Ask HN: HN like website but for other fields
Looking for websites similar to HN but that are focused on other fields (e.g. biology, geopolitics, …).The articles and comments on HN are great but I have not found something similar for other fields.

Same here, I did a bachelor in CS/math, then a masters in Data Science. Really enjoyed the theory/application a lot but did not like the idea of having to do it as a living.
If I have to build a piece of software then I can be quite certain that I can deliver. For a Data Science project on the other hand, there are a lot of ifs, e.g. quality of data, how well does it actual generalize, etc.
I think in an environment where the higher ups understand ML well and you have a good team it could be fun; the moment the higher ups don’t understand it so well, I feel like it could be the source of a lot of stress.
My recent recruiter was also skeptical at first when I applied for a swe position with an ML background.
