I'm not looking to enter the ecosystem, I'm already deep in it and want to fix the AMD problem so that I can build big projects around it and undercut everyone who's using Nvidia. You can purchase H100 and A100 PCIe cards ove

To help fix the ecosystem. It's way more affordable than Nvidia. I'm not looking for entry level hardware.

... and that's why AMD is losing. They could break the trend and offer a "buy now" button instead of offering quotes and coffee chats. It's very likely that will kickstart the software snowball with early adopters. Nobod

Also, can I even buy an AMD GPU? I don't see a "buy now" button or a PCIe version anywhere here https://www.amd.com/en/products/accelerators/instinct/mi300/... Another big AMD fuckup

Yeah exactly. I mean really, I have 15+ years of experience and they're grilling me on a correct implementation of quicksort and are going to fail me for an implementation that doesn't terminate when I had nothing to test it on? I

That works for startups, but most larger companies still won't hire you without an interview, your old collegaues can only refer you to hiring. Very often that's where I screw up. I code computers, not goddamn CoderPads. I run my

Actually you can use the phase information in the encrypted signals to improve RTK stability, without decrypting them.

For personal projects I make heavy use of LLMs now and coding is still fun when I do it with the latest and greatest tools. I'm about 5X as productive as I would be if I had to crank out code myself. I'm used to verifying code wit

I wish there was more humor on arXiv. If I could make a discovery in my own time without using company resources I would absolutely publish it in the most humorous way possible.

Make sure you use HTTPS, or someone could theoretically inject malicious code into your container. If you want to use your own domain you'll have to use CloudFront to wrap S3 though.

BTC is highly volatile but it has a more predictable cyclic behavior than any other investment in the past 3 decades, and for largely mathematical reasons. Even if that cyclic behavior breaks, I think the US economy and foreign policy is so

Oof, no. I'm well aware of the advice and I don't agree with it. I expect GME to crash and burn. I was going to change jobs at some point, in which case my traditional 401K funds will just disappear because they are not vested.

The related thing that bothers me deeply is that import PIL does not make PIL.Image available. What the hell else do you expect me to do with PIL? Why isn't PIL.Image included in importing PIL? You have to explicitly do either

Yeah but what is common in real life is writing multiple parallel libraries for {Python, NodeJS, ...} with a nearly identical API. In this case I would think that if the Python command is `pip install foo`, the NodeJS command should be `n

Current approaches of multi-modal models work on embeddings and tokenizations of images, which is the fundamental problem: you are feeding blurry, non-precise data into the model. Yes, they are blind because of exactly this. An embedding is
