I was employee #1 at a startup. Right out of the gate our medical was better than Google’s. Having been exposed to the financial side of things, the cost difference between shitty and decent insurance for employees was inconsequential in th

+1. I want a book that walks me through a real, well designed, functional (if you pardon the pun), useful piece of software, end to end. All these FP books are too enamored with language features, instead of showing you how a programmer pro

I haven't looked into it myself, but it could be that due to all this massaging you'd lose more on throughput than you gain on memory use. It's similar to doing 8 bit quantized stuff on general purpose CPUs. It's very ha

Ours was very large. In fact, I'd say, a 2-person do-nothing prime would be a vast improvement over what we had, especially if they did not have any illusions about their own level of competence. To see the situation in the positive li

Been there, done that. I feel much worse about paying my federal taxes now. Federal contractor (to whom we were a subcontractor) spent at least five times what they should have, and very little of it trickled down to us. They also were a “b

IIRC all recent NVIDIA GPUs support fp16, it's just that the perf of fp16 is severely hampered on "consumer" grade hardware, so the memory/perf tradeoff is not viable. I mean, on the one hand I can see why that is: fp16

That also hamstrings the ecosystem.

Whether it's substantially better for deep learning depends on whether they chose to neuter fp16 like they did in all other consumer GPUs. The main bottleneck is not actually the size of the model per se (sizes of the models have been

Narrow benchmarks aren't interesting. Use in large scale production, however, more or less guarantees stuff will eventually work well.

Bing folks, are you running this on Linux? Common problem a few years ago was that perf of the Linux version of Core sucked compared to Windows. The only way to fix that is through serious dogfooding. I’m wondering to what extent Microsoft

Most pro powerlifters injure themselves at one point or another and return to lifting after recovering. It’s usually not the end of the road. That said, I don’t know your situation and you definitely should see a specialist. Maybe you did b

Can confirm, suffered from RSI as well. I think most doctors are unaware of the benefits. If they were, they wouldn’t prescribe the bullshit they’re currently prescribing. I’m not saying this will help everybody, but it’s 100% worth a try b

You need to do compound exercises with a barbell, namely low back squat and deadlift. These target the so called posterior chain, which is all those crucial muscles you don’t see in the mirror. Mindlessly “working out” is not going to targe

5% collateral casualty rate, while regrettable, is very, very low, comparatively speaking. And yes, I was discussing this in context of a purely theoretical invasion of Taiwan. That's the whole point.

No hostility intended. Trump literally doesn't care if someone likes it or not. He promised it, it's happening, end of story.

Yep. I take blood pressure medication. Cost without insurance: $5.70/mo. Cost with insurance: $10 co/pay. I know this because my insurance lapsed once for a month. Same exact pills, same manufacturer even.

What’s there to qualify? You think they’ll worry as much about civilian casualties or use precision weapons?

As the past 60 years of US Military action have made abundantly clear, even for the best military on the planet by quite a margin no war is “easy” to win. Now, granted, China won’t agonize about collateral damage the way we do, but even the

I think one’s self worth is intrinsically linked to acceptance, with or without Facebook, especially in younger people. FB (and others like it) just exploited the weakness.

Sure, but you did not narrow down the audience. People as a whole, it would seem, slightly prefer checkout counter magazines as opposed to NYT. Likewise, I'm not sure bite-sized bullshit regurgitation services like Twitter/Mastodo

I’ve also read that concrete absorbs CO2, in significant enough quantities that an isolated ecosystem experiment had to be aborted because plants weren’t getting enough of it.
