   an AI chip would essentially just be a chip that can do matrix multiplication very quickly plus some addition. Each perceptron (neuron) is just fitting a linear equation, so if we had a chip that could support millions of perceptrons all fi

   The way neural networks work is that each perceptron runs a linear equation of the form: w1x1 + w2x2...wnxn. Even if you train the model somewhere else, you still need to hold the weights locally in each perceptron in order to evaluate the

   That’s ducking funny!

   At my old company we were paying millions for contracts and software we didn't use or really didn't mean. One of the analysts volunteered to be the "undertaker" and renegotiate. After a year of screaming at people on the

   I don't think you understand what FLAC is. FLAC is a lossless compression format, that's it. FLAC also can be encoded in 16/24 or other bitrates like 24/192. Moreover, you can't (or shouldn't) do lossy to lossy

   I do, but on what.cd I had 2TB of upload buffer. I'm in the process of building up my ratio with a seedbox on redacted.ch.

   Offtopic, but I’ve been using Emacs for ages and my fingers hurt. Are vi keybindings better. Can I edit things more quickly?

   Upsides: Many muture implementations both commercial and opensource (SBCL, LispWorks, Franz Lisp). Can be very fast. Less opinionated than Scheme/Racket. Supports FP, imperative, and OOP. Supports system images where you can hack on ru

    Spotify’s collection is nowhere close to what what.cd used to have before it got shutdown.

    If you deeply care about music and are an audiophile you do. I was on what.cd before it closed are really appreciated being able to get flac rips of original release vinyl, sometimes dating back 60-70 years. Example first pressings I have i

    Aren’t all people dancing monkeys? Also could you give examples of popular disabled artists that can’t perform on stage? Because I don’t think I or anyone I know could list a single example.

    I work on Wall St (metaphorically of course) and people wear vests because it’s cold, windy, and you look good wearing one. They’re also light and sleaveless, so they’re easy to take off and they also make your arms look good.

    Firms in finance run the gamut from being breathtakingly stupid to scarily smart. Since the financial crash things have changed a lot (less stupid guys) though.

    I mean surely you don’t think Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgon, etc are still around because of survivorship bias? That is, everyone is just flipping coins and some people got lucky. If you think that’s true, the natural correlary i

    Just because it’s really low doesn’t mean Ten is wrong. There’s plently of examples of securities that have been mispriced to such a degree (i.e Enron and MBS).

    Excel? SAS? Stata? Matlab? All are very popular tools in data science and statistics. You could argue that open source tools have become more popular recently, but I would hardly call open source software the "norm."

    Have you tried piping /dev/random to them? I bet you could get some of coreutils and a lot more BSD tools to crash by doing that.

    That should be sufficient for uber, I think.

    I don’t think anyone thinks that sysvinit is better than systemd, but RC definitely is.

    Maybe that’s all true, but it doesn’t really make sense for Uber/Lyft. They could go back to their job driving whenever they wanted.

    If you see EMH as a general principle: all present information is incorporated in the price and all Sharpe ratios trend to the market Sharpe ratio, it makes more sense. No one actually believes in strong EMH, that is, it’s impossible to bea

    Or maybe no one mistook it and they were buying because they thought other people did.

    There’s other languages that fit the same criteria that are much better: Scala, OCaml, Racket, or Haskell. The inherent qualities that draw people to Python are that it’s so inexpressive and crippled that you can learn it in 30 minutes.

    I don't think Python is worth using for most new non-data science projects nowadays. The language is ugly and hard to work with. Also the performance is terrible.

    I dunno, Python is the epitome of a "meh" language. Guido has help Python back with his antiquated "get off my lawn" attitude since he created it. The language itself is inferior in expressiveness and performance to almo
