Generally speaking I only read 3 star reviews.

5 star and 1 star reviews are usually garbage - either fluffed fake reviews, or reviews outraged about something unrelated with the quality of the product itself.

As always, there's a happy balance. It is probably bad to be a social recluse, unless you are in crunch mode and not looking for hiring anytime soon, but at the same time it's probably bad to be out for events every night and spending too much time socializing.

Wouldn't that be a self-supervised learning? Yes, as the brain lears, it gets rewarded or not, but not by any external organism - rather by itself (or a part of itself). The "learning instruction manual" is in there somewhere.

So if you are able to code an AI so that it can run experiments over itself and gradually build this "learning instruction manual" eventually it will become able to do things you never though of in the first place.

Well, after the Snowden reveals, everyone was talking about it every day for more than an year.

Did that actually lead to companies choose EU providers over USA ones? Not sure, but it certainly was a factor that many considered.

Especially in areas where client data is very sensitive (like healthcare), EU companies are extremely paranoid about it.

Philosophy is a mandatory schools in Italy's lyceums.

Really, there are many reasons that I left that country, but the high school education it provides (on average) is absolute world-class when it comes to the "soft" skills.

Thank you for answering.

The same way students can take a semester off, could employed people take a sabbatical to focus on this?

Cheers

Hi Kat.

Two questions:

1) If we are still looking for / selecting technical co-founders, can we apply?

2) Does the entire team need to dedicate itself full time to this? Alternatively, if the "paying bills" job is quite light (2-3 hours per day), and we are willing to forego some sleep, can we still apply?

Cheers
