Hi,
I think it’s Friday again and DSB is on its way, a bit too late I admit. Try to play the mini game from Graphs and Visualizations or read a long article why we partly failed in modelling of covid-19 in Analytical. But also learn more about data engineering, you gonna need it in near future as you can learn in the first article in Business and Career.
As always, enjoy your reading.
Analytical
https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-hard-lessons-of-modeling-the-coronavirus-pandemic-20210128/ – Long, like really long reading why it’s been so difficult to model covid-19.
https://ai.googleblog.com/2020/12/privacy-considerations-in-large.html – Large generative language models like GPT-2 are vulnerable to multiple types of attacks. Especially in terms of privacy of training data, when it’s possible to extract pieces of the data. (rcmd by reader)

Business and Career
https://www.mihaileric.com/posts/we-need-data-engineers-not-data-scientists/ – It’s true, we really need more data engineers or at least more data scientists with engineering skills. That’s the real bottleneck.
