That's not the point. This is a purely technical play, fundamental valuation methods have been thrown out the window a long time ago. Game stop is maybe worth 5-40$, but these reddit WSBers think the stock will keep rising due to the s

You could kickstart training on simulators and then do a transfer, i.e. make adjustments to your final model, on real world data. But to learn only on generated data the problem boils down to the nonparametric features you will be using to

What about building machine learning models that make predictions on said data? Can't just test on fake data.

What does moving to 5nm mean here? Starting to build stuff with 5 nm or releasing 5nm CPUs AND GPUs? Point is we don't know... and waiting for next gen is always an option -- what about next next gen?

You might be waiting a long time. Hope you have a decent setup already.

Am I reading this right? Is the new mac mini competing with a Ryzen 5950X? The whole mac mini costs the price of that processor alone. This is insane.

Catalina already broke a TON of legacy software and you cannot downgrade newer Macs to Mojave (at least not without some serious hacking efforts, and I know at least one person who tried and failed).

This is why this game is so dangerous. Also self reporting introduces bias too (biggest winners likely to report, everyone else not so much).

Now we just need to port all this over to python... or switch to Julia? Which one would take the least amount of effort?

I mean even for a single notebook the display looks pretty nice. Might consider using for single notebook books just to avoid dealing with the hassle of themes and jupyter extensions.

That makes a lot of sense.

I think most tech stocks are overpriced right now. The amount of speculation taking place in the stock market at the moment is just insane. MSFT gained 30% over 6 months (that's compared to pre COVID levels), what's changed that m

I have strong feelings against permanently remote. I feel like this hasn't been fully thought out. Face to face interaction is much more high bandwidth than remote video calls (in other words, it conveys more information). Not to menti

> I'd share more, but too many people would figure out who it is. Feels like your example is very specific and would not generalize to the average programmer.

Feels like they are blaming Google (Chrome) for Google (search) tracking users altogether? Maybe we need to start legally enforcing "Do not track" browser state?

Isn't that overkill? When are we going to start liquid cooling our raspberry pis? I expect someone to tell me that's already a thing....

Windows is still very much subpar, even with support for CUDA in WSL2. Loading packages is terribly slow in Windows, for some reason. Also don't get me started on package management (no, Anaconda doesn't cut it).

Not only that, I also require "offline" time to relax otherwise I become very weird emotionally and I start dreading everything.

NVidia's grasp of the market is stronger than people realize. AMD video cards are comparable on a technical level, but they struggle immensely on the software side. NVidia has built a competitive advantage over those many years of tota

I wouldn't say high friction, but clearly not as convenient/low-friction as signing up for slack/discord.

It's weird that something that is meant to be entertainment can become a chore (videogames and hobbies for instance). Is it merely because we are tired or because there is another activity available that is so low energy that it become

Not sure why you got down voted (feels like some people treat this as reddit), but I think hitting a spacecraft with a missile would probably be easier than reach people in a very deep bunker.

Do you really own those ebooks locked in various DRMs and only accessible from specific devices?

I feel like if I applied this reasoning I wouldn't give any money to any cause. There is always waste, no organization is perfectly managed. To be fair, it doesn't mean they shouldn't be open to criticism.

Same thing with Wall Street Journal. Can't cancel via web, gotta waste 15 minutes on the phone. Never subscribing again.
