They’re relatively new and more curated with both clients and talent

his parents are not naive idiots and I’m sure they’ve been giving him some form of counsel one way or another

Thank you! Will take a look

How can you be sure that it’s Intel and not other players or a consortium?

This is working well in parts of Manhattan - with group members in the thousands.. I’ve been able to give and get various things over the past 2 years.

Is this mainly available in North America?

if it's so easy we would see more 3rd world countries advancing past their current state. At the time of independence, people were very pessimistic about Singapore's prospects, it just looks inevitable now given their rise.

Haven't grown up in a 3rd world country - I disagree with you. Most countries in SG's state at that time never made it past these initial stages of growth.

In what ways is it bureaucratic? Is there a lot of process to get things done across teams or to ship new features?

Yup, I meant that they will put in a higher bid, or they might buy this new combination. This area is strategically important for them, and if you’ve read previous merger/M&A stories or books about them, this seems just like the first salvo.

This story is not yet over. There’s a decent chance that Doordash or Uber will make a bid.

I am not sure because they could still potentially get it via their SDKs.

Facebook also tracks your location via phones and has your location history - not sure if this is surfaced in this latest attempt at transparency

Probably bec of tensorflow, it’s optimized for deep learning and encourages certain kinds of models

Microsoft sells your browsing and installed apps data to companies

Tesseract does not work well out of the box and is usually outperformed by custom models for OCR

"Given that Tesla has never made an annual profit in the almost 15 years since we have existed, profit is obviously not what motivates us."

250-350k is low for Google and FB. It's more like 400-500k if you are senior, 500-700k if you are staff. This is including RSUs

there's also Quip

"... if you’re building a server, I can’t imagine using anything other than Go... I think Node is not the best system to build a massive server web. I would use Go for that. And honestly, that’s the reason why I left Node. It was the realization that: oh, actually, this is not the best server-side system ever."

More like case-studies, books, posts, and interviews. That would be interesting, thanks!

Thanks! will take a look

The techniques they used in the post actually try to overcome the lack of labeled data. (by using semi-supervised techniques/label propagation)

You are right that Google has a lot more raw data, but that is much cheaper to obtain, and depending on your problem domain, there could be a bunch of public datasets that are available for you to cobble together.

Some of these big tech companies don't necessarily have the right training data for their applications either. For example, Adam Coates from Baidu outlined some of the ways that they generated a better training set for their speech recognition use case here: https://youtu.be/g-sndkf7mCs?t=3817

is this in terms of operating and debugging a kalman filter?
