It happened to me one in the desert, at night. I have blindly followed Google Maps, and I ended up without a signal, in a middle of no where. Luckily, I was not very far from the city.
Agriculture.
With global warming changing traditional farming, the knowledge and expertise of local farmers is not relevant.
Thanks to those who worked tirelessly to work on Open Source projects.
That doesn't change the fact that there were many people in SV at the time. Arguably, Sam and the team did very well.
These lectures are timeless. The advises in there are still valuable in .net era.
Just to add to this comment. If users can't watch/read, you can listen to podcasts while you run or drive a car, it can help you to understand how people try to build a business. There was a podcast (How to Start a Startup | Podcast on Spotify)
. On that note, I enjoyed also listening to those who are building projects, and share their journeys e.g. Nathan's interviews with SaaS founders (

In the last few years, I have consumed news/content mostly via Social media, and I keep noticing the redundancy and narrowed recommendations of (FB, Twitter) algorithmic timelines. Since I didn't want to use other apps to consume news, I initially tried to manually personalize my timelines. After several attempts, FB remains a black box, without easy ways to adjust/influence the "algorithmic"...
What are the main advantages compared to Airflow. We use Airflow to orchestrate ML jobs/tasks, and I found it to be more flexible comparing other tools we tested.
So the whole idea here is to analyze the data dump from fb. I have checked the website, but it seems that you put efforts to reverse-engineer the logic in the dump and how it is stored.
A follow up question. Other than data dump, is there any other sources you use?
I always thought that recommendation engines should be customized and adjusted by the user. It seems that social platforms are forcing what they think is relevant on me, and I have stopped using some social platforms for this reason. In some cases, I wrote scripts to fetch content (e.g. tweets, rss feeds) and apply my own methods to track topics, or bust the bubble. When the timeline started to show irrelevant topics to my interest (that changed over time), or non-eye opener topics, I usually start leaving the platform as a user.
what does this mean to Tech in EU/London?

What's the best way to improve someone's technical writing skills?. I think writing is one of the most undervalued skill, and I would like to work on it this year.
My target audience are developers and tech-savvy people in general. Is there any book, talk, or habits that I need to look at?.
I hope they can give "Open AI" name to huggingface instead. This exclusive agreement is anything but "OPEN".
