I'm thankful for Bitcoin, because otherwise I'd probably be working in machine learning (which I find unsatisfying because it's relatively undetermined).
I'm also thankful for information and all the ways we've managed to store and share it. I'd be so bored otherwise.

Also, I'm thankful I just found the huge memory leak that's been plaguing SN for a year. What a relief.

What was it??

A server side graphql cache that wasn’t getting cleared. Obvious in retrospect but I thought the object was being deleted when it wasn’t.

What kind of work have you done using ML?
reply
Not much tbh, but it's what I went to college intent on studying. Then I had a bad AI prof, decided AI was relatively permissioned (need access to lots of data), got a job doing distributed systems, and sort of lost touch with the goal.
Then in 2016 when I was ready to course correct, it was ML or Bitcoin. I didn't end up working on Bitcoin stuff until last year though.

Ever thought about the intersection of both topics?
