"I installed a package, but I can't import it!?"
Best fix: don't use the "pip" command, instead use "python -m pip"
This ensures the package is installed into the same Python you'll be running.

@rharang +1 on this, but also the same for X+ years of industry experience req; a PhD + (X-4) years of industry experience could be equivalent while many, who don’t have PhD, don’t believe that :) (my personal experience)

Here’s the problem with 1:1s as an engineering manager:

Most engineers don’t come to 1:1s with set agendas, so it turns into you talking for >30% of the time.

🤔 As an EM, how do you make the most of 1:1 time for your direct report?

Someone is trying to scam my PhD student. My student asks to verify their identity 1/2

Today on the blog we present a 2-stage framework for anomaly detection that combines recent progress on deep representation learning and classic one-class algorithms, is simple to train, and results in state-of-the-art performance. Learn more ↓ https://t.co/4r8jHIXp3I
