Even with running ML experiments you'd mostly want to run them on rented out clusters anyway

Wouldn't you say that people who pursue deep architectural knowledge should just go down the AI Researcher career track? I feel like that's where that sort of knowledge actualy matters.

Would be curious about where the value of this acquisition lie. Usually acquisitions like this are high level recruitment operations. Apple is sorely lacking in AI implementation so I’m not sure more research is what they’re after. What engineer competencies are they adding to their arsenal with this?

Yeah, it's mind boggling how sinophobic online techies are. Granted, Xi is in sole control of China, but this seems like it's an independent group that just happened to make breakthrough which explains their low spend.

LOL, my RL professor is gonna be happy. After the field got overlooked for soooo long

Wait, are you saying my hours poured into clingo/ASP mightactuallybe marketable?

Idk about marketable, but I think it's cool :)

just banning isn't a good idea. Chinese companies should be forced to give technology transfers.

Now that was the entire point of this, remember? The offer was to sell to an American entity, or be banned. They didn’t want to sell, so here we are.

I'm literally using ASP and Clingo to do logic programming for school. And you're telling it became relevant to you in your work??

I use ASP at work! I used it as the core of a powerful code generator: I modeled the type system I wanted to implement, some base operations and derivation rules, and had it synthesize implementations for every possible operator between every possible pair of types. I run clasp and it dumps out thousands of lines of C# implementing a simple symbolic matrix linear algebra library. It's one of the most beautiful things I've made, imo.

Hey everyone, I'm currently reading Chaos Monkeys and the Pragmatic Engineer newsletter, both were very good sources and gave me an insider's for the sorts of mindset people in the valley have.

Are there any other good resources like PE's Meta and Amazon engineering culture series? Specifically I would love to learn more about Google, Microsoft, and Netflix. Not really looking for a business analysis, but rather an insider's perspective on how these companies worked.
