I can assure you that I have seen 30+ year old graduate students giggle and try not to laugh in the Machine Learning Departments at CMU whenever that conference name was dropped in the office. I mean, you would think people would grow up, r

I am happy to see this. You say bullied into compliance but all I see is a community consciously putting efforts to become more inclusive. It may not be that big of a deal for you but it is a big deal for those who don’t share the same worl

Thanks for this. One of the reasons why I love HN. The points are not only interesting but provide useful information to the discussion.

Curious, would you care to explain a bit more about your thoughts on these sort-of-developers? How come you know so much about them? Do you often find yourself digging through medium articles?

In a similar vein, I look forward to adding less lines and removing more in my git commits.

Technology isn't doing the centralization, it's the people who are building and managing systems centralizing them. In that sense, we're doomed to give ourselves 1984 unless we consciously and continuously fight everyday to n

Progress doesn’t end one day, it’s a process. So what matters is the rate at which we make progress.

Can you please elaborate a bit more on the fungible interactions part? I am not sure I understand that bit. Suppose Tesla tomorrow becomes the sole manufacturer of battery powered cars. However, the good (dirty?) old petroleum based cars ar

While Nix is great - don't forget the venerable portage :-)

I don't think so. It should be possible to install the older version in different prefix (e.g. `./configure --prefix=/opt`) but I don't think AUR supports multiple slots (like portage does) out of the box. My cursory sea

Aren’t they the same thing (sort of)? The ENV in Dockerfile (or .env if you’re doing docker-compose) will be available during the build as well as runtime.

I would very much like to believe that GP was trying to picture a post-covid scenario and providing a rather personal recommendation to fellow travel enthusiasts. Let’s try to at least imagine a world where we can get back to some sense of

And here I was thinking I must be the only person who deletes their comments instead of submitting them! Thank you. I cannot tell you how relieved I am feeling right now.

Okay article. I wish it had gone a bit in depth about the challenges though. What’s prohibiting deployment and running of large scale distributed systems in Exascale scenarios that is not present in Petascale? My understanding is that power

I disagree to an extent. Sure file system traversal is great motivating example (or any tree traversal example for that matter). However, the Fibonacci sequence provides good end to end example of recursion, then tail recursion/dynamic

Correct, I meant part 2 of the course and not the version 2. Thanks for correcting me a_bonobo. As for revision of this part 2, based on my skimming of forums.fast.ai , I don’t think it will happen anytime soon. The second part is more abou

To be more specific, this will be the Version 4 of the course with a major upgrade to the `fastai` library (v2). There's an excellent talk by Jeremy (the creator behind the course) at Stanford that goes into the various layers that `fa
