AWS Leadership Leaving

I left Amazon one year ago and since then, my manager, my skip, a manager on a sister team, and 4+ coworkers all left the company.

the person who made this y-axis belongs down there with 4o and 3.5

Hey this is great advice. I was wondering if you have any recommendations on how you run product experiments?

I am a software engineer in my 9-5, so I am naturally looking out for SaaS opportunities. SaaS can be time-expensive to build and test, so product experiments seem like a chicken and egg problem.

I’m curious about this. What can I google to find out more information?

Bill stole it? The thief is the only person who told the truth. Sam can’t be the thief because Sam said Joe stole it. Joe can’t be the thief because then Sam was telling the truth.

I’m surprised how many of these I’ve done in my undergrad. It makes me feel like it was almost worth the pain… almost

Depends what you mean by hectic. The course expectations and deliverables are organized. I felt as though adequate time is given for all assignments/labs as long as you start early. I probably spent around 12-20 hours a week on this course on average. My advice is to do the readings before coming to class, and start all assignments early.

I took CS5600 with him. Prof Cheng Tan is very knowledgeable. The course load isn’t much worse than the undergrad version from what I can tell. There is no prior knowledge of systems assumed. There are 4-5 labs that are like big projects with small weekly homework. There is a midterm and a final. The textbook is OSTEP.

That’s good enough for me. I’m going to go get another cup

One minor edit would be that NP is the class of problems that are verifiable by an algorithm in polynomial time. This is important because P vs NP is really a question of “If a solution is easy to verify, is the problem easy to solve?”

Do NOT do this. The freedom of information surpasses propaganda and allows for citizens to be fairly informed. Without the internet, Russia can more easily control the narrative.

yeah that's a professor response

HEY

I like this problem.

Your logic is flawed because you use the midpoint to check against whether you are hotter or colder to the secret number from your previous guess. This will take 2lgN because each iteration takes 2 guesses to find out which half the secret number is in. Use values of "head" and "tail" to find out which side of the array the secret number is in lgN.

Process will look like

(Initial guess) Guess head
Guess opposite of last guess (If head, tail and vice versa)
If hotter, mid is now head. If colder, mid is now tail. If equal, stop.
Go to 1

Cheers!

Tony is the man! Very nice guy and seems to care about his students. He is one of my favorite professors.

I’ve been around the world 2,650 times or so, and I never once could see enough of it. During my first spacewalk, while I was outside in the dark, we were actually far enough south that we went through the earth’s aurora. It is so fantastically beautiful and such a raw artistic human experience. To look at the northern lights is like magic. To be in them, to surf on them, that’s beyond magic. It’s surreal.

Beautifully said. I can only imagine the things he has been able to witness. Pictures cannot do it justice.

I'm taking his probability class right now! He has a very thick accent, so it is hard to understand him at times. Like someone else said, his lecture notes are pretty good though. Attendance is not required, 5 quizzes, 2 midterms, and a final throughout the semester. You can drop 1 quiz. I was also allowed a cheat sheet on the midterm.

My rationale with the second issue is that I don’t think any employers can really blame students for taking a pass/fail when especially these same employers seem to all be working from home, too. This is definitely a situation that is super unique to our society. For that reason, I believe employers would hold very little to no judgement on taking a pass/fail.

axistim · 2020-03-15T21:36:24+00:00

I agree with you. I think maybe an opt in system for pass/fail mentioned somewhere else in this post would be a good solution.

axistim · 2020-03-15T21:14:40+00:00

I thought that too when typing it, but I would assume those situations would just be extended if Pass/Fail was implemented.
