The masters is kinda redundant, the work experience as a data scientist would be worth more

2020-01-02 22:08:57 UTC  

ok i see your point

2020-01-02 22:08:59 UTC  

than 1-2 years doing a masters in something you're already great at

2020-01-02 22:09:14 UTC  

yeah math master's degree aren't that common. it's more common to do math undergrad and then a masters in something more commercially viable

2020-01-02 22:09:18 UTC  

Yea

2020-01-02 22:09:21 UTC  

exactly

2020-01-02 22:09:22 UTC  

That as well

2020-01-02 22:09:40 UTC  

A lot of people do a bachelors in maths to show hey, I'm fucking good with numbers

2020-01-02 22:09:54 UTC  

And that will take them in software, engineering, physics

2020-01-02 22:09:56 UTC  

architecture

finance

2020-01-02 22:10:00 UTC

2020-01-02 22:10:02 UTC  

Yea finance

Asking from PHD/Masters from the worlds best Uni's as well? lmao i hope he's preparing to offer them starting of 500k

2020-01-02 22:10:47 UTC  

most of the people i know with graduate degrees in math are....math teachers

2020-01-02 22:11:01 UTC  

even then the investment banks will gobble them all up

2020-01-02 22:11:06 UTC  

Ya

2020-01-02 22:11:43 UTC  

I will say that making a post like that though is a step in the right direction

2020-01-02 22:12:09 UTC  

As someone who studied history, I will say we need less people who studied history in positions like chancellor of the exchequer and shit

2020-01-02 22:12:16 UTC  

Or least people who reskilled

2020-01-02 22:12:22 UTC  

at least* and have evidence of reskilling

2020-01-02 22:12:55 UTC  

he's talking about paradigm shifts in the whole structure of it

2020-01-02 22:13:06 UTC  

there's a longer blogpost that goes into more detail

2020-01-02 22:13:23 UTC  

"If you want to figure out what characters around Putin might do, or how international criminal gangs might exploit holes in our border security, you don’t want more Oxbridge English graduates who chat about Lacan at dinner parties with TV producers and spread fake news about fake news"

2020-01-02 22:13:38 UTC  

fucking dead on

``Here is a panoramic photo of the unified control centre for the Large Hadron Collider – the biggest of ‘big data’ projects. Notice details like how they have removed all pillars so nothing interrupts visual communication between teams.``

``Now contrast these rooms with rooms from politics.

Here is the Cabinet room. I have been in this room. There are effectively no tools. In the 19th Century at least Lord Salisbury used the fireplace as a tool. He would walk around the table, gather sensitive papers, and burn them at the end of meetings. The fire is now blocked. The only other tool, the clock, did not work when I was last there. Over a century, the physical space in which politicians make decisions affecting potentially billions of lives has deteriorated.

British Cabinet room practically as it was July 1914``

wired.co.uk said Cummings is running No. 10 like a tech startup

2020-01-02 22:20:01 UTC  

Cummings is bridging the world of strategic AI / technology with that of government so as to allow them to make better decisions. I naively thought government was already making use of machine learning but it seems not

2020-01-02 22:20:34 UTC  

Looks like the EMPIRE is back and ready bois

2020-01-02 22:20:38 UTC
