Missing 1 important point: ML workflows are super chunky. Some days we want to train 10 models in parallel, each on a server with 8 or 16 GPUs. Most days we're building data sets or evaluating work, and need zero. When it comes to infe

It's called the "creator edition". I'd dare to say this release is targeted at devs/creators.

They will enforce on anyone that won't make international headlines by punting from app store, which is to say 99.99% of developers.

You criticized me for using it. It seems you think something about my response is unreasonable. If you need it spelled out, the disturbing thing about your response if you used anecdotal examples to perpetuate and justify a negative sentime

I literally gave you the other point of view in the exact format you presented your ideas. If you find that an unreasonable format (and you should), that's on you. And related: the reason these people all hate aggressive drivers is bec

I don't think her plan for Toronto would apply to a small town. A detached home anywhere near the core starts at about $1.3M, so "affordable" housing is relative. Adding 100k units will make the entire market more affordable,

As someone who lives in Toronto, there are some very aggressive drivers here who do not follow the rules. 4 days ago I was clipped by a driver that ran a red light and drove straight into the bike lane without stopping or looking. He then g

Oh, the people who implemented Vision Zero replied to the cited article here https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a14500765/new-york-... They call the cited article "dangerous if believed by your driving

The source might not have used the best link, but there are studies to support that claim. Vision Zero in NYC has been studied extensively and has had a huge proven impact. I wouldn't say a opinion piece from Road and Track would be a

Agree on a lot of work to do, but Keesmaat is far from a big unknown with wild promises. She was the chief city planner for 5 years. Her stance on the issues have been well articulated for years. She has significantly more experience runnin

This is the attitude discussed in the article. Driver's feel ownership of the road and unfairly blame cyclists and pedestrians for conflicts. This needs to change. Several studies have shown that drivers are at fault in the majority of

Amazon has an office, scaling up quickly. UberATG (self driving) has an office. Shopify has a huge presence. People say google, but it's really a marketing office with <20 engineers.

"you're basically promising the censorship resistant future" where did telegram say anything remotely like that? They did an ICO for a utility coin. They have been honest about being centralized. Correct me if I'm wrong,

To be fair, ICANN required WHOIS info and registrars could be sued or lose registrar status if they didn't provide it. ICANN only recently said they wouldn't sue non-compliant registrars.

Is the "Early Registration Fee" considered a "cost of registration" or "application fee"? It's listed as "Early Registration Fee (non-refundable)" in the cart.

If you can't get the team who owns the data to meet the needed uptime, then you probably shouldn't start the project in the first place. It's a classic case of organizational differences in priority; solving them with tech pr

Agreed. Most people really underestimate the benefits. - I save $1700/yr on transit (Toronto TTC Pass). Savings would be even higher if I drove (parking costs, maintenance) - Massive health benefit from of turning 3hr/week of comm

What's the etiquette for disclosure timeline on something like this? It feels like 99.9999% of end users won't see this public disclosure, and waiting enough time for auto-updates to be applied would be ideal. Public disclosure as

This is verifiably false. The car is at fault in the majority of crashes. Search if you want sources, there are dozens of studies on the issue. You're complaining about cyclists killing pedestrians when the ratio is at minimum 5,000:1

Negligence has a clear definition. The driver who ran me over, in a bike lane, didn't see me because they didn't bother to look. That's negligence, not an accident. The issue at hand is that while the vast majority of drivers
