We’re hiring a Founding Research Engineer (AI) to help launch this team.

Years later, still puzzling over Thomas Jefferson's passivity at Philadelphia, John Adams would claim that "during the whole time I sat with him in Congress, I never heard him utter three sentence together"
Jefferson, himself would one day advise a grandson, "when I hear another express an opinion which is not mine, I say to myself, he has a right to his opinion, as I to mine." And "Why should I question it. His error does me no injury, and shall I become a Don Quixote, to bring all men by force of argument to one opinion?... Be a listener only, keep within yourself, and endeavor to establish with yourself the habit of silence, especially in politics."
in netherlands, for example, they (Goog) has to negotiate w/ the local-employee-backed Works Council. If they didn't bother setting one up, like Meta NL failed to, it will take about 3 months to do that. Then another 1-2 months for negotiations w/ the council. Then if they come to an agreement (they don't have to) w/ the redundancies and severance the affected can _then_ be notified.
for example, technically the meta layoffs back in November have not even happened here in NL and the affected won't even know until at least March-April!!
There are many empirical studies which show for feature hashing, a few collisions don't have a sig impact on perf (https://youtu.be/ARjNMdCzN-Q?t=599).
However, for some archs, the impact is catastrophic. Eg matrix factorization. Any collision leads to an incorrect item. Zero Collision Hashing addresses the problem of mapping collisions. One technique is to introduce state into the hashing fn using the current id assignments.
real time publishing protocol:
* minute-level weight syncing
* delta pushes only
* ignore machine failures and rely on (possibly stale) full snapshot loading to bootstrap the new hosts
