> Only the University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins University were willing to welcome her straight into a doctoral program. She’ll start at Maryland in the fall. When she finishes, it will be her first degree.
Jeez... what a damning indictment of today's Universities.
She could just use her publication as a dissertation and be done with it!
This is ignoring the value of the whole education process, that you go through the years at a university.
I disagree that she should skip the general education.

Stupid question: Is there any chance that I, as an engineer, can get away from learning the Math side of AI but still drill deeper into the lower level of CUDA or even GPU architecture? If so, how do I start? I guess I should learn about optimization and why we chose to use GPU for certain computations.
Parallel question: I work as a Data Engineer and always wonder if it's possible to get into MLE or AI Data Engineering without knowing AI/ML. I thought I only need to know what the data looks like, but so far I see every job description of an MLE requires background in AI.
> Math side of AI but still drill deeper into the lower level of CUDA or even GPU architecture
CUDA requires clear understanding of mathematics related to graphics processing and algebra. Using CUDA like you would use traditional CPU would yield abysmal performance.
> MLE or AI Data Engineering without knowing AI/ML
It's impossible to do so, considering that you need to know exactly how the data is used in the models. At the very least you need to understand the basics of the systems that use your data.
Like 90% of the time spent in creating ML based applications is preparing the data to be useful for a particular use case. And if you take Google ML Crash Course, you'll understand why you need to know what and why.

You should not be downvoted. I think people are misunderstanding your comment.
But I am confused about another part.
Why would you prefer (clearly marked) "refurbished" HDDs for 20% less than new, if you expect them to last 5 years? If a new HDD would last 6+ years, you're better off buying new, right?
I guess I can see electing to buy into the lower part of the bathtub curve, but I have a difficult time trusting that "refurb" doesn't reset your timeline on the curve (e.g. by replacing the PCB outside the platter box).
They're not 20% less, they're a third of the price of a new one.

Thanks! I just checked an 10TB Ironwolf bought to a German seller through Amazon.fr less than two months ago: Its warranty expires in a few days... :(
From what I see, the majority of HDDs on Amazon are now used devices.
Which isn't necessarily bad... HDDs have a much longer lifespan than SSDs. I expect my used HDDs to last at least 5years in my RAID5 setup.

Because China is a rival geopolitical power and the US is... us.
It's a national security concern. I get that there's a lot of conversation and debate to be had on the topic but the answer here is very straightforward and I don't understand why people are so obtuse about it.
This law is dumb, because in no way does it prevent the exact same data to be collected, processed by a US entity and then transferred to China.
I suspect that it's not about data being transferred, but the fact that TikTok can shape opinions of Americans... which US companies do a lot, without any oversight.
Why is that?
Just because an orderly liquidation would take some time does not mean it would be impossible for him to sell.
As a case in point, when he decided to invest in twitter, he was able to use his wealth pretty easily.
I'm pretty sure that he didn't liquidate $50bn in stock to get the money for buying twitter. (That $50bn includes the 20% capital gains tax, that leaves $40bn in cash)

That's pretty cool.
- What did you use to prototype your project? What software and what companies offered prototyping services for your project?
- Was it hard to get the whole machine made? How is the market for small scale manufacturing?
I'm asking because I have some designs, that I never materialized - because there were no companies that would mill a one off item.
Good job hijacking your own pavlovian responses to run more. Personally, the low-tech solution of a plunger stuck to my forehead with a klondike bar dangling from the end has always worked for me.
Related but if you're wanting to get into running (and have the environment for it) - I HIGHLY recommend favoring trail running over running streets/sidewalks. It's far better for your joints, it'll make you work harder since it'll absorb some of your energy, and it'll improve your proprioception.

Or you could borrow someone's labrador retriever and have the dog pull you. They like to go real far and real fast... and you get to practice hard turns.
> I HIGHLY recommend favoring trail running over running streets/sidewalks
As a triathlete - I would add something: for me it's more a case of running on soil, over a hard surface. Trail running may take you to a stony path, which is as bad as pavement/concrete.
But in the end it's training your running form to be the best it can be for running, that matters. Running uphill helps to naturally train a good form, even if it's significantly harder.

>we receive a _ton_ of resumes that have no experience in the technologies we're hiring for.
No one wants to train employees anymore.
You're right... Companies should pay mid 6 figures, as well as downtime for training.
Short answer is that most corporations don't have a job in training people.
