Downloading an installing Anaconda is pretty much painless and gives you more flexibility (and better responsiveness) than collab.

Also depends on the complexity of the algorithm (specifically thinking of large neural networks). We have a model that requires 8 A100s for training due to the size of the activations. No way to replicate that on a local machine and have it

As someone who has used both, I whole-heartedly believe that anyone who would put some marginal financial benefits of a CU over the ease of use, consistency and convenience of a big corporate bank is insane. So it appears we’re at an impass

Any sane company does not want to be related to an organization where grooming, sex trafficking and rape are encouraged and practiced, I would think. That seems like more than enough reason to me.

I am no expert just a curious outsider, so take this with a large grain of salt, but it is my understanding that that’s one of the most pernicious misconceptions even in practicing psychologists, but that the current high quality research s

Proof of work to rank pages? That sounds like the worst idea I’ve ever heard. I’m no fan of Google injecting ads into the top spots of their results but at least you can get to the “real” results by just scrolling down. With this paradigm,

The link is right in the article: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml... It shows the history of the bill including votes. Each state does this differently, as well as the federal government. A

I don’t think the general public sees entrepreneurs as inherently rational, but many entrepreneurs, especially Silicon Valley types, certainly think that of themselves. Edit: typo

Unless I missed something, it’s completely self reported and only following people working in healthcare. This is not a very convincing result.

Honestly, what a terrible letter. Did not once say the words layoff or let go. Using phrases like “continue to be part of klarna’s journey”. Good lord, is this a business or a cult? And not a single line about concrete steps they will take

Im an outsider to data center operations, but I work in machine learning. My suspicion is that this will be driven by either the next-Gen or next-to-next-Gen GPUs/AI accelerators. It’s the curse of the field that no matter how fast the

On the contrary, I believe MacBooks have continued to eat general market share since they switched to Apple Silicon, and they are by far the best built UNIX-based laptop you can get, and have by far the best battery life. There’s a reason s

This is targeting AMD GPUs and M1 GPUs currently not targeting the integrated Intel GPUs present in Intel machines. However if you have a 16 inch Intel MBP, or a Mac Pro, etc, this should work with your AMD GPUs. That support isn’t in the n

I think there’s two parts to this. The first is that there’s a minimum number of parameters required to do an arbitrary task. For any sufficiently complex task (image recognition, large language models, etc), it’s not clear how to find that

It explicitly says in the article that the reason they capped it at ~1B parameters is because that’s the current limit of what they can achieve and hit their latency requirements? It has nothing to do with not being interested in scaling it

Cool trucks, but if one of the concerns is weight, I can’t imagine a BEV truck with any decent range is gonna have appreciably better weight/axle. But perhaps I’m overestimating how much battery they’d need.

That sounds to me more like a team failing to adjust to a good WFH setup than anything intrinsic to the difference between WFH/office work. To be clear I’m not in an engineering role, I’m more of an applied scientist, but I started my

1) Unfortunately yes, I have seen some of that. I mean both the companies and the sideline quarterbacks. 2) Of course, but I’d hope most companies would be smart enough to be paying for productive output, not for bodily location. 3) Agreed.

I get people who want to work from home. I get people who want to work from the office. I get people who want to do hybrid. The one group of people I don’t get are the ones who suggest people should be forced to work from the office, and no

It’s kind of crazy to think that Alex-net was just ~10 years ago, and look at what DALL-E can do now. I can’t imagine what the ML landscape is going to look like in another 10-20 years. Excited to be working in the field to experience it al

The statement about particle colliders is not really correct. The relativistic heavy ion collider, where I used to work, is about 2.4 miles in circumference, and reaches temperatures in the 10s of trillions of degrees in its collisions. Thi

A lab is a place to experiment. The person conducting an experiment does not need to be pushing the envelope of human knowledge to enjoy and benefit from the process.

I work in nuclear physics and no one of our experiments could be designed by a single person. They’re far too large and complicated, and even relatively simple sub-parts are multi-year, multi-million dollar undertakings. Furthermore, even t

That sounds like a dystopian nightmare. What happens when someone gets your private key and transfers the title to themselves? Do you need to move out of your home/apartment because the blockchain says they own it? Or does the blockcha

Agreed. I think it’s far more likely that the lifestyle differences between more and less attractive individuals is causing increased exposure. Not to mention they performed a LOT of tests without correcting for multiple comparisons (as far

While I think this is probably the right decision (I’m no constitutional scholar or lawyer though, to be fair), it does bring up the question of why boards and C-suites are still pretty homogeneous, when most research supports the idea that

I guess it depends on how it’s handled. If their success rate is as poor as windows updates then obviously I wouldn’t touch them with a ten foot pole for anything critical. But if the updates go as smoothly as iOS (or windows defender&#x2F
