Interesting article, is it concluding that different small networks are formed for different types of problems that we are trying to solve with the larger network?

How is this different from overfitting though? (PS: Overfitting isn't that bad if you think about it, as long as the test dataset or inference time model is trying to solve problems in the supposedly large enough training dataset)

Location: Seattle, WA

Remote: Sure?

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Sensors, systems, signal processing

Looking for applied research opportunities. Previously worked on building flight software for eVTOLs and sensor evaluation for autonomous flight. Currently focused on sensing for consumer health research.

Likes to work at the intersection of product, hardware and software.

5 years of professional experience developing systems and applied research on various sensing modalities. Your go-to buddy for hacking out prototypes for applied research. My previous work involves building fault tolerant systems for eVTOLs, and currently involved in consumer health research. My firmware background coupled with strong data analytic skills have been useful in figuring out complex physical systems and unique bugs they encompass!

If you're learning a scripting language, building a web scraper is a great way to learn some fundamentals of a language by using the basic data structures, getting the data flow correct and solving regex, parsing and printing issues.

Protip: use an IDE and a debugger to turbocharge your lesson!

Great point about how encoding-decoding custom objects/models to JSON is the biggest pain point. Coming with requirements before starting out the Object->JSON encoding, really helps you solve the more complex bottlenecks you might hit in the later "serialization".

Its super interesting especially when you are using floating points, dates, C-style unions (represented as nested lists/dicts).

Interesting idea, though I am wondering how you are going to scale since games involve live hosts? Rather you could use this as a platform to connect "live hosts" (who make up and publish their games) with companies wanting to connect.

You could provide platform, services, payment gateway etc.

Its gonna be interesting to see how the SDK is going to be developed to make the best use of the crank.

Simulating that is also going to be an interesting design question.

Its super important to focus on your career based on your interests, rather than recruiters priorities.

The author has some point in there, however, focussing on side projects does help you expand and broaden your experiences. Its supremely helpful when switching between slightly different industries.

Super interesting idea, I wonder if this can be used by insta celeb's to show 'flex' by spending on ridiculously priced goods.!

This probably sounds too cheesy, but don't forget to have fun! So, try different domains of CS, and see which one excites you the most!

There are a lot of subtleties of programming, algorithms and there are enough domains to choose from. So, don't follow the crowd, try enough new things to know what excites you, and then be a master at it!

There is also the question of trust, one of the biggest non-technical challenge to overcome would be to convince general public to get into a car which doesn't have a driver. It would be similar to getting into a rollercoaster.

No control whatsoever of what might happen next despite every bit of your trip being pre-planned to the dot.

Agreed, there is definitely a need for 'smart' automation. There are a lot of tools out there which work however, finding the right tool for the right job is difficult. Also, I think its extremely difficult to get the automation right in 100% of the cases. False positives (even 1%) could be extremely dangerous in cases. Hence, I think there is a huge market for 'smart' automation tools, people who can build them and also for people who can use them efficiently.
