My top 3 traits as an engineer:
Laziness: I automate/script all repetitive tasks.
Forgetfulness: I document meticulously to avoid getting lost in the future.
Sloppiness: I test rigorously to catch careless mistakes.
First post in ages, but wanted to break the silence with something good.
Last summer I left Google to bet on something big. A tiny seed-stage startup that is completely rethinking the way we map the Earth's subsurface, and we just closed our Series A.
Terra is applying frontier AI that's physically grounded in real-world constraints to one of the largest economic opportunities on the planet: finding and optimizing the extraction of the critical minerals and energy resources the world is racing to secure.
The results speak for themselves. I'm so proud to be a part of this team, and excited for what's to come.
@mirandrom@cloneofsimo so much of MLE in my experience is implementing options A, B, and C in a way that they are all a special case of D, do that you have combinatorially fewer knobs to tune.
@MingyuanZhou@sedielem Thank you for the link! Is this something exclusive to distilled models? I recall this blog post suggesting something to that effect more generally https://t.co/kfhsgmGFBP
@yacineMTB Start sleep training early. We did it around 4-5 months and it was an absolute game changer.
First couple of months are really hard. 6-12 is when they start to gain mobility and develop a personality and it gets a lot more fun.
@GrantSlatton@Gok There's a spectrum of FAANG people, from the money/status chasers to the techie problem solvers. The latter are the ones you wanna hang with outside of work, but they are an endangered species.
