Thanks for this - does this actually install CUDA, or just give a pytorch install for a particular CUDA version?

What do you do when a new CUDA version is released?

Have you figured out a good way to manage CUDA dependencies with uv?

Does uv handle CUDA versioning? This is the big reason I'm still on conda -- I can save a whole environment with `conda list --explicit`, including CUDA stuff, and I can set up a new machine with the same environment just from that fil

16 years later, I'm still disappointed about this decision. The justification for it is just awful: "6.001 had been conceived to teach engineers how to take small parts that they understood entirely and use simple techniques to co

"without distinguishing between military officials and civilians" Israel has air supremacy over Tehran. The facts don't support your narrative that Israel is flattening Tehran.

Israel wants nothing more than for Iran to be free of the IRGC. Unlike Israel's Arab neighbors, Iran didn't attempt to destroy Israel (and kill all the Jews) in 1948. Before the IRGC took over, Iran and Israel had no problems. The

The article you linked is not an example of this happening. Google open-sourced the chip design method, and uses it in production for TPU and other chips. https://github.com/google-research/circuit_training https:&#x2

Terrorist hijackings were a major reason for sky marshals being put on planes. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine famously hijacked some planes and then blew them up on camera. This led directly to Nixon putting sky marshals

A solution to this is to book your flight first, then the hotel, as all airlines (that I'm aware of) allow for a full refund within 24 hrs.

Forcing the sale of TikTok _is_ reciprocity. Facebook, Google, etc. are already banned in China. This is the CCP's policies backfiring.

Calling this a "replication attempt" implied to me that they tried to replicate the Chinchilla Scaling paper and found that it did not replicate, which would be a very big deal! Instead, they just redid the analysis based on a fig

Kissinger gets a lot of flak for the bombings in Cambodia and Vietnam, but... I mean, it was awful when the Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia, and it was also awful when the Viet Cong took over Vietnam. The Khmer Rouge murdered 25% of the coun

The real problem here is that funding for sciences is way too low. Grant agencies cannot always get it right. The more funding they have, the more they can give to researchers that they aren't 100% sure about.

Reminder: the impetus for this is a person was thrown underneath the AV by a human-driven hit and run. The AV did not handle it well -- it should have stopped immediately, rather than pull over. But it's really important not to lose si

You don't get to cut parts of the method and then claim to have compared against it! Sorry.

Ultimately, what they needed to do was train to convergence, and they didn't do that. They should have made it extremely clear in their original manuscript their CT results are against a non-pretrained version that was not always tra

It doesn't look like they didn't train CT to convergence, so idk why anyone would care about those results. What is even the point of benchmarking against a learning based method of you don't let it finish learning? Quality o

You're completely right that if it has merit, Google should apply it to their silicon design. As it turns out, they do! This method has been used in TPU for multiple generations, including the most recent.

Usually bondholders are also wiped out during a bailout. Bailouts are generally for customers / counterparties, not investors. Sometimes in a bankruptcy, bondholders take a "haircut" and agree to get less money back because t
