They missed a zero behind the comma, didn't they?


Likely. I did one time a creatine loading week of 30gr a day at 100kg body weight and I had to drink 7L of water to not feel like I have a hangover.


Both options excite me for different reasons - so what now? :)


if you're money interested probably amazon -- they might fire you in a few months but it's a brand name and you'll be onto a new job in no time

Vs grad school is expensive and another 2 years of no income?

But idk my friend, amazon sucked a long time ago, it sucks even more now. sorry to be a troll


The thing is I don't have a strong preference since intellectually I would be more interested in Cambridge, but would prefer living in the location for which I've got the Amazon offer - and in addition to that I'm confident that I will be happy with either choice, so for me it's really just about taking the rational choice career-wise


I try not to hold strong opinions, and to be equinanimous, but—don’t let location be the guide. As an Old, let me assure you… 2-3 years is so much less time than it seems to you now. You can live anywhere for the duration of a Master’s program.

If you’re the sort of human who is weighing a choice between locations now (meaning, I assume, major cities; informed mainly by your personal preferences rather than, say, an obligation to stay close to family) then you’ll be able to choose between locations afterward too.

Your career will be fine. It will reinvent itself constantly over the years of your working life anyway.

Amazon’s barely as old as you are; your professors at Cambridge will—themselves, individually—have been thinking seriously for twice that long, about aspects of the human condition that have proven durable over orders of magnitude longer.

The best preparation to stay oriented through rapid change is a firm grounding in the unchanging. Your choice now will change who you are. And as wise as “The Amazon Way” may be, humanity’s collective experience offers a much more diverse intellectual toolkit than just that way of working.


if you want to offload the decision to a decision engine, might i recommend the following prompt to the LLM of your choice:

> "which should i choose: 1 word only"

the comments are already universally aligned. but, it now seems you want a defense of your preference.


I am strongly against asking an llm to weigh the pros and cons of important life decisions. Flipping a coin or throwing bones on the floor is just as good at making an important decision. No one can know, you can't predict the future. Do what excites you. I was so excited to go to grad school, you find your people. Maybe you love it, maybe you get tired of it. That was a good decision for me, but could be the worst for someone else.


Have you benchmarked this against autoscheduling like with TVMs Ansor?


There are some surprises like the word 'r'


Cool site, I think the fact that bots WILL try to get access to your server as soon as it's publicly available should be mentioned more in basic tutorials etc... I remember panicing when I had set up my first webserver as a teenager and was checking the nginx logs out of curiosity, I thought this was a real threat to the security of the server and almost shut it down lol.


Google Maps is definitely one of the technically coolest big tech products imo. It's fascinating what kind of non-obvious insights you can get from the combined user data (E.g. Crowdedness of public places, insights like in the article etc.)


What I find very interesting about it is how much data they have (and are able to collect).

I'm personally someone who is less worried about "privacy" for this sort of data. But I know lots of other people feel differently.

To me, this is a great example of the "greater good" for data sharing. But it is also a great example of responsible use of data.


The value of said data is tremendous, and could lead to great societal benefits if available for research.

So much so that I would argue that google (et al) should be compelled to make the data publicly available.

They have enough money, let's make society better.


They are making this data publicly available -- after aggregation and anonymization.


A fraction of the data they collect, to keep up appearances.


Publicly releasing 100% of the maps data they collect would be the most gigantic privacy violation the world has ever seen.


Are you seriously suggesting that google is gatekeeping the data because they care about privacy ?
