Around 2000 a fully functional BeOS Personal edition was included in a PC Magazine CD. It was fun to try other operating system (I didn't even had to create a partition, something hard to do considering our PC had just 8GB of DD). It w

I asked it some time ago: https://cs.stackexchange.com/questions/147713/why-word-embed... There is other aspect: if all vectors are normalized then cosine distance is just dot product. It is faster to calculate th

Some years ago I wrote a vector index that used LSH. Search was implemented in the most trivial way: scanning everything and comparing using hamming distance (xor and popcount). I was able to scan 200k hashes and find the most similar in le

I remembers me CouchDB + incremental map reduce. Except that in CouchDB you can mutate state. Idk, but keeping all the history doesn't take a lot of space?

It is almost the same with those languages. Malloc and free can be expensive if used wrong, same with allocations in a GC language. In some sense, I would even say that with a good GC is easier to improve the performance, as collection can

No idea, but I remembered when we had to tell people to stop drinking chlorine and they get mad because it was within their "freedom of speech".

Currently which are the minimum system requirements for running these models?

ShardStore? (More info: https://www.thestack.technology/aws-shardstore-s3/ ) it seems that it was deployed years ago.

This can be used for building thousands of models that depends on each other? For example, traffic or weather prediction

It seems that some people embraced the concept of "embrace, extend, extinguish", and now they are extending it too far. Eventually the usage of the phrase will be so diluted that it will become extinguished.

If that is a "simple device", we can add it to computers to help synchronize time? For distributed databases it would be helpful

I don't know of any paper template that includes the date. Usually it is only found if the preprint paper adds it (like arxiv) or in the copyright notice, that not all papers include. With topics like ML and NLP that move fast, even th

That scares me from using things like Firebase or serverless. I'm trusting the who bills me from protecting me from overbilling.

In the other hand, you can post explicit hate speech against homosexuals in Facebook and they will reject your report automatically. I would have expected that FB actually uses all that NLP research...

The joins should be done inside the DB, not in an external server. Any SQL DB should be able to do that.

Windows approach: Print even pages first, ask the user to move the printed pages back to the printer and then print the odd pages later. The result is ready to be read. In Mac you need to print first one side, move the pages manually, print

Only if you have a printer that supports it. Otherwise you have to do it by hand https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/tech/how-to-print-dou...

Recently I bought a MBP and I'm surprised by how hard to use it is. Printing by both sides? Not supported, you must do it by hand. And some apps print the pages in reverse order, so you end up having to sort the pages. Use numberpad .

Well like 13 years ago Nicaragua invaded part of Costa Rica, in part claiming that Google Maps put that land in their territory. https://www.wired.com/2010/11/google-maps-error-blamed-for-n...

I'm more concerned about choosing a batch approach instead of an event based architecture. Jokes aside, it means people on the run can get through it for several hours, right?

I haven't tried other models, but if you prompt a recent ChatGTP with "academic style" and ask it to "review and provide feedback" of a paragraph you wrote it will reword it using the most fancy, overselling words i

I came to say too that 3m is more realistic, from what I did in school. Also, around 1-2m is possible if you jump backwards, but you may end up visiting the hospital as well. At my school the swing was near a clift, so sometimes you were ab

Is there an easy way to use these accelerators from the CLI? Sometimes I have to decompress several TBs of gzip files, but I don't want to rollout my own decompressor in C. I know that Graviton 2 includes a compression accelerator as w

Probably not. See Latin America: most governments recently elected are against environment preservation efforts, and most people seems very happy with their suicidal plans. For example, in Costa Rica the government is reactivating bottom tr

Unrelated with the main topic, but I had years without seeing a website with its own personality. I liked it :)
