When I click through I only see a 4MB zip file. Where is the dataset? It's great to have this kind of data available. So much computer vision research is done with a small number of datasets, e.g. imagenet, and there are lots of gaps t

WSL2 has quirks that make it not the same as running linux natively. For some workflows this may not matter but I have seen it evaluated for some use cases where not everything worked. Also, windows is, for lack of a better word, obnoxious,

I was linux only until last year when someone convinced me to try a Mac. I have been very happy with it: it's way less intrusive than what I had pictured (I think prejudice against commercial OSes from my windows days). Memory and CPU

There is another comment in the thread where someone suggests that maybe its time we do away with april fools. Personally, I think most of the jokes are dumb (and honestly mostly closer to the kind of inoffensive-to-all anodyne crap that ca

I'd concede that it's not cool, if true, that banks and tech companies have so much power over people that a fake invoice someone knows they aren't responsible for makes them afraid for their survival.

Haha, I guess I'm a minority. Other commenters thought it was "morally reprehensible", "fraud", and are "livid". I'll try to do a better job of seeing how evil those around me really are.

I think most agree it was a bad joke - there is no 'absurdity' to it. Even when you find out it is fake, it's not really funny, it's more like "oh, why did you do that". That said, I'm amazed how angry com

I'm curious about the co-CEO thing. That seems like it is universally something that doesn't work and is just what happens when nobody wants to make a tough decision. Is there any context on why it might be the right move here?

We had an Apple IIe, but our first x86 was a 386 with 2MB ram and a 25MHz processor. I think the HDD was 40 MB.

There is definitely some validity, even if it just boils down to "understand how your ML models make there decisions and make sure you're cool with that". I think the challenge is that a lot of the "ethical ai" agen

This whole thing has transcended any kind of logic, and there does not seem to be a rational way to discuss the tradeoffs with people. I think this is just the first "crisis" - actually the mildest thing that could happen and stil

I can't believe people are accepting it in canada either. I'm hoping that people will start to push back more as restrictions move from temporary to systematic, but so far I see very little evidence of this. Possibly just because

I think that's part of the point. Initially I couldn't understand why ostensibly right wing premiers in Ontario and Quebec were to pro-lockdown. But when you see how much the interests of bigger businesses are being served, basica

Is there a direct link to the project?

I often have a shell open on my phone, but far less often than I would if there were good options for typing. I'm very excited by the prospect.

A lot of the "system integration" work that these big consultancies get hired for is more like configuration (of big erp systems like SAP and Oracle or whatever)? There may be some overlap but as I understand it's very differ

That's about it. Horrible user experience - oh you're about to pay us, just click a few sidewalks first - and condescension of asking people to do a menial task that improves their ML models. But forcing you to use one of their sa

Gambling, e.g. casino or sports betting is different because for some it's a fun pastime and participants are (more or less) aware of what it's about. "Crypto" - not the underlying tech which is potentially interesting a

The site has a big re-captcha banner on it - one of Google's most consumer hostile products. They should consider switching to something else if they want to "take on google".

Related, in English, words of latin origin are often perceived as more pretentious sounding than their Germanic equivalents. It's not true for all cases but there are lots of obvious examples in this list: https://en.m.wikip

That promition is ridiculous, or at least superbly ironic. I think though it's an example of how actual health (or quality of life which is a much more robust measure) outcomes are virtually irrelevant to policymakers. We a just lucky

Just my opinion, there's a lot of extremism around handling covid, basically a religious reverence where no measure is too severe to prevent even one death. But it would be a mistake to apply this thinking in reverse as well. Rare reac

Agreed that just quoting the delayed value does not tell the whole story. But it could be a pretty good proxy: to some approximation, everything in the supply chain would be set up to work with the 9.6 Bn daily flow of value - everybody&#x2

But will taking away abstractions address what the paper is talking about? If we can abstract away the models and training, I see an opportunity to focus more of the dataset. If you look at something like Pytorch Lightning (and I think fast

Wow, I just want to say that this was good. You have managed to very accurately and eloquently describe the CBC. And you're right, you have missed nothing since you tuned out.

by iujjkfjdkkdkf 6y ago
Yeah, I came here basically to say the same thing. Don't want to get political, but CBC is so far from objective both in the spin they put on stories, but mostly in what they select to "report" on that I give no weight whatso

I find this is common in python: there are nice shorthand things you can do that are definitely powerful, but they are not easy to understand nor to remember. Particularly with conditions applied to arrays / series this is a problem. &

When it was short term, I can see the argument both for decency and for a smoother return of keeping people on. I was surprised that my employer pretty much instantly dumped all the facilities related staff when we went to wfh. But now that

I only have limited perspective, but the people I know who are really interested in free software (including most notably my girlfriend) are really not interested in the other aspects or RMS or anyone else's politics, in relation to FO
