I find the coding standard too long to be taken seriously.
Is hydrogen escaping into space something we should be legitimately concerned about if it became mainstream?

I hope this or related technology won't be used for cryptomining.

Re:Parallel Tracks on Monday October 05, 2020 @04:31PM (#24691684)
Its a good read. The author suggested that maybe its time for change, which makes me curious about what new model does he/she have in mind.
Re:Luna – Cloud gaming service on Friday September 25, 2020 @12:14AM (#24586517)
A lot of strategy games are very CPU hungry but not picky about GPU.
Re:Luna – Cloud gaming service on Thursday September 24, 2020 @05:15PM (#24583751)
I like strategy games and I enjoying modding / editing various aspects of these games. I don't think Cloud gaming will allow me to do these.
Re:Intel Launches 11th Gen Core Tiger Lake on Wednesday September 02, 2020 @03:50PM (#24357237)
What happens to Intel's independent GPU project? With the new nVidia 30xx series it seems that Intel GPU will have a hard time finding its niches.

If you just want to understand the Transformer, here is a clean implementation:

Yes, even here, people are more reluctant to comment on political related news, being afraid of getting downvoted to oblivion.

Since we are at the dawn of the space era, I have always wondered if earth mass loss due to massive space exploration will become a problem.
Re:The State of Machine Learning Frameworks on Thursday October 10, 2019 @02:12PM (#21217529)
In terms of model expressiveness, I made a functional NN building API for PyTorch (just like keras'), which offers the optimal balance of flexibility and expressiveness: https://github.com/blue-season/pywarm

type annotation is actually a fairly niche functionality. It is bad that most people cannot judge by themselves and just follow the hype.
Re:Visualizing the Speed of Light on Wednesday October 02, 2019 @10:44AM (#21136990)
But you have to factor in the age of this universe. A galaxy scaled intelligence probably haven't even finished a single thought since this universe was born.
Re:Visualizing the Speed of Light on Wednesday October 02, 2019 @02:53AM (#21133951)
The Speed of causality is hand crafted for our scale. It pretty much prohibits conscious beings of different scales to exist.
Re:Visualizing the Speed of Light on Wednesday October 02, 2019 @02:15AM (#21133802)
The more I think about it, the more clear that this universe is a containerized experiment on us. The actual question is, what are they looking for?

Re:Tensorflow 2.0 on Monday September 30, 2019 @02:39PM (#21118386)
Recently I found that a lot of TF2.0 Keras' functionaly does not support eager execution. This makes Pytorch still significantly easier to prototype with than TF2.0.

If you miss Keras' way of defining NNs, you can use PyWarm: https://github.com/blue-season/pywarm which offers a fully functional NN building API for pytorch.
