   Another +1 for Hetzner, We have been using their GPUs and at the pricepoint of ~$100 per month, it's unbeatable. AWS/azure are all at least 3x that.

   In situations like these, the overwhelming instinct is: "better safe than sorry". Some of the measures might have been overkill, but better err on the side of caution. I feel we don't yet have a full perspective to draw any

   I have tried to grok it multiple times but escapes my feeble mind. I have developed some intuition, but not sure it's quite right. Hopefully someone can correct me: 1. Subatomic Matter is by default both mass and a wave, but when &quot

   This makes me hopeful for the future, the next decade is likely to be amazing for healthcare research. Hopefully some good comes out of this unfolding tragedy and drives the next generation to critical issues like healthcare & climate c

   This is super-exciting! I didn't know it could be this easy! How do you handle API authentication? Is there a module that interfaces with AWS API gateway? or external API authentication?

   Has anyone used Cortex in production? - Could you share your experiences? - why would one choose this over docker for instance?

    Actually yes. The virus that caused the 1918 "Spanish flu" is now one of the seasonal flu viruses that afflict us every year.

    It's a dangerous experiment with human life, and while one can only say "time will tell", let's hope this doesn't turn into a plague-like catastrophe. But the pay-off - in case it works - would perhaps be Sweden&#x2

    This is a false dichotomy, to put it mildly. Bill Gates singlehandedly did more to eradicate Polio & several other deadly diseases than multiple Governments, WHO, and several development orgs over several decades! This demonization of t

    I would modify the article to say "the next leap in AI is prediction". There is a lot of activity in this space called Predictive Coding. Look up the work of David Cox[1], Karl Friston et al. A fascinating variant is Contrastive P

    Related question: do modern diplomats/negotiators automatically assume their comms are compromised? Are their "secure" lines ever truly secure? Surely they know the NSA/CIA would be listening.

    I couldn't agree more. Bill G. is arguably the greatest philanthropist of our time, perhaps of all time. Not only does he bring his considerable wealth, but the business acumen to make sure the money is effectively spent, and a keen ey

    Great write up, I especially liked the section of Contrastive Predictive Coding, I think that's going to be the next iteration of ML.

    HCI & gestural computing is a very important and active area of research. BTW it's also my field of work. I was taking issue with what I (and quite a few of my colleagues) felt was a demo cobbled together using existing technologie

    Normalizing by the user count should help. My suggestion would be something much simpler ie. to try to compare content itself e.g. top 1000 posts from each subreddit, and estimate (say) cosine sim + Tfidf. Wouldn't that be a better ind

    How does this infer subreddit similarity? For instance, I checked for r/AskHistorians and the results don't seem that relevant. edit: never mind, I just read your GitHub readme. But the question still stands as if "users post

    CSAIL alum here, at the risk of being accused of inter-lab rivalry, I have got to say the Media lab has a reputation of being the "Marketing dept of MIT". A Wired article a while back referred to them as "all icing and no cak

    Makes me wonder how the "Paradox of Choice" works in this situation since the customer is already committed to purchasing. Does this lead to more-than-usual consumption (cf. the usual shying away from purchase in a Choice paradox
