Some good things German people actually did. (The ones that opposed the Nazi party), and now the _common_ belief is that _all_ Germans were Nazis

What's your experience with Ray
Re:MLops Startups Profits on Sunday November 14, 2021 @05:48PM (#29221507)
Totally agree with you, today Cloud companies: GCP, AWS and Azure native ML solutions are not a E2E platform but different teams that work independently and as a whole release a ML solution, specifically I can talk about Vertex AI. Notebooks, Training, Prediction while they provide Enterprise features (Security, Network, IAM, Encryption) do not play well with users. (Expect ML users to be Cloud Engineers) and an ML E2E workflow is hard to achieve.

I would divide the main challenges for AI startups as follows: 1. Support Enterprise Features. (Security, IAM, VPC-SC, Ecripyion) 2. If providing Compute Resources do not make that your main source of income (i.e. DeepNote, Saturn Cloud) which that may not scale. 3. Data integration. (BigQuery, S3, GCS, etc)

Databricks is one of the ones that have integrated with each of the clouds and provide this E2E workflow nicely, in addition they have seen the nascent Analytics market and invest on it. My concern with some startups: Cohere.AI similar to OpenAI GPT3, is that some are only solving some part of the ML workflow: (Seldom, OctoML, etc.) they may get some customers now, but will be hard to scale, and probably best destiny is getting acquire by major players.

MLops Startups Profits

I have seen the rise of MLOps startups such as Cohere.ai, Saturn Cloud, Deepnote, octoML, weights and biases, etc. How really each of them are using VC money and making profits or just burning money? Reasoning: I work in ML and computer resources are extremely expensive hence making a business out of it doesn't make much sense in the long run

Anyone has the link how they come up with this number?
No, that's incorrect I live in Orange county by far one of the best places for bikes and pedestrians and again I can tell you I won't use public transportation.
You clearly have no kids
As a black person that have lived in Oakland i can tell you we need more bugdet and police and criminals behind bars
Re:Don’t do interviews, do discussions on Monday November 08, 2021 @12:11AM (#29146277)
In my experience I have seen some candidates that work very hard and mainly do boiler plate code in their projects, they struggle in the Algos/data structures but at the end of the day they get the job done. Others perform very good in Algos/data structures but produce very little at work, and also people that do good and perform above expectations. Is hard for me to actually filter good candidates, and at the end of the day, I value output and some quality.

The West normally lacks understanding what hard work, innovation and intelligence is a universal value. During my years at Stanford I had the opportunity to learn about the North Korea nuclear program and how the West never imagine the advancement they produced with very limited resources and without Russian help. Couple of professors visited the nuclear facilities as part of the UN investigation and were shocked with the intelligence, and innovation of Korean engineers. The rest is history and we have now a North Korea with nuclear capabilities

This may be unrealistic in our life time. I have 2 kids, 1 toddler and 1 newborn, i can't imagine biking, using public transportation or anything similar when going to doctor, grocery shopping, etc.
Re:Ask HN: What you up to? (Who doesn't want to be hired?) on Monday November 01, 2021 @10:37PM (#29076243)
Just doing paternity leave before I quit to new job. Reading some system design, but is hard to find time. Just waiting for stocks to vest before I switch to the new job, so no real coding I have done in the past 3 weeks
I totally agree. I know people that work in different areas, but their salaries are mainly paid by Ads money. To me is like working for Nazi party and saying you were only working in poster ink technology...
Re:The Reading Obsession on Monday November 01, 2021 @03:21PM (#29071653)
In foreign languages such as Spanish, ortography is very important: reading helps you get better at it. This is true normally pre-college years.
Culture is very similar, values the same, historically we both were Spanish territories
Re:Bash functions are better than I thought on Monday November 01, 2021 @12:57AM (#29063139)
We used to have very long shell scripts and recently I refactor most of them to use functions and shellcheck in our presubmit. This has greatly helped catching bugs and improving readability
Re:Leaving Google on Friday October 22, 2021 @11:27PM (#28965425)
Still depends on the org. Many orgs still engineering driven. This happens when engineers are more familiar with tech and business than PM, which surprisingly is not that uncommon (GCP)
Would u consider moving to US for work, get insurance and have your wife treated here?
Re:Ask HN: Career outlook in tech without a CS degree? on Wednesday October 20, 2021 @06:27PM (#28937638)
My advise is to get a technical job in tech support in a large company's which then later give you the option to do rotation. Other option is to do a boot camp program like Hackacademy.
I wrote Python code for 4 years, then moved to GoLang I really appreciate the typing languages as prevent so many bugs I just was used to handle
This is tangential to the salary and benefits. I live in a county in California where homeless is close to 0 and still makes 3x what a SWE in Europe. American companies such as FAANG take care better of their employees than Europe.
Yes, was very disappointed as they closed the airshow.
Re:Data scientists shouldn’t need to know Kubernetes on Saturday September 25, 2021 @04:15AM (#28651443)
Very limited and unfair comparison between Kubeflow and metaflow. Metaflow is dependent on AWS (it is mentioned but not emphasized). To me this is a non-starter. It makes sense for Netflix but not for the rest of the world
I tried to sign up and got an error
Stripe, Robinhood, Square are offering larger TC. An experience is relevant
