Computer Engineering PhD here. I’m seriously considering transitioning out of my program because I’ve reached a point where I’m just writing tons of code on a graduate student stipend and quite frankly, it seems doors are opening to me whic

Very true on the note of supply. My only counterpoint is that all of Nvidia's products have been supply-constrained, their Jetson line included. The Jetson Xavier NX has a 10 week lead time on Mouser. So it seems that if you're in

The idea of setting up my own cluster seems really cool, but it always seems that I'm paying more money for less compute vs. just buying a single more powerful computer. I suppose this is worth it for people who'd like to physical

This seems like a super interesting effort. I for one, am a huge fan of having a centralized resource where I could access and query sheet music and download MIDI files associated with pieces. - Is there going to be any interest in music th

I can testify to JetBrains products, they're quite good. I haven't used CLion in a few years because I don't like depending on a dev tooling that costs money. I use VSCode because I hop between Python, Bash, Go, C, and C++. T

As a Spotify user, I get the sense that there's less interest these days in refining the music discovery experience at Spotify. Hopefully someone can prove me wrong. The only feature I've used in recent years has been the "Bl

This looks like a fantastic resource. Thanks for sharing! I really enjoy the Bayesian side of ML, but it's definitely not the most accessible. Erik Bernhardsson cites latent dirichlet allocation as a big inspiration behind the music re

Some time ago, someone posted a link walking through writing their own H261 encoder. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the post again, but it helped a ignite a huge interest in media codecs. These are some good notes I found w

I'm thinking that I can use the server as a high bandwidth cache for large files; I'd schedule uploads overnight to the server and then make them available to myself + others who have asymmetric connections. A lot of what I'm

I wouldn't be surprised if the drama surrounding the DMCA takedown issued on the main git repository scared away a lot of contributors. Here's some coverage from the EFF, in case you missed it: https://www.eff.org/

Spitballing a wild hypothetical that is probably wrong, but was inspired by what you said so I thought I'd share: I wonder if the arrival of the 3D revolution was just a little too early for computer nerds to embrace an open source eco

The official PyPI packkages are hosted on Fastly. I believe they donate the infrastructure costs through the Python Software Foundation, as the bandwidth is over 300TB a day, and would cost about 1.8 million dollars a month. Source: https:

I empathize with your situation, in the sense that it is quite frustrating paying for a service that didn't fulfill its end of the bargain. Perhaps there should be more legislation focusing on the terms of ISAs. Until a few years ago,

If we assume that DDG agreed to the Bing Search API TOU as presented in my source, then they'd be the "you" in the "you may not" in my quoted portion, no?
