Oh yes, for sure! Speaking specifically about the US: Every POTUS (from both parties) during my lifetime has favored lower interest rates, cause jobs, "economy is strong" arguments - all means to look good during their term. The F

Good catch and good point. What I was thinking was NVVM dialect. You're right on TensorRT being mostly a runtime.

Maybe! I'd like to think of ONNX being the first standardization wave. That said, there are lots of technical limitations, such as: 1) It being a protobuf with 2GB file size hard limit. Makes it really hard and painful for large ML mod

They're solving the same "high level problem", but with very different approaches. TensorRT is proprietary to Nvidia and Nvidia hardware. You'd take a {PyTorch, Tensorflow, <insert some other ML framework>} model a

I think it has to do with headcount requirements once you're Google scale too. Leetcode style interviews become yet another "process to avoid disaster at a big company". Disaster here means hiring a bad engineer and then havi

> The long answer is that most of the web has become too inauthentic to trust. Reddit was also partly successful in that regard because it catered to niche communities who ask the most interesting questions and, trolls aside, responses f

I can relate with author. It takes me a while to actually synthesize questions thrown at me, and sometimes I look like a fool staring back silently but I'm enumerating through a bunch of responses in my head. Ultimately, it's like

This is very unfortunate. Are there any better solutions to (consumer side) credential stuffing? The only ones I can think of are, and of varying effectiveness: 1. Don't share passwords between services - encourage use of password mana

I'm more of a vim guy, but "I get it". I started using these "serious" editors back in college and eventually settled with vim over emacs. I don't wanna get into the whole editor wars - it's like picking a

VsCode extensions contribute significantly to battery drain as well. The more extensions you have running, coupled with a larger codebase, the more compute needed to reindex for autocompletion, warnings etc.

What bothers me even more is the fact that nowadays newly installed apps even need to "ask user for permission to access the {Documents, Downloads, Desktop, ...} folders". This is especially true when using a new terminal emulator

It seems intermittent for me when browsing repositories, both public and internal/private ones. Normally works every 4/5th refresh, but I might be partially responsible for making it worse.

I've used click [1] a lot to build Python tooling scripts the past few years. Click usage is "sort of" similar to the author's proposed solution. There's also a small section here [2] that describes some of the issu

This! I'd like to think exceptions are reasonable as a terminal state for a particular user workflow, which sometimes even end up having the program terminated. Examples include "unexpected I/O, corrupt files etc." Excep

+1. git-lfs is sufficient for tracking binaries, including a ML model, at that cadence. Thinking more abstractly, there is benefit for code and data to live "next" to each other, if possible. Atomically committed to a codebase and

Might be a non-answer, but I think this really depends on how much leverage you have in pulling engineering + product culture levers. In my experience, you need to first define a small set of north star metrics that lead to the promised lan
