You can't do any serious neural stuff on 8GB of VRAM. I'd say save yourself some pains and buy the $3000 professional models with ECC so you can train transformers.

I’ve looked into transformers for semantic segmentation, but the patching aspect seems to make it hard too. Do you have some sources that describe these hacks in detail?

My headcannon honestly throws away the sequels. They are the first books in the timeline that felt like really soft sci-fi. Not actually bad books, just out of touch with the rest of the story.

Foundation is basically the story of Seldon’s plan, and of the leaders trying to keep it on track while handling the turning points predicted by psychohistory (“Seldon crises”). I think Seldon just assumes or hopes that his advice and the l

I did that on a high school Windows lab PC, put the task bar on top of the screen, set it to auto-hide, and killed explorer.exe so the Desktop icons were only part of the background. A prof had to ask me to set it back because they couldn’t

I mean, there's also only one winner in French presidential and national assembly elections, and we have a lot more than two big parties.

I mean, if that’s your usual way of arguing about things, I’d be happy to see you banned from here too.

Yeah, I’ve been here a few months only and there is a very different attitude than on better-known websites like Reddit. HN is the only forum I’ve seen where anyone who argues in obviously bad faith will get downvoted to invisibility, and m

That sounds weird. Are you saying that doing more work than better-paid employees shouldn’t be an argument during salary negotiations?

Well what does the law says if someone under oath gets asked for classified information they aren't allowed to disclose, and saying that it's classified would itself disclose a secret? Maybe there just wasn't a clearly good a

Spotify has hand-curated playlists that make it easy to discover new artists though, if you know which genre you're looking for.

After doing the basics (stone tools, safe base, light and food), I'd always do that as soon as possible. Diamond stuff is very useful for later parts of the game, and you'll need a lot of redstone to build interesting circuits. It

PyTorch works very well with PyInstaller. The only issue is that it can't use the DataLoader's worker processes, they crash for some reason (even with multiprocessing.freeze_support()).

PyTorch's C++ API is experimental and doesn't have feature parity. PyTorch is a Python lib that heavily uses C++ extensions, but I don't think it has ever been a C++ library.

I think it happens in France sometimes, and it’s one of the roles of the Constitutional Council to strike unrelated measures from laws.

A few specific issues I had all the time: - Alt-Tab takes between 0.1 and 2 seconds to work, apparently at random. Windows are skipped, also at random, so I can't predict which window I'll get. I can't even switch to another

UI slowdowns, awkward multiple desktops, and general slowness is definitely a factor that made me leave Windows though.

I see new Safari tabs crash and close immediately after I open them. It's been the most annoying issue, along with some pages rendering the first screen, and staying blank below for 2 minutes.

I don’t find it satisfying: I can copy files from one stage to another, but I can’t install a .deb (or any other package for that matter). Copying a list of paths will break if the package changes, and it can’t easily do anything done by

We use both, but I much prefer docker-compose, because systemd scatters deployment files in system directories, which makes them a bit of a pain to find and backup. Not sure if we're doing it wrong. docker-compose is just one folder pe
