Most importantly, this behavior (by social media and news outlets) is very damaging for USA. What if 8 years from now there is much more censorship, information control AND authoritarian maniac (from either party) at the helm? All of this

The conduct of Twitter, Facebook and media outlets in suppressing this story is horrifying. While this story is somewhat damaging to Biden, I think, medium to long term the way it is handled is much more damaging then the story itself.

I live in Bay Area 20 mins (by bike) from new Apple campus. A house next to ours has been empty for at least 5 years. Once a year a lady from China shows up for not longer than week. It is never rented out, just sits empty...

In US: Austin, TX. Utah, Maybe Florida. Outside US (taxes could be higher, but what I get in return could be a better deal than CA): Sydney, Australia or Auckland, New Zealand.

I am in tech and can live and work anywhere. I am staying in Bay Area because of climate/geography until taxes are too high to bear (very near that point now)

please, what kind of competitive advantage EU has in tech? Sure, China has some advantages but it also has huge disadvantages as well.

exactly - most miss the point that biggest news here is Twitter censoring direct messages.

I never recommend friends and family to buy a specific stock. This is a good way to loose friends. I am happy to share with them what I am buying though, if they ask

TIP: if you need to emulate a bigger batch with less RAM available - use gradient accumulation trick. Super easy to implement in Pytorch and it is already implemented as a single flag (accumulate_grad_batches) in Pytorch Lightning.

“ With machine learning, you spent most of the time copying memory between the CPU and GPU” - this is a sign that you are most likely doing it wrong. Yes, some operations are inherently bandwidth bound, but most important ones such as large

It would be great to make sure: (1) our grid is safe and ready for that and (2) we don’t buy dirty electricity (like we do now more and more buy buying from Utah) and instead use renewables + nuclear mix

I grew up near Chernobyl and my parents still work on Chernobyl power station. You actually don’t have to convince anyone there in the benefits of nuclear. Renewables are great but can’t meet 100% of demand. And when they can’t we should be

no we didn’t get lucky. We started fighting fires which used to occur naturally. That leads to accumulation of unhealthy forest growth which eventually burns in a big way (now). And of course other effects like PG&E not maintaining thei

It is estimated that 3 mil acres burned in 2020 so far. But before the Golden Rush that number is estimated to be 4.5 mil of acres per year. We need better forest management which means more controlled burns. Climate change is not the root
