The crux is the realization of the absurdity of (unrealistic) expectations. Those who figure it out early are able to find balance. But those who succumb to it generally end up hating themselves and t…

While I agree with most of what's written, I think that revenue from volatile stocks does come at others' expense and, thus, might not be an example the author should be including.

Or port-knocking.

India already did it. At that time I thought that it was outrageous but now I'm forced to reconsider.

Well it's hosted on GitHub pages. So I'd wager yes.

Same here. The more I've progressed in CS, the more dissatisfied I am. Outside of creating algorithms that vie for constant user attention (the basic business model of FAANG), I don't see an…

How difficult is it to transition from Computer Science to Biomedics? Particularly towards the field of Genomics (where CRISPR is).

What in the world is bake-it-in-the-oven?

Imagine a crowd sourced metadataset of which model output is "good". What happens when we try to incorporate that knowledge into the pre-existing model? Will it learn to generate more "…
