how do you feel about still having to use outlook because of concerns about a competitor that's not even doing social anymore? I've read FB SWEs be aghast about people uploading whiteboard photos to Google Photos to be searchable

really, Picasa led to Google Photos as the previous photo product the company had ..

by webspiderus 8y ago
some of that team helped build the Google Photos app, but Google Photos was a product in its own right even before Bump joined the company and they were part of a (much) larger effort, of course.

The research fix may have been to train their data better but the blacklist of bad terms was as real of a product fix as it gets.

by webspiderus 8y ago
Well, to be fair they excluded high tens / low hundreds of potentially offensive terms from search before even launching and when this came out they just extended the list a little. Sometimes having product vision requires recognizing

Sure, you can create a set of 'face templates' that may or not be linked to a profile, and then match against them as long as you have some meaningful way to use the matching templates without a profile.

unfortunately, it certainly doesn't seem like the company does this all the time. i got placed onto a team which has no bearing on my background experience whatsoever, and after approaching my tech lead and some HR people to continue the co

that's weird, because my experience is exactly the opposite! I've spent about 4 months on my team so far, which has very little to do with my background, and after I realized just how bad the fit was, I started a conversation with my tech l

This is also not entirely accurate. I got my offer a good 5 months before I even knew which teams I had a chance to speak with before the allocation process, let alone before I knew which team I would be placed on.

I think this should also have the added effect of being overall faster, as doing lots of addition would be quicker than doing lots of multiplication (log notwithstanding).

As another sample, I'll say I'm far from feeling swindled. I was a bit disappointed that the publicly available ML class and its Stanford equivalent only differed in one optional discussion a week - but I certainly don't feel the time taken

it's interesting because I just got the elevator question for the first time a month or two ago and was still scratching my head trying to figure out where the decision point on that question is. i ended up spending about half the interview

completely agree. as someone that's just about to graduate, i have to say i was a little shocked when i figured out this is the way things are. the difference between the first engineer and one of the founders never seemed so categorical to

In my high school public speaking class, we also had a goal to remove these stop words from our speech by the end of the semester - but in our case, the teacher would simply stop you if you ever said one of these stop words in class, at whi

Absolutely (in the US here). Some carriers will allow you to block all text messages, which can get rid of the annoying ones you wouldn't want to accept, but also forces legitimate ones to get eaten - causing some people to think you're ign

I've had a similar gripe with scrolling, although I encountered with text editors instead of browsers. Having used Sublime Text for a while (which does what the article suggests and shows you as much white space as is needed to keep the dis

F.lux is actually available for all platforms! I've been using it on Windows for a while, one of my favorite small utilities.

this is literally the first thing taught in both of the machine learning classes I've taken from Prof. Ng at Stanford, so maybe it's the application of logistic regression more than the estimation technique itself that makes machine learnin

for what it's worth, I'm taking Stanford's version of the ML class that Prof. Ng is offering, and aside from being a couple of weeks and ahead and having to do a final project, it is pretty much the same offering as that available the outsi

To speak for the latter, Google's 10% across-the-board raise last year does apply to new hires, personally speaking. I'm surprised that my offer is above the MS median and average.

this is the the same class. having taken it last year (and taking Stanford's version of ml-class), this is a great choice for a more thorough exploration of the (mathematically) finer points of the methods covered in ml-class. Although I'm

so, is ml-class.com then more comparable to the CS 229A class that is being offered this year? I'm taking the latter, and was wondering how similar the two are.

having taken the 224W, 229, and 246 courses, I will say that they provide a good introduction to a lot of the data mining algorithms (with 224w emphasizing graph-based algorithms, 246 emphasizing things like decision trees and association r

just looks like "this" needs to be properly disambiguated :)

I definitely agree with your last point - part of the reason why I decided to take a machine learning class again from Prof. Ng was because I still had a sense of unease that I wasn't quite getting the topics that would really be important
