I've been looking at microceph, but the requirement to run 3 OSDs on loopback files plus this comment from the docs gives me pause: `Be wary that an OSD, whether based on a physical device or a file, is resource intensive.` Can anyone

How do you do, fellow TrOCR fine-tuner? I'm using TrOCR because it's a smaller model that I can fine tune on a consumer card, but the age of the model and resources certainly make it a challenge. The official notebook for fine tu

Good callout that it's no longer free. However, you still get extra CPU, and assuming your execution environment isn't reloaded, that init time is amortized across all the invocations for the execution environment. SnapStart is m

Something not mentioned in this article is that which x86_64 and arm64 implementation you get are both relatively frozen in time. I haven't checked recently, but the last time I did, the arm64 implementation was stuck at something lik

This is a well known issue, and the fix is not to create any boto3 clients at runtime. Instead, ensure they're created globally (even if you throw them away) as the work then gets done once during the init period. The init period get

Isn't that a bit like Kodak knowing that digital cameras were a thing but not wanting to jeopardize their film business?

There are like half a dozen semiconductor manufacturers in Phoenix that were here before TSMC arrived. There's a robust pipeline from ASU to these same manufacturers. Can we please just stop with the nonsensical notion that "Ame

My current employer publishes "staleness" metrics at the project level. It's imperfect because it weights all the dependencies the same, but it's better than nothing.

When most people think of insulin, they think it's the same medication isolated over 100 years ago and it's just big Pharma sticking it to people by charging anything more than a couple of bucks. There are side effects and downsi

If you use the AWS console, it's a tick box to include this.

MIPS CPUs were showing up in consumer networking gear for quite some time. I was a little bit sad that I couldn't run Irix on one of my last routers given that it had a faster CPU and more memory than any Indy I ever owned.

That, and it's been developed in fits and starts. There was like a year where the primary (and AFAICT only) developer lost access to the domain name he was using. I had this installed on an old X220 running Fedora and it was fun, but

Microsoft already had an example of how to do this in a reasonable fashion. Not only that, but the original developer was an ARM licensee. And then finally, during that era Windows was still being developed for multiple architectures. ht

From the beginning Adam was intended to be an interim AWS CEO: They didn't have someone who was ready immediately, so Adam was the bridge. Unfortunately, Adam was the bridge to Matt Garman :(

Cash comp at Amazon is extremely limited, with at least half of your comp coming from RSUs (or cash equivalent during the first year). So if Amazon is wildly successful, you do get a huge benefit out of it (my grants resulted in a salary t

The rate that employers pay for unemployment insurance is tied to the number of claims. While they wouldn't dispute in bulk for layoffs, it is worth the hassle when it's for cause.

My college roommate was stationed there from about 1997 to 2001 and I was lucky enough to get a tour as a civilian. They took us into the VIP room that overlooks the room shown in most of the pictures and then they ran through an exercise.

Knowing about the duck curve and taking advantage of the essentially zero marginal cost of solar, can't most folks just crank down their AC temps at 11 or noon such that there's no end-of-day demand ramp? I know folks in Phoenix w

When we update Torch versions, we're required to run a test where the only change is the library change and compare the outputs. We saw a measurable improvement in accuracy by upgrading from torch 2.4.x to 2.7.x.

Not to defend PIP, but it is applied at a scale greater than a team, and that below a certain size an org is immune to stack ranking requirements.

Something that's in my personal backlog is fine-tuning of TrOCR for purse seine observer workbooks. The default TrOCR is expecting English words, and so the FAO species codes used in the workbook result in terrible accuracy. LLMs do

There are a bunch of California-only compliance cars that were essentially given away that would depress the values in the sector. I considered picking up a used Fiat 500e, but even though it was electric, FCA still managed to mess it up a

100k is a regulatory minimum. E.g. Toyota had to certify the original Prius traction batteries for 100k because they were considered part of the emissions control system.
