I used LXC to virtualize Mastodon instances for a while. It works as intended. The illusion was that there were separate kernels all on the same machine.

It takes a long time to get truly skilled in something. What we call an expert is really what a reasonably intelligent person can be expected to learn about a single topic within a lifetime. The gains in one area compound on themself. Given

Being a generalist certainly makes cocktail parties more interesting. Being a little good at everything makes you more employable as well, you don't get locked into 1 niche. The T-shaped person is the ideal. You should be great at 1 th

Hello Jeremy, yes it was. I wrongly assumed the YouTube URL shortened included the time stamp. I thought it was quite interesting given most employers would not accept such an arrangement explicitly.

This is like asking a philosopher what the meaning of life is. There's a lot to learn, a lot of variables, a lot unknown, and a lot to discover. You can't go wrong with "Practical Deep Learning for Coders". https:/

"Stalingrad" is a horrifying documentary about the battle. It's recounted by the German and Soviet soldiers who took part. The takeaway was that given the right incentives human mass depravity is bottomless. Edit: https:&#x2

“Deep Learning for Coders with Fastai and PyTorch: AI Applications Without a PhD” will allow you to design and implement deep learning models with only good programming skill. Basic maths, no algorithms, no proofs. Howard’s paper on ULMFiT

The only math text that has made me laugh out loud, it’s really that funny. You get more of a feeling of sitting down with the authors in office hours than being emailed a list of theorems for homework. The effect is wonderfully motivating.

Like everything that can be run on a computer, it is eventually abstracted. Once it is abstracted it can become commodified. Once it is commodified it is effectively irrelevant how it is run on the computer!

Data scientists have the right approach here. Crop the outliers, use the mode for sparse data, make an embedding of categorical variables. In short, just pretend like the data is normalized because that makes for a more accurate model of re

Coltrane's influence reaches as far as the underground "bass music" sound of the 2010s as invented by her nephew Flying Lotus, and now the Top 40 is frequented by her ashram protege Doja Cat. Flying Lotus opened his Essential

I found this to be the best introduction because it shows how every function of the money markets is a direct patch for a previous catastrophe. It balances the Wall Street view with the Ivy League view, and shows what happens when they butt

I’m also banned for life: I can’t login without my old phone number, and I can’t update my old phone number without logging in. Guess that makes me more of a hotel person now.

The optimistic view of this is that you can run a node in a distributed payment and compute platform for a few thousands bucks. Consider the alternatives: the infrastructure running PayPal, the massive and archaic automated clearing house s

It's bad PR to have a review bomb on a show with a billion dollar budget. A review bomb also discourages people looking for something new to watch. Amazon is in the unique position of having a near monopoly on quantifiable reviews with

This seems to be the intended effect of the Presidency and the Supreme Court in the United States. Congress hastily shoehorns a bill to vote, the President has a chance to veto it. If a truly unworthy law makes it so far as to be executed i
