At 19, I joined Riiid, a korean edtech unicorn, as its youngest engineer.
I learned Swift on the job, shipped an app used by millions, taught myself ML, and became a full time research scientist without a bachelor's.
I had proven I could do the work. I still didn't always feel qualified to be in the room.
You can be ready before you feel ready. Start anyway.
Community Notes show when theyโre found helpful by people who normally disagree. What if we could do the same for posts, recognizing posts that are liked by people who normally disagree? Weโve heard requests for this for years since launching Community Notes, and weโre starting a small, experimental pilot to test the concept.
Starting today, a subset of Community Notes contributors โ representing a wide range of viewpoints โ will occasionally see a new callout in the product. The callout shows based on early and limited Like signals on the post. Contributors can then rate and provide feedback about the post, helping to develop an open source algorithm that could effectively identify posts liked by people from different perspectives.
People often feel the world is divided, yet Community Notes shows people can agree, even on contentious topics. This experimental new feature seeks to uncover ideas, insights, and opinions that bridge perspectives. It can bring awareness to what resonates broadly. It could motivate people to share those ideas in the first place. Ultimately, it could help move the world forward in ways that the people want.
Following the path we used to develop Community Notes, weโre building in public with a small pilot so that this concept can be shaped by the people. We look forward to learning and iterating with you all as we do with Community Notes every day.

Engineers-turned-PMs keep making the same fatal mistake in stakeholder meetings:
They think logic will save them.
After mentoring a few folks, I've noticed a pattern no one talks about:
Libraries and tools that every deep learning project should use: loguru, tqdm, torchmetrics, einops, python 3.11, black. Optional: prettytable. Good for debugging: lovely_tensors. Any other ones I've missed?
Below a few words on each of them:
It's done. Now itโs your turn, @Oracle.
Weโve submitted a formal petition to cancel the JavaScript trademark: it is generic, Oracle has abandoned it, and Oracle committed fraud on the USPTO during the last trademark renewal.
Oracle has until January 4th to respond, or the case will go into default, which will result in the trademark being canceled.
It's time to #FreeJavaScript.
