I hypothesize there very well could also be differences between "morning people" and "evening/night people". The dosing guides that suggest taking before/after meals could be more specific (E.G. your primary meal), while dosing patterns for regular drugs might be completely different and even benefit from some patients taking stronger/weaker doses (at different times of the day) based on how their body is reacting.

All of this would be much easier with, and the correct contribution of tech would be, integrated continuous telemetry from smart sensors and systems. That data would also be a privacy nightmare and should be something that the patient can read and choose to share or not.

It's basically real world chaos monkeys that are stress testing their systems.

Combined with signal intelligence, those chaos monkeys are actively improving their systems.

Then, as a final bonus, absorbing the DDoS attacks aimed at those chaos monkeys (and their paid tier) provides a lot of globally diverse and distributed inbound traffic to them, favorably offsetting the outbound traffic they're serving from from their network. Improving their position during interconnect negotiations.

There are quite natural synergies that emerge as a product of their particular choices in structuring their business. Which is far more rare of a thing than you'd expect.

I do a fair amount of grammar and spelling searches. Google often displays tips and examples. And typing "sp500" displays a stock chart right in Google itself. Google has a lot of "instant snippets" like that. Quite convenient. However, near-monopolies do make me nervous about supporting them.
Office also has to make sure that things work on the web given they also support all the Office.com O365 versions of their apps. That's another reason they'd prefer React Native (for React Native Web) to Xamarin.

But the Office team is also a right tool for each job group and has both Xamarin and React Native apps and telling the difference between them is getting tougher to do. You can already integrate React Native components inside a Xamarin app and vice versa because they each can look like native components to each other, and it's not entirely an either/or decision.

>they don't have time to brush up on DS and algos

The problem with the whiteboard trivia questions at hand is that they are trivia. They are deliberately obscure, or presented in a trick way. Brushing up on all the data structures and algorithms in the world and how those might be twisted into some 30-minute problem doesn't seem to be an effective use of time.

The fact that you somehow have an incredibly talented pool of friends that can crush any whiteboard interview thrown there way does not really represent most people - given by the fact that whiteboard CS trivia is a common topic, written about (negatively) by a number of talented professionals.

Disclaimer - I'm a VP E at Engineer.ai

We've been very transparent with our investors on where we are in the process of creating this platform both pre-investment and post. They actually responded to the WSJ article:

A spokeswoman for Deepcore said it has complete confidence in Mr. Duggal’s vision and team.

A spokesman for Jungle Ventures said it is a proud investor in Engineer.ai and its technology, adding that “the AI landscape is a varied spectrum.”

A Lakestar spokeswoman said it also has confidence in Engineer.ai and its team, adding that “growth in the AI space does not happen overnight.” It said Engineer.ai had been very careful in presenting its technology to Lakestar and other investors
If your revenue isn't driven by your technology, then you aren't a tech company. If it is, then you are. There's tons of software companies that make money by selling (directly, or by charging licensing, usage fees, etc) for their software.

WeWork isn't selling software, or any other form of technology. They're renting property.
Here's what Cloudflare's CEO wrote on their blog:

"In the two years since the Daily Stormer what we have done to try and solve the Internet’s deeper problem is engage with law enforcement and civil society organizations to try and find solutions. Among other things, that resulted in us cooperating around monitoring potential hate sites on our network and notifying law enforcement when there was content that contained an indication of potential violence. We will continue to work within the legal process to share information when we can to hopefully prevent horrific acts of violence."

Monitoring?? Sounds a lot like surveillance and spying to me. This is why they want to MITM the entire Internet. All encryption becomes useless. Breaking privacy and security just like Facebook. They even co-opted Wireguard recently. If you understand and see where this is going, stay away from them.

I feel like what you and the other replies are saying is WeWork is super trendy and hip whereas Regus feels old-fashioned and stuffy. This feels surprisingly superficial to me.

1. The old fashioned office feel at Regus is not necessarily a bad thing. I’m able to focus much better in a Regus office. And I feel like I’m actually getting what I’m paying for (if I want beer, I’ll go to a supermarket). I’ve never had client meetings in either place, but from what I’ve seen Regus is much more the kind of place I’d want to bring clients to if I wanted to give a good impression. This kind of feels like a parallel to the open office versus cubicle debate. Open offices are undoubtedly trendier and more community driven and just feel cool, but if you want to actually be productive and get work done then open offices are kind of a step backwards.

2. Regardless of what’s better in our differing opinions, the business models are more or less the same, so it feels like Regus could be a useful case study when thinking about WeWork. I still find it confusing how most articles about WeWork imply it’s the first company to do what it’s doing at scale and therefore it’s in uncharted tech startup growth mode territory.
> turn PCs into locked-down devices like the mobile world

I used to wonder, even before iPhone and Android, how far away we were from a world where most “computers” were effectively unconfigurable and unprogrammable, and actual programmable computers like the ones we’re used to became relatively rare “makers tools”. That does seem to be the way things are headed; there may come a point in our lifetimes where almost nobody has a “programmers computer” in their house.

> It’s unfalsifiable unmeasurable woo-woo.

An hypothesis that cannot be falsified does not count as a scientific theory (according to Popper, not everyone agrees). That does not mean that is woo. It just means that it's outside the epistemological limits of science.

Another thing that is unmeasurable is science, and yet most people don't doubt it.

This sounds compelling, and even if I don't want to use Fargate, it will help me to relate with people that have used Fargate, and give us more common ground so we can talk on equal footing.

Did they update their web site? Because as it stands now, it’s clear that they‘re a standard agency connecting developers to people who want work done, with some vague stuff about AI helping to match them.

I think the implication was that the AI player should be a database entity — rather than the system having two concepts of players, such that when an AI player joins, it doesn’t check the DB.

An unregistered player can create a DB entry, but the question is about the system supporting unregistered players joining a game — which seems odd to me too.
Deep learning is not new either. LSTMs are from the 1990s. CNNs are from the 1980's (and note well that most recent successes of deep learning are basically tweaks of these two architectures).

What is new is the hype around deep learning that took off after 2012, and because Google and Facebook decided to champion it.

In any case, as far as I can tell "AI today" is anything that is "AI" and that exists "today". How do you mean "AI today"?

>> I purposely conflated AI with "deep learning" because it is the source of the hype.

I don't understand why you would do that. You are aware that there is hype and that it is increased by misuse of the term AI. And you purposefully misuse the term AI in a way that increases the hype? Why?
I really like Vernor Vinge's fiction, and he's got some really big ideas, but sometimes in contexts like these I'm surprised by how shallow and provincial the thinking is. He seems unable to step out the present western 20th/21st century worldview.

The singularity (if it comes) should feature intelligences whose modes and motivations are so superior and advanced, they are literally incomprehensible to us. Questions like "Will the machines allow humans to live?" are ill-posed. As human philosophers can't agree on the meaning or the existence of free will, will the machines? Will they have will, free or otherwise? Or is free will itself the mere shadow on the wall of the a richer thing that we can't truly, ever comprehend? So talking about what the machines/intelligences 'want' is getting ahead of ourselves.

Yes-we have procured between customers. Most negotiations are rational (ie: the license count is growing, so it is reasonable to improve the price per license). However, there are also times when mutual customers have issues, are looking to churn, or downsell. In those scenarios, we play match-maker to the customer success Director or VP. That way, they can get involved early, in order to hopefully save the relationship.

I could see the advantage of these in swamplands or the 'bushes' if you will (places like remote parts of Africa, South East Asia, parts of the Southern United States, Alaska, come to mind).

But the practical use case I can't seem to envision yet. However, if the goal is to be able to fly these things like helicopters but get some sort of massive fuel advantage out of it, I could see them being used for certain types of deliveries if they can hold a substantial amount of cargo via an attachment or something.

Sorry if I'm missing something obvious but it's not very clear to me how the first part significantly benefits from AI. Code re-use is just good software engineer practice, are you somehow able to figure out what libraries to use automatically? Isn't this trivial to perform by a human anyway?

The latter part, as far as figuring out what work to assign and estimating time-frames does seem like a legitimate AI use case though.
You must be talking about someone else, then, since I'm certainly not suggesting otherwise.
>But we don't call, say, banks tech companies. A huge portion of their business requires sophisticated technical infrastructure they create themselves, but we just call them banks.

I understand your criteria for classification but I'll attempt to explain why others think of Uber as a "tech company".

Others' viewpoint: Yes, virtually every company uses technology but not every company is birthed by technology:

- the Uber founders (Travis K and Garrett C) were software programmers, not taxicab owners.

- the product they worked on was a smartphone app instead of buying a car with a taxi medallion and driving around for fares.

- the type of investors that funded them (e.g. Benchmark Capital) were VCs that specialize in the tech sector.

- the type of companies Uber has acquired[1] so far are tech focused (e.g. machine learning, geospatial, etc).

Yes, 100-year-old banks always have ongoing modernization with evolving technology (e.g. Citi and Chase have developed smartphone apps) but Uber's birth was programmers playing around with smartphones.

Another example of the perception difference is eBay vs Sotheby's/Christie's. eBay is typically called a "tech company" but Sotheby's/Christie's are called "auction houses". If eBay brings together buyers & sellers in a marketplace... and Sotheby's/Christie's also has an auctions marketplace... why is "tech company" more often attached to eBay rather than Sotheby's/Christie's? (Both Sotheyby's & Christie's have websites for users to place bids so they develop technology as well.) Probably because eBay was born on the internet by a software programmer named Pierre Omidyar.

I'm not saying you have to agree with all that but just trying to explain the "hidden taxonomy" that some of the others (including the news media) use to label certain companies as "tech company".

It can't be that hard if you have some credibility you are willing to sacrifice. If this report turns out to be complete BS, they still could have made over 10% return in a single day by the way the market reacted today.
I agree, I have yet to see hard data on this but academic research tends to shed light on things long after the fact... while a big part of making money is about what is happening right now. Anecdotally I've seen (and you probably have too) that I can buy many of the items I need for daily life for dirt cheap online, and when I need labor for my company I can hire nationally/globally on sites like upwork for a fraction of what local talent would cost. Both have low transaction costs and because of ratings I waste much less time and money buying the wrong thing or hiring the wrong person... which is an aspect of inflation.

That final point is probably worth study. My thesis would be that when the economy is hot everyone is in a hurry and more likely to hire people/vendors and buy things that aren't ideal. Online rating systems tend to direct demand to the vendors who can successfully satisfy that demand. The web also makes discovery of new vendors and products very quick lowering the switching costs.

"Fake it til you make it" should not extend as far as lying to your investors.

If "fake" for this company meant that they told customers there was AI and there wasn't, no big deal. Customers agree to a service at a certain price. Why do they care how the company accomplishes it?

Investors, however, do care about whether cost-saving "AI" works today vs. in 2045.
