Comments in this thread are fairly dismissive of the Ultra as a serious competitor for Garmin's high end sport watches, and this article seems like an example of it not stacking up. But if I was Garmin I'd be terrified of Apple co

Seems unlikely Dropbox would be immune from some sort of issue like this. Probably best to have your photos in storage somewhere else (ideally both locally and off-site).

I might not mind for the right price, but I'd like to at least know. Right now it seems that either (a) nobody is yet selling used mining cards or (b) everyone selling used mining cards is lying about it and trying to sell them at the

Where’s the best place to actually find these cards? When I see used cards on say Craigslist they always claim “never used for mining” or similar, is there a way to verify that kind of thing?

Not to mention this is a nice backup for if I accidentally break my InReach or the battery fails or something.

First of all, I think it's an unhealthy myth that if you like your job you should never want to take a break or vacation. That said, neither of these things are really vacation. A conference IS your job as an academic, it's a foru

Well the only alternative is “stop using cars” which I don’t see America agreeing to. I think we’ll have to pay.

They definitely have authority at 30 feet above the surface, but the wright bros aircraft likely would operate under part 103 which governs ultralights and is fairly lax on regulation as long as you aren't operating near restricted air

I wonder what happens if you initialize the weights with these large outlier layers from the beginning.

Yes! I thought I was crazy! The most annoying thing for me is constantly getting notifications for "discount codes" that don't actually work. When I've contacted support they tell me "they're expired" or &

"Make a ton of money and donate it all" is an impactful way to maximize good. It's also something that people almost never seem to execute, usually it ends with "make money and donate a small amount of it".

It's a bummer to see what I think is a good idea in theory be hated because the people who implemented it did such a bad job in practice. The idea of having a fast, easy, low emission and cheap way to get around short distances in a ci

I actually think the stock brokerages have done a similar thing -- it used to be that sophisticated and risky products like high leverage options were not available to retail traders who didn't have the money to lose, but with the rise

Yes. Saying "don't invest more than you can afford to lose" while building an entire industry around convincing people to do exactly that is allowing these people to absolve themselves of responsibility by pointing out they o

But how would you know? A random string of text or an image with the watermark removed is going to be very hard to distinguish generated from human written.

Something I haven’t seen anyone talking about with these huge models: how do future models get trained when more content online is model generated to start with? Presumably you don’t wanna train a model on autogenerated images or text, but

I'm surprised that this crowd in particular is so incensed by someone paying $125 bucks a month for their software. If anyone knows how much it costs to make good software and run a company that operates and maintains, I'd think i

Asking here is like asking a forum of mechanics who hate cars, can't believe that anyone likes cars at all, and if they had the chance would sell all their cars in an instant and instead buy a farm that raises chickens.

I have no technical insight, but I'm SO stoked to see these images tomorrow.

The ability to scale up experiments is really nice in cloud. In my experience you need to be quite large before you’re using your own GPUs at a utilization percentage that saves money while still having capacity for large one off experiment

Yeah I can imagine a candidate where I laugh and agree to do it, but I'd have to be in a good mood, like the candidate already, and not be super busy that week.

The scalability of deep nets has made amazing progress since I stated working with them. Even just 5 years ago it was a challenge to train on multi-GPU, and training ResNet would take 24 hours on a standard GPU in those days. Now it's

But if they're contributing to the thing you care about does it really matter? I guess for some people it does, but if my company is donating $$$ per year to $MY_CAUSE isn't that still effective activism? They can curse and swear

What's performative activism? Like they don't actually contribute to causes or they don't actually care?

For many Americans the enemy IS Americans. It's worth getting bruised up as long as the other guy is hurt more.

DAC is nowhere near the scale needed to make even a tiny dent in our carbon emissions, and it's easy to be cynical looking at this (this plant can capture about 2000 American's carbon emissions). One thing I do like about this is
