So many kids (and adults) already have terrible anxiety when it comes to test taking - and now these companies think that the best way to handle cheating is to have computers monitoring them every moment of an exam? I am glad I am no longer

To elaborate a bit, there are planned to be at least 3 exascale computers running by the end of 2021, that I am aware of (1 in China and 2 in the US), with Frontier at ORNL estimated to provide about 3x the compute power of LUMI. It’s good

As far as Apple devices are concerned, biometric data never leaves the Secure Enclave, so risk of data leak is non-zero, but sufficiently low for everyday life. Compare that to the massive number of people who use password123 as their passw

The physical book is quite expensive - I am personally waiting for an ebook version, either pdf or ePub. I think right now you can only get a DRM’ed version through a service called vitalsource? I will not be supporting a textbook DRM platf

Sorry, I should have put it in my original reply. If you search for where it asks for an implementation of the standard deviation, you'll see that it asks for an implementation including Bessel's correction (using N-1 instead of N

I read two answers from technical.md, and one of them was inconsistent with what was asked for... I would be very suspicious of using this repo for studying.

Well, they can be 40 GB fp32 models technically, but translating a model trained in fp32 to fp16 is not trivial (trust me, we’re working on this right now for a model). But remember that training the model requires a lot more memory than ju

I have the MBP 16 from 2019 with the fixed keyboard, and both the hardware and software is solid. If you like macOS and are ok with the Apple premium, I’d say it’s the best laptop I’ve tried in the last 5 years (Just wish it didn’t have the

Slightly tangential, but has anyone had a chance to use PaddlePaddle? I played around with it for a little bit a few months ago, and found it to be generally a regression in use-ability when compared to Pytorch or Tensorflow V2. I’d be inte

Unless I am not understanding something, this appears to have multiple incorrect statements in it, for instance: > It first identifies the k points in the training data that are closest to the test value and calculates the distance betwe

The families where the parents can work from home are not the concern. The families that are of concern are the ones where parents can not work from home: in service jobs and hospitality, for instance. These are the people with the most to
