I was skeptical, but upon reading TFA, they do have a point.

I think it’s the other way around: four 8-core processors

I used the reviews. Sometimes a movie would be polarizing and I’d read the good ones and the bad ones to see if I’d like it myself. It’s not a hugely valuable feature (I can do the same on eg Rotten Tomatoes), but it wasn’t unused.

>> If you don't know what the problem was, you haven't fixed it There’s a more pithy variant of this, which I use all the time: “You can’t fix what you don’t understand”.

Sure, but when people live in squalor and die of malnutrition and disease from time to time primates do not even register on the radar of priorities. Worrying about primate populations under these circumstances is an extremely ivory tower p

Africa’s main concern should really be the sustainable welfare of one kind of primate: Homo sapiens. I don’t recall ever seeing a “made in $AFRICAN_COUNTRY” label on anything. Theres a lot of economic potential there, but no one can be both

But you're in indentured servitude either way, except it's debt servitude, and there's no accountability on the part of the college for teaching you anything that's actually useful. Under the proposed setup, the college

I like the idea of withholding tuition from future earnings. That way we can get rid of all the "underwater basketweaving" courses that are so popular today, and focus on the ones that the economy actually needs (as in, is willing

Nor were those gay folks by the baker. He didn’t refuse service because they were gay per se. He refused because they wanted a _gay wedding cake_. Had they ordered a birthday cake, he would have happily made it for them. It’s like if you go

Yes, it’s _obviously_ a figure of speech. Alex Jones is not, nor has he ever been, a leader of armed resistance of any sort. Neither was Milo. They do not _actually_ urge armed resistance. Anyone who argues otherwise is being deliberately o

This is the “Christian Bakery” moment for Twitter et al. You can’t at the same time argue that a bakery must serve people whose politics it doesn’t like (you can find photos of the baker in question with sympathetic gay folks, so he doesn’t

Such desperate moves on Google’s part do not bode well for the numbers in their next quarterly report. They knew there would be strong blowback, yet they chose to do it anyway. That could mean other ads markets are decelerating, which would

I’ve been using plain Arduino and FastLED to drive 300 individually addressable LEDs as a Christmas ornament for the past 3 years. Super simple, and my kid can write his own patterns in C. Nowhere near this level of effort though.

Super inconvenient BTW, and only works because it’s Japan. If it was anywhere else, there’d just be heaps of trash everywhere.

Not in Google’s case. There vCPU == hyperthread. To quote https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/machine-types : "For the n1 series of machine types, a vCPU is implemented as a single hardware hyper-thread&quot

Not in the case of PyTorch. Massively easier to deal with _and_ faster for just about everything.

Multi GPU in PyTorch is usually just a few lines of code. Can’t be any easier. Wrap model in DataParallel and enjoy life. Last time I touched TF, things were pretty gnarly for this frequent use case. Don’t know how it is now.

$4k is not a “large amount”. I buy my own insurance and cheapest plan that covers anything at all is $13k/yr for a family of 3. If that’s all this employer is contributing, the employees are getting shafted.

by h4b4n3r0 8y ago
I’m not disputing that. I’m just saying that for the specific case of jobs with 1 vCPU which are all from different users you can only schedule half the billable capacity.

Re-read what I wrote. Imagine a machine with 8 cores and 16 hyperthreads. Now imagine you need to optimally use the execution ports in each core. To do that you would need to have 16 VM threads all feeding the ports simultaneously, 2 per co
115.
by h4b4n3r0 8y ago
Um, no. If I schedule a micro instance in a particular zone and nothing else, for the duration of my timeslice the VM will have to monopolize the core. Optimal use of vCPUs would demand that two VM threads get scheduled to the core to take

by h4b4n3r0 8y ago
How is the latter possible in case of 1 vCPU VM instances if 1 vCPU == 1 hyperthread? Do they give you a full core in this case?

Seems like a sure-fire way to load up on pesticides. Those berries need to be washed first.

I don’t know how to say this any more plainly: anyone who predicts such things is 100% full of shit. It’s a random process. Anyone able to predict this with a significant degree of certainty would quickly become a multi-trillionaire. Insane
