As soon as Bitcoin market cap starts shooting up, the SEC starts banning coins and increasing regulation. It’s a correlation as clear as day. The US government is actively trying to suppress Bitcoin/crypto growth. This is no coincidence

How long did you work at Amazon? I’m a current employee and absolutely hate it. But the money is good and I’m learning a lot about building large scale systems

Yup I agree with this. Sam Altman is no Paul graham, it he’s trying to fill the void that Paul graham left. His platitudes are generic, not insightful or original. But he has to put out “content”

This is bad advice, all the companies that pay well ask algorithms problems. Either play ball or be stuck at low wages

My family has multiple people who have spent extended periods of time in mental hospitals, I know what goes on there. But I still stick by my point

Mental disabilities are mostly adaptations that have huge upside. Technology is exacerbating that upside. You can’t have a majority autistic society, but you want some of them around

Just because you aren’t employed in a job that can make use of deep learning doesn’t mean it isn’t profitable. It’s extremely profitable. I’m tired of reading about some dumb alternatives that aren’t even relevant to the topic. Deep learning works very well for a certain class of problems. Continuing on with the trope that it doesn’t work just shows you aren’t educated

Why can’t there be a discussion on machine learning without everyone on HN trying to prove how unnecessary it is. Queue the anecdotes on simpler regression based methods, over paid scientists, and how much superior some other simpler method is.

Not really. H1B immigrants raise the bar on hiring. Often times they are willing to work more hours, study more, etc for a chance to thrive in the USA. This reduces working conditions, effective wages, and employment prospects for Americans.
