Thank you for bringing the Neumann's quote. At times I get so bogged down because of these complex mathematical notations. This was particularly frustrating as mathematics is an area where I shine. I started reading between the lines and rewriting those equations in a way I understand. I'm glad to know that many people resonate with this and I'm not the only one that struggles. Thanks HN!

Hey, thanks for your advice. I'm not sure if I can do that as my company's focus is completely different to an ML research required for a PhD.

I'm in a similar boat thinking about getting a PhD in AI/ML. I have a masters degree and in 2 years of my current job (research based) have already published 2 conference papers one of which I'm a lead author. My work colleagues who aren't research oriented suggested me to get a PhD instead because of the effort I put in reading papers and spending hours on solving a problem. It makes sense to me at times because not many people in my company have a hardcore ML background and when I'm stuck reading a paper or solving a ML problem, it's difficult to find someone to discuss it with. I end up spending most time in figuring it out or eventually giving it up. This when I miss academia the most. I'm on H1B visa and have money constraints so giving up a 6 figure salary and living on stipend is something freaks me out.

I'd really appreciate if anyone reading this comment have something to suggest. Thanks a lot HN community, you've been a great support.

UPENN had something called F1 autonomous racing competition where they design and build 1/10th version of a F1 car race. They also have a tutorial on how to build one. Here's the link: http://f1tenth.org/

One of the best algorithms class I have taken. I liked his way of introducing new concepts and intuition behind them. He really enjoys teaching algorithms.

I think there's an inconsistency with the title of the article and what's mentioned. The title suggests that the study used 'Cardiogram and Apple watch'. However in the article it says that other wearable were also part of this study:

> Now, the startup is reaching a new milestone, this morning publishing the first large-N peer-reviewed clinical study showing that the Apple Watch and other wearables can detect atrial fibrillation with a high degree of accuracy.

Here's my two cents. I usually write a cover letter when applying for jobs and expect one when interviewing. As once a recruiter told me, think of cover letter as an extended resume and mention those points that you think are worth elaborating.

Instead of writing a long email, turn it into a document (cover letter) and talk about your skills (add github link) and what makes you passionate about the job. I keep it formal but not to an extend where it wastes my time.

I don't see how by only blocking firms will help clean this H1B abuse. The H1B visa abusers and spammers should be screened out before the applications are put into the lottery. Having this process in place, companies like Infosys, TCS etc. can't misuse it as all the 'real' and 'well-deserved' applications are in lottery.
