Practically every paper these days in the ArXiV Computer Science group is about machine learning of one form or another. So it's obviously the main up and coming area, along with robotics.Originally posted by NickFitz View Post

warchest? what are a bunch of civvies doing with a warchest?Originally posted by NickFitz View PostBenched!

After two years at ClientCo, which is I think the longest I've ever stayed with one client, I have finally managed to escape
Another five days and I would have hit the 24 month limit on claiming travel expenses, which wouldn't be ideal with a 140-mile daily commute. So I told them a couple of months ago I wouldn't take another extension, and today is Liberation Day.
Time to relax and enjoy the warchest

Congrats. Just passed 24 months at my ClientCo and that's a record for me too. Had enough really.
