The uncomfortable truth is that selective enforcement is a way to deal with homeless people causing trouble and leaving those that are just staying in their corner alone. This will not lead to a quality of life improvement for people in Van

Coming back from Vacouver, I might be cynical but this is symbolic if anything. I work in downtown and got to see junkies shooting up in broad daylight, the cops weren't arresting them for possession, they just walked by like everyone

I really meant giving each kid a therapist is not feasible. You can have a class on how to handle anxiety, I actually had those when I was in high school and it helped.

Cancer is not "just life", you die from it. Not figuratively, you actually die from it. Anxiety is chronic, it's more like headaches or eczema. It still sucks to have it and some people have a very bad case that requires medi

The article is cool but: "£43 ($60) for 90 washes" is roughly in line with puck-style detergent, might even be a bit cheaper so it's not THAT outrageous to me. Not that we should overpay for no reason, but I thought it's

I might be cynical, but the thread seems to come from a place of naivety more than anything. The author was getting preferential access because their reporting was positive for the company. When he decided to become a "real" journ

Just to push that thought a bit further, it's fine if you don't like stranger things but a mashup of 80s ideas is "original" for more than half the US population (median age is 38 y/o). I'm in my twenties, my p

That's debatable, would an "ethics" section on the original deepfake paper have changed anything? ML research isn't as inaccessible as genetics research, if there's something idiotic that people can do with DL, they

These index tells you only that the company was willing to jump through a bunch of hoops to get approved. It's like "Top 100 employers" lists in various countries. It reminds me of the "Tethics" from the Silicon Val

You can find it by Googling around, but you won't find it on chemistry YouTube channels as YouTube cracked down hard on those. Even videos on making precursors to RDX or HMX (which can be used to make C-4) are banned.

Carbon tax only works if everyone agrees which is the actual crux of the issue. If you enforce new legislation to tax carbon-emitting industries in the US, all you are doing is offshoring that manufacturing to some place where the tax does

The comments here seems to be missing the point, yes the article is not technically clickbait, but it also explicitly mentions that while oxybenzone causes bleaching, it is not responsible for THE coral bleaching that we are seeing in most

It's a nice success story, but OpenVINO is notoriously finicky. Quantization works, but there is almost always a degradation in accuracy which does not seem to be benchmarked. There are no free lunches.

Running smaller models on a big GPU does not inherently make them faster, at some point the GPU has a lot of parallel capacity that it simply can't use, and the deep net is ultimately sequential. You can test that by making the model 1

I am not debating the merits of writing your business logic in whatever language that you want. Flux, the Julia framework that we are discussing, is in English. Its classes, function names, optimizers, everything is in English. Keeping para

The programming language is already in English, implying that using greek letters to map to math concepts is easier to understand for non-native is disingenuous.

The author example is using the greek letter "eta" instead of spelling out "learning_rate", this is a pretty damning example.

Yes and no, the example that the author gives is actually a very good one: > Many Julia APIs look like Optimiser(η=...) rather than Optimiser(learning_rate=...). This is a pretty unreadable convention. The learning rate is a well known n

That's a little bit different and not as detrimental though. It's actually an incentive for nurses because they get to work fewer days. Instead of doing 10 8 hours shift every two weeks they'll do 6 12 hours and basically get

by belval 5y ago
To be fair, most industries don't have evening and night shifts and a supply mismatch, most nurses want to work the day shift, it's harder to find candidates for evening and night.
