This new trend of hiring PMs straight out of college seems like insanity to me


Oh this trend. I sit next to a recruiter at a large company that literally vets college grads all day for PM and scrum master positions. Like people with zero experience dealing with deadlines, requirements, resource management, time management, release cycle experience.

Oh, and I’ll just leave off ‘software development’ experience from that list too, since they also all come from non coding backgrounds.

What’s the rationale behind this one, anyone got anything? I’m stumped.

There's https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/027836491985942.... I think Aaron Ames' group is working on theoretical guarantees of neural net policies as well.


What papers are you talking about? Can you please link to them? I don't see anything about neural networks in the papers about this experiment.


>A fun question: how does the universe change if the mass isn’t a scalar, but rather is a matrix, and so a = m-1F is the acceleration? What would this world look like? Is it plausible?

m is only a scalar for particles though? For a general rigid body mass is a matrix. Unless they specifically mean for translational degrees of freedom, in which case I think that would probably break symmetry

A maximum lifting capacity of 40 lbs is far from human-level performance.
