Yes, DOE is very interested in DL. I don't work on this personally, but you can see an example e.g. here [1, 2]. You can see in the first link they're using Keras. I'm not up to date on all the details (again, don't work

Reading through the descriptions of each time period, it suddenly struck me that I had no idea Earth had so many mass extinctions. It's a bit mind-blowing that the one that put an end to the dinosaurs was not even the worst (by percent

It's funny that if I navigate to this site with HTTPS-only mode, it redirects to an HTTPS page.

This may not directly answer your question, but the Huberman Lab podcast [1] is done by a Stanford professor and generally includes very high quality summaries of recent research. He also provides actionable suggestions (though sometimes, t

jbq wrote fantastic essay on a similar topic, Dizzying but Invisible Depth [1]. There was also an HN discussion at the time [2]. [1]: The original was posted on Google+ and is, of course, long-since gone. Wayback machine also doesn't

Isn't this all explained by power law effects? There was an HN thread digging up an old Shirky.com article on this not too long ago: https://web.archive.org/web/20060208093032/http://www.shirky... d

The best thing you can do for her is help her find her own motivation. Tech is a remarkably open field, and you can learn basically everything you need on your own---if you're motivated. It doesn't really matter where you start or

And plus, this is raw footage. You could leak it for the lulz, but it's laughable to think you could make any money off of it even if you tried. A vast amount (possibly the majority?) of creative energy goes into the editing/post-

People can and have written image decoders for custom formats in Javascript [1]. This seems like the same thing but for a very domain-specific use case. Worth it? Not sure. But possible? Definitely. [1]: https://bellard.org/

In case it helps you in the future, or for other readers here, let me just add: the symptoms you describe are well past the point where you probably need to see a therapist to make the relationship work. There are things you can do to fix t

It's great to have the two-liner, but can someone explain what these settings actually mean? Edit: Also, if I have a domain that currently does not send email but may in the future, am I hurting my future self by setting any of these?

Really? I think HN has even fewer safeguards against AI-generated content than Google. No offense to dang and co., and I'm sure there's more going on there than I'm aware of. But still, I'm pretty sure it would be trivia

There are some points in the middle, but it's rare. I work on one of these [1]. We've been building the system for over ten years, and are starting to see some truly killer apps being built on top of it [2, 3]. While it has some g

Some of this you may be able to hack around via disabling compiler optimizations. For example, -fno-strict-aliasing will disable optimizations that rely on assuming objects of different types will never alias (an assumption that gets violat

Like the sibling comments have indicated, many apparently sequential computations are actually parallelizable. I'll just add finite automata as another example in this category. On the surface it looks quite sequential (process one inp

Your comment exactly describes my experience. What can we do about it? It feels hard because for any given individual they can say: "the problem is you, not us." We'd need some sort of aggregate data to prove that there'

Thank you! I still use Keybase as my main messenger and would be sad if it went away.

I'm not sure what you're saying. AWS literally has a free tier. They're playing the same game as Gitlab, and part of that is paying for potential customers to get access to a baseline level of service to grow their experience

It depends on whether that cost is higher or lower than the value you get from paying customers (plus goodwill)---i.e., it's a customer acquisition cost. And whether this particular method of customer acquisition is more or less cost-e

First off, I'm really grateful for the service Gitlab has provided to date, both to the open source community and to Git users at large. Having said that, I think they're killing the golden goose. At one point, Gitlab's compe
