Well I’m not aware of them happening “much less” just that there are less categories of bugs. We will of course rarely have software written with and without GC so it’s not an answer we will find. Memory leaks happen very frequently in mana

But when you think about it, what’s the benefit of driving? For reasonably short drives you don’t save much time with parking in cities and you don’t get any exercise.

Memory leaks still happen if you have a misunderstanding of memory management, regardless of language. Keeping references to dead objects is one straightforward way to do it. C++ also has smart pointers so it’s usually a case of someone wri

StarCraft mineral mining is interesting. 50 minerals per worker + 100 minerals per supply depot at some amortized rate. You have a dampening term on workers/mineral patch which saturates between 2-3 workers. It’s pretty linear till the

Regarding 1) and following 2) you only need to make realistic-enough video that it passes as a person and is similar enough to the target person. For example, you can have a pretrained model (e.g., using zero targeted data) and search for s

I’d think if your rate of spending is >$50/hour then that’s nearly-always a bug. The only reason this conversation is taking place is because serverless “infinitely scales”. Autoscaling physical instances has a max limit for similar

Definitely. Housing in LA is not affordable. It would make more sense to build houses in the lowest cost of living area in California.

Should I argue over magic, or…? Also, I don’t believe that’s the proper usage of that term. It would go like this “It cannot be magical, because math is logical.” Edit for maxdepth reply: The example is looking at any code for a model relea

I think the point is Walmart is able to pay at a low enough rate that it must be effectively subsidized by the government. Walmart then plays into it as a further benefit “they” provide.

And also what industry would pay someone to solve that problem. Super hard problem of little industrial value.

Well ya know, industry solved Fermat’s Last theorem numerous times but only managed to scribble it in the corner of their performance review.

Why link to this one vs. huggingface?

by mirker 4y ago
Seems similar to the Huggingface tutorial: https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/parallelism . What’s different?

It doesn’t have to be the same to achieve low loss. The date is not relevant, for example, for the image content. It can memorize a few images, but you can’t “compress” all of the internet’s images into text (if you can, make a startup w

TPUv3 was supposed to use liquid cooling. Not sure if it actually is.

It’s fine when the library is a tight abstraction. Unfortunately, ML libraries are leaky. Example: take a classification model and change the output dimensions without understanding the model.

What are some of the things on the roadmap for the platform? Any immediate plans to close the command-line gap for TPU utilization, etc.? My overall impression is TPUs are pretty awesome but the software stack is still a bit hard to use com

I make espresso, too. The problem is the espresso machine cost and quality impact the final product significantly. A high-ish grade machine is $700 or more. You can froth milk with less, but the coffee extraction usually is subpar. And actu

As another commenter said, if you don’t care for quality, you can get pre-ground. Then, you just boil water and brew, which is a few cups of coffee, so potentially less amortized work. Cleanup is fair but it’s on the order of putting your h

For coffee: French press + grinder is straightforward and has little maintenance. Machines have to be descaled.

I’d say this goes with letters of recommendation, too.

Yeah but that requires knowing control theory rather than “learning” it. Control theory is better if you know what you’re doing. ML is technical debt for sure.

If you make artisan bread with sourdough, it can easily last 3-4 days. Mine don’t grow mold until 7-9 days.

There is “artisan” bread, made by hand, which is the round kind. Then there is “sandwich bread”, which is the rectangular kind. Ingredients: Artisan bread is usually just flour, water, salt, yeast (sourdough is just flour and water, too). S

The API of Tensorflow and PyTorch is quite large. Even Tensorflow has a dialect specifically for TPU, so the notion of accelerator independence (especially when considering performance) has not been realized yet (though this is still a work
