I haven't tried SimCLR, but I did try face embedding models trained with contrastive and triplet loss. For applications where precision is the key metric, I do agree that these loss functions are much better overall. If discovery or re

Hikaru's win in the Grand Prix was great, but the Candidates is far different. For example, Alireza Firouzja - another member of the upcoming Candidates cycle - has been MIA for a while, likely due to the insane amount of time he is pu

I'm curious what an optimal strategy for playing such a complex game like this is (if it even exists). I also wonder how much of a role intuition plays, i.e. the ability for chess masters to "feel" whether or not positions ar

A concise but not-completely-accurate way I explain it to a lot of pure software folks is that every line of HDL code executes "simultaneously". This can sometimes help them wrap their heads around Verilog/VHDL a bit better.

The tech is interesting, but I think Apple's claim that the M1 Ultra "beats" the RTX 3090 is just absurd. Regardless, I'd also like to see some benchmarks centered around training ML models. It might get some bonus point

The original Lua-based Torch is actually from EPFL, not Facebook. Tensorflow originated from Google's internal DistBelief system, making TF a Google project through and through.

For a short period of time circa 2017/2018, Google was on the path toward monopolizing machine learning as well through Tensorflow. Thankfully, PyTorch overtook TF.

Part of this is leftover tech culture from Facebook's early focus on Growth, Growth, and more Growth. Allowing for easy deletion of accounts was fundamentally at odds with user growth. It's refreshing to see that tech is now headi

I can sympathize with your situation. I was in an office building in Shanghai last November when it got locked down for 48 hours - nobody in or out. Everybody ended up ordering takeout, and the entire building had to be tested for COVID a t
