> which is sequestered behind a Chinese wall. hm, hadn't heard this one before ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_wall ). Seems a bit anachronistic.

From what I have been able to tell recently, CVPR in particular is a venue where "engineered systems" get a lot of focus. I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing, nor do I think it is representative of the big ML confer

This is seriously cool. I want to mention that on AWS you can reliably get V100's for $0.918/hr (I do this all the time) by using spot instances. The spot price hasn't changed by even 0.01 for at least a year, so you're

I think it's to stop the HN equivalent of "doomscrolling" or mindlessly wasting time. If you have to wait then there's time to think, ok should I even be doing this right now?

a) "epistemic arrogance" -- you believe you're smarter and know more than everyone else; No, more like you decide to be less greedy than everyone else. You choose to leave money on the table in favor of getting out early.

This wasn't a pump and dump though. Even if it never hit WSB the pump (squeeze of the short sellers) would have happened. The defining feature of a pump and dump is a socially engineered pump. Here the social aspect was more like &quot

Training? No, of course not. It's still a laptop GPU/SoC/"Neural Engine"/whatever. Especially when the alternative is free GPU via Google Colab etc, there is no competition.

Firstly, this isn't true. Just this week AMC was trading tens of billions of dollars worth of shares per day, which is about equal to AAPL. GME is seeing >twice as much. Second, the insane amount of volatility and concentration in t

I don’t recommend this strategy in practice though. It’s brittle and not all application state can even be represented as UI (what about your login cookie?).

Consider pressing a "play" button to first start playing the video but then also remove itself from the UI and replace it with a "pause" button that when clicked does the inverse. The UI here is acting as a state store b

The most direct route (stockton->market->howard) is actually the one I’d take in that case. What do you think it should suggest?

From what I read it sounds like Timnit cleared the general idea of the paper 2 months before. The paper itself seems to have been submitted for approval 1 day prior to the deadline. Another HN commenter says that submitting papers for appro
