What? No they don't, they consistently and heavily praise all Apple hardware, and pretty much the entire staff uses Apple devices for at least work. Just because they can be critical of Apple's business practices, doesn't mea

An understanding of linear algebra and calculus would be useful, but I don't remember it being required. I was more referring to other resources/classes I had looked at, besides Ng's course or FastAI.

I wouldn't say Jeremy is anti-intellectual, but he does know that a lot of people get turned off from the AI field because they are afraid of the math, and a lot of other courses (used to?) start with the math. So he makes sure early a

Yeah, this is probably the reason it worked better for me as well. I had bounced off of some other courses because I didn't have the time to dedicate 16+ hours of lectures before I would get to the fruit of all that foundational knowle

I found that starting with the big picture and a tangible result made it easier to stay engaged. At the end of the fastai course, however, I felt there were some gaps in my understanding especially at the low-level side. Andrew Ng's co

I went through both, but I definitely think fastai is the better starting point.

This hit me hard a bit ago. I had hiked for an hour or so to the middle of a forest, pulled out my phone and was viewing a crystal clear live stream made by a random person on the other side of the planet, in higher quality than any movie I

If it is like many other models, part of the reason would just be to reduce their bandwidth costs. The models can be huge, and they want to limit those who just want to download it on a whim so they don't rack up $10k+ is bandwidth cha

What I was hearing earlier is the old anti-missile RADAR that was in use on that ship was not capable of dealing with targets approaching from multiple sides at once, and so the Ukrainians flew a UAV on one side to effectively "distrac

We have had a few files just seemingly disappear, never to be seen again. Only once or twice, but still. Mostly, organization of files behaves... oddly. It is weirdly hard to ensure everyone has a consistent view of a hierarchy / folde

Often times, you will have chunks of code that are either creating input for what would go into an interface/mock, or handling the output of it. You could pull those bits, even if they are relatively simple (maybe only a few lines, and

That is one of the big benefits I have found from writing code while planning to write unit tests for it (even if you don't write all of them). You will generally avoid patterns that will require a lot of mocks to test, which generally

I see a lot of Franken-RFPs in government contracting. You get sections that are just word-for-word recreations of a products spec sheet, straight off their website. But different sections are from different, competing, products. So the end

Pretty sure it wouldn't require coordination. Something like 1/3 of the planet is their active monthly userbase for just YouTube.

Isn't this the third time? I thought they were owned by Activision for a bit, before leaving again.

Predates the standard, I think?

I was thinking of those too, but did they get that way via acquisitions or by entering new markets?

by saynay 5y ago
Yeah, keeping the execs around for a while after an acquisition before they quietly exit seems common.

Maybe it is just my ignorance, but that type of consolidation seems rare in any market in Japan, not just gaming.

So far, there hasn't been any evidence (I've heard of) of long-term adverse effects of the vaccination. Vaccines are not exactly new science. There has, however, been evidence of long-term effects of catching COVID in some cases.

There was a few other things that tied in to the anger. It turned out Streamlabs had released a series of products that each exactly mirrored the functionality of other popular projects, including in one case stealing the entire product pag

The transformer is the neural net in the encode / decode steps. For something like a language model, it takes an input phrase, encodes it to something that has "meaning" to the net, then decodes it into an output phrase. The

Sorry, didn't see this sooner. Word2Vec was just an example of an easier-to-understand embedding (it is actually frequently used as an input to these language models, actually). The process of encoding the input data stream to an embed

The encoder is the neural-net that converts the input to the embedding vector. The decoder is the neural-net that converts that vector into output. What that embedding vector "means" is whatever the entire algorithm has learned it

Their dedicated stuff is dirt cheap, although if you are trying to put your own OS on it they are quite a pain (some ancient Java web plugin). Networking has been occasionally unstable for me, though. Their vlan stuff being 1400 mtu is also

I feel like you need a balance there. If your programmers cannot put themselves in the shoes of the users at all, you need really really good specs. If they can, your specs don't need to be as... specific, as you can rely more on the p

Helm is useful if you need your software to run in many different places, and is widely known. This is why you see so many projects offering Helm charts; because you see them, they are set up to run in many environments. There is no reason

I don't see how the privacy is any more eroded than it already was? Eroded trust, sure, but that is mostly because they did a terrible job communicating it.
