Check out torch.compile
This is unscientific. The burden of proof is on the person making the claim.

If I see "import torch" in your models, is it really 565 LOC?
Weapons are a good thing, in the hands of our liberal democracy. Any leg up we can get on the evil regimes of Iran, China, and Russia, along with the rest of their pathetic "axis" (self named), is a good thing.
This is a stupid straw man. At its most generous face value, you’ve said nothing. At worst you insulted a large swath of people.

Re:What happens when you vectorize wide PyTorch expressions? on Thursday October 26, 2023 @07:34PM (#38033015)
I spend a lot of sweat in the guards - I am very interested in how it failed! Can you say more? Did guard creation fail? or did guard check_fn perf overhead destroy it?

> One torch.compile capability I would be excited to see is compatibility with torch.vmap

We added support for torch.func.vmap, iirc - check out test_higher_order_ops.py, grep for vmap.

Pretty cool to see people using compile in the wild :)

Ahhh the find out part of fuck around and find out. Sounds like their unequivocal support for a terrorist organization didn't go so well.
Uber Microservices were such an inefficient PITA. There was buzzword soup of a bunch of half baked infra pieces and they were always migrating. Every part of the stack was rotten. Udeploy, xterra, tchannel, schemaless, etc etc.

My peak “wtf” moment was when we had a SEV because two services that should communicate actually used different versions of thrift, both hard forked by Uber, with different implementations for sets. Passing a set from one service to another caused everything to break.

I reject that argument because it is a Jewish state, founded in the wake of the holocaust, attacked for being Jewish in the first days of its creation. For better or worse, It is inseparable. In fact, if you go to Palestine, they do not speak of "Israelis" but of "Jews". Spilling Jewish blood, killing Jews, a curse upon the Jews, etc. You see this with hate crime on synagogues and Jewish homes, Jewish individuals, business world wide a response to what happened in Israel and Palastine.

If your enemies do not make such a distinction, then why should you? It only obscures and confuses what is pretty clear.

Reuters is extremely anti-semitic. They regularly down play the way Hamas stores rockets in schools and hospitals, and misappropriates aid in Gaza
Re:In First, Archaeologists Extract DNA of Ancient Israelites on Thursday October 12, 2023 @01:36PM (#37860288)
It matters because it shows that the palestinians / arabs are the colonizers. They are the ones who are seeking to displace natives.
Re:In First, Archaeologists Extract DNA of Ancient Israelites on Wednesday October 11, 2023 @02:10PM (#37848111)
Jesus, a Jew, was born in the land called Israel today, well before islam even existed. Al Aqsa is a form of religious domination (building ones holy site on another, older, holy site) and the very presence of palestinians is a form of colonialism.

Hard to move on when other people will kill you for it. Maybe the perpetrators of violence can move on first?

Re:Why not punish families? A challenge for consequentialists on Tuesday September 12, 2023 @08:29PM (#37490602)
A boring pointless rant of an article. I hate to flame but I feel a little robbed of my time for reading.
The vehement rejection of it out of not wanting to anger China speaks volumes to its credibility. The truth is always the opposite of what that regime says.

Nothing happened in Tiananmen Square -> We massacred pro democracy students

There is no food shortage -> There is a food shortage

We are not interning Uighers in concentration camps -> We are doing ethnic cleansing on native populations

Taiwan is not a country -> Taiwan is a fully sovereign state

So, applying that same logic, it's pretty easy to figure this one out.

On top of that, people trying to somehow decry that this is "republican" or "racist" are ignorant themselves, facts stand on their own merit, and there is nothing racist about any of these accusations. It is a pathetic appeal to partisan identity politics where there should be none.

It’s weird to see the wuhan lab theory rejected in this article. It is blatantly and patently clear that is where the virus came from.
He’s just a walking dunning krueger joke. He heard it somewhere and latched on.

Re:37signals Introduces Once – One time payment software on Wednesday September 06, 2023 @03:29PM (#37409993)
Spotify is, let’s say, $120 a year. After 10 years, let’s say $1200. If an album has 5 songs, and an album costs $12.00 (dunno, middle of your range plus easy math), you can buy 100 albums in that time. 500 songs.

After 500 songs for 10 years, your model costs more and offers no value (in fact, it’s less convenient for a dozen reasons)

I don’t know about you, but I listen to way more than 500 songs… a year. Let alone a decade.

I love this comment. Very HN. You’re absolutely right, everyone should just try to make paradigm shifts in the field.
