weather apps by area? For example, "for the San Francisco bay area, apple weather is most accurate on rain. But for NYC accuweather is better." I suppose you ought to be comparing weather APIs rather t

I wouldn't worry about automated ATS. Their use is way overstated on LinkedIn, by "resume experts," etc. I'm talking about whether a human can read the document comfortably.

I would be careful with LaTeX. I use to have a LaTeX resume generated with LuaTeX. At an old company, I saw my LaTeX resume in the ATS long after I was hired. Apparently, something happened and the PDF displayed as blurred-but-not-unreadabl

I would have liked to see them focus on less well-known companies. It seems quite possible that the reference human responses (from exponent) were already present in the training data.

It is definitely harder to grow this muscle when you are remote. Be biased towards hopping on a call/zoom rather than messaging on slack, etc.

I would be interested to hear more about how much they were discussing their failures/challenges with others. It sounds like this might be a case of, "I finally talked to someone about it and they unblocked me in an hour." Wh

I would love to learn if TripleByte's data was sold off somewhere? I also had this concern (which was probably a bit overblown). One of the main scenarios I was concerned about was a case where the firm was sold off for parts.

You could check out ethical ads [1]. I have no first-hand experience with them as a publisher. But they are fairly unobtrusive on readthedocs [2] sites. [1] https://www.ethicalads.io/publishers/ [2] https://

Waymo's relatively rapid geonet expansion suggests that they have either improved their mapping productivity substantially or gone fully map-less. I can't speak to their RVA operations.

Waymo is currently under investigation for multiple incidents, not all of which it had previously disclosed to the NHTSA [0]. The recent light pole incident also doesn't help [1]. If they are doing 50k rides a day, then they would appe

Yeah, I wonder if that is 425k _formatted_ lines of APL? I'm blanking: wasn't there someone who wrote their hedge fund's entire data processing pipeline in 4 lines of APL?

That makes sense. Explainability would be a big issue/requirement with any attempted automated decision framework. I don't know if I would want my doctor to just order up tests based on the output of some app without understanding

(Tangentially related to, “A WAY TO END CANCER”) After seeing how my doctor iteratively ordered up different sets of tests for me over the course of a few months, I got to thinking about improving decision trees for blood testing (and maybe

A dating app is a two sided market. And those are hard to get going. You need a lot of marketing, for one.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but: I wish they had placed an ad for placemark on geojson.io. I had no idea this existed until just now but I’ve worked at two companies where a lot of coworkers could have benefited greatly from a map app t

It does. The problem is that I have a hard time determining if the output is, indeed, what I was trying to query in the first place!
