I really want to try a pawpaw, but have had trouble tracking them down in NYC. I went to the farmers market in late August trying to find some to no avail. I did see a fruiting pawpaw tree at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden.
Infinite Jest. Enjoying it so far, but the length keeps on killing me. I'm like 5% of the way in after a couple of weeks...
Clever hacker needs to look up a Bloom Filter
Not to try to grab any pity, but I have pretty deep experience in the GPU optimization space and have not been able to even get an engineering screen even with referrals.
well this did just happen to me. laid off while taking care of my father in laws estate and my personal belongings were thrown away. 7 years at the company as an EM ftr.
lol at liberate New Yorkers? This has been a godsend as a car owning New Yorker who takes public transit 10+ times a week as well. Less traffic and all the externalities associated.
Team Shark Brand here. It's sweeter and spicier, though I do wish it came in a bottle smaller than 750ml...
More RAM and USB-C and will 100% purchase
I've always wondered if some hedge fund uses senator's transactions as input in their model
The filters are more efficient in space and query time at the cost of being immutable after being constructed. There is no Add() operation as there is with the others.
Multipass was the only way I could get a local k8s install that didn't shred my laptop. Albeit I/O perf was bad, but would build containers on the host and put them in a spot containerd could pick them up in the VM. Worked pretty well, but a bit hairy to set up.
I thought just a glance towards France was enough for the ol' British Bulldog
A negroni is equal parts Campari, Vermouth and Gin. Varying the brand of Vermouth or Gin has the biggest impact. Subbing out Campari makes it another cocktail. Should be swapped out for another Amaro (Herbally Bitter Liquer) such as Cynar, Gran Clasico or Brut Americano (never Aperol, too sweet). I'm partial to using Cynar (pronounced chee-nahr) which I've heard be called a Sin-Cyn (sin-chin).
You can also try swapping the gin for whiskey to make a boulvadier and see if that more to your liking as well.
Thanks for the shout out. If anyone has questions or comments feel free to reach out.
Also I'm looking for work so if anyone is interested snag my email from my profile.
As some other posts have pointed out, their algorithm was holding them back not the language.
That'd be nice. For real though I did meet with them after, but it was basically the same as getting a referral so the same interview process which I chose to forgo.

To each their own. IDGAF.
I take mine over the Williamsburg bridge (3-4% grade) to work every day. I can generally get two commutes on one battery charge, but the speed degrades with lower battery levels so I try to keep charged. If you're on lower battery over a hill, kick-pushing a bit helps a lot.
BERT & GPT-2 are state of the art, pre-trained models with transfer learning in mind.
Is there a reason you chose to build your own instead of using an off the shelf solution?

Hey HN,I'm curious how folks annotate their data to be used in ML pipelines (NLP/Vision) and what their experiences have been. Production/applied examples with teams of annotators would be great.From folks I've spoken with these seem to be the most common ways:* Custom Solution
* Prodigy
* Dataturks
* LighttagI'm curious if there are more latent examples leveraging your users such as Google's...
