Isn‘t git submodules a much more lean way at accomplishing this than a clunky 500gb repo?

Even this "I hate investing time in proprietary technologies, because I know I can be stopped or locked out" is a hard-gained insight. Hackintosh is one of those things that made me understand this. Nothing like spending weeks to

I’ve been using Github copilot daily for two years and ChatGPT for 1 year now. And I think the tide lifts all the boats. I’ve seen a (perceived) 2-3x productivity increase. I think these tools slightly favor people in front of the learning

Yeah I was wondering the same! I fondly remember coding swift almost 10 years ago but large part of it was the good integration with Xcode I believe. Seems like they have an OSS LSP so probably that experience translates to other IDEs nowad

Interesting thought experiment! How would they best take advantage of the weights and what would be signs/actions that we could observe that signal it is likely they have the weights?

I wish Symbloics.jl ‘s rewriting/simplification rules were as good as SymPy’s/Matlab’s. The composability of the Julia ecosystem would be really great for symbolic math

You’re enumerating all kinds of failure cases and how the most important thing about the product is how fast/easy to rectify them but you should really consider the probability times the effort (plus some risk penalty for increased ris

Also driving to the store (plus keeping excess stock of everything) to buy something must be much worse than just shipping it in a minimal box.

That’s my mental model as well. The incompressible fluid-based explanations never made much sense to me

What do you mean by non-deterministic hardware? cuBLAS on a laptop GPU was deterministic when I tried it last iirc

It will probably look like a keyboard. Keyboards are so lindy at this point they didn’t even adjust the layout (from that path-dependent mess we are dealing with), let alone the form factor

I was wondering if it is possible to formalise this and cast it into a book or lecture so that new devs don‘t have to grind out ten years of hard-gained experience. But at this point I think the only real way to really learn this is to go e

Author here. We did not pre-programm basic control or feedback parameters. The trained policy (fully connected neural network) takes the state estimate (position, orientation, linear and angular velocity) and a history of the previous actio

Author of the referenced work here. I have to disagree with this, at least with the motion tracking system part. The optical flow deck [1] works like magic and can maintain low drift positioning even when doing relatively fast and agile man

What they are highly optimized for is mixed-precision GEMM (like all other accelerator manufacturers). What distinguishes Nvidia for now (imo) is that CUDA cores are also quite good at normal code (with control flow etc). I used to think th

IIRC about 40% of us politicians are lawyers, unfortunately I’m sure they will find a way to gatekeep these revenue streams for their peers.

Do the sims include functioning VOR instruments these days? That would be quite helpful during the night :D

Why is that in turn? I’ve heard people refer to low vitamin D levels but I’m sceptic if that is the reason (would be so easy to fix)

Anyone confused about the horizontal axis’ tick labels? Usually the range befor e.g. “5” is 4-5. But here it would be 2003-2004 in case of “2005”. I never consciously thought about this but is this way of indexing the standard?

This sounds like motivated reasoning to me. Having an above-average personal tutor that doesn't get mad or tired 24/7 every time seems like a big multiplier

You raise a very good point. If you join a company with the goal of retiring in the same company after a a 40-year career, the incentives are much better aligned than with contractors. Maybe the demise of the 40-year career in modern compan

Why don‘t they scale up? They seem to have all the regulatory capabilities to get a commercial jet on the market already. I also never understood why e.g. China doesnm‘t just buy Embraer (or take over all their employees) and builds out fro

FTC should consider splitting the commercial and military branches of Boeing. The military part is hopelessly entangled in lobbyism etc. but the commercial branch should be as removed from the gov as possible
