Re:Deep Learning with Jax on Monday September 30, 2024 @06:55PM (#41702984)
More of a meta-question; I'd love to know if people do self-directed learning more frequently, or if they follow through full (or partial) textbooks to learn concepts they're interested in. I have a hard time going through full books, but I have no doubt this leads to gaps in knowledge that someone following a textbook would not have.

This will load up multiple processes like you say. OP loads a large dataset and gUnicorn would copy that dataset in each process. I have never figured out shared memory with gUnicorn.

"I want the free service to work for my edge case"

If you want to continue serving your clients, you can still pay for a certificate from an authority trusted by your outdated clients. If you want to continue serving the old clients for free, ask them to use another free browser that will allow them to do so.

Unrelated to the app your building, I've been reading your blog for a few years. Thanks for the content stammy :)

Re:Ask HN: How do you deal with rude interviewers? on Wednesday May 11, 2022 @12:54PM (#31342630)
I think the intention though is to confront it rather than just ignore it to either help the interviewer realize its not acceptable, or just make them less likely to do it again.

You'd need raid SSD's or a sizeable RAM disk to make sustained use of it. Very few SSD's support full 25GB/s

Re:Success and Failure at Pebble on Wednesday April 13, 2022 @03:31PM (#31019156)
I had the Garmin first, and a colleague recommended whoop specifically for sleep / recovery tracking. I got the apple watch as a gift, which has since taken over most things because of the wonder WorkOutdoors app :)

"Apple sells millions of iPhones, therefore Android phones (samsung, Xiaomi, etc) are doomed"

I have a Garmin watch, an apple watch, whoop, etc (not all on at the same time of course). Different people want different things, ex: apple watches should be charged daily, but the pebble could be charged weekly. That in itself is a big selling point. I'm sure there were many such differences that could make for a successful product.

I found that working really early is a key to enjoying remote work. Being done by 2PM lets me get out and do things in daylight regardless of season.
Re:Down the mechanical keyboard rabbit hole on Friday March 18, 2022 @06:28AM (#30720434)
It depends a lot on where you work I've found. I recently had the chance to experience a team where they were given the full implementation logic by a product team, and your job was to turn it from business logic to code almost 1:1. I spent nearly all my time writing and testing, which was an interesting change.
Re:Down the mechanical keyboard rabbit hole on Friday March 18, 2022 @06:23AM (#30720408)
I accidentally went down that rabbit hole this week. I only realized how long I'd spent 2 hours later; I may never make that time back in increased efficiency hahaha
Re:Famous Navy UFO video was camera glare, evidence suggests on Wednesday March 16, 2022 @05:55PM (#30704628)
He literally says something to the effect of "I'm only saying that the glare is obscuring the true shape of the object" in the first minutes of the video.

I also stumbled across his channel recently (that video seems to have gained a lot of traction) and would recommend most of his content! Very thorough.
Re:Did I just lose half a million dollars? on Sunday January 30, 2022 @10:43AM (#30138095)
Reading the reddit thread; it seems like this individual was an OG miner and just held ETH for many years. His previous time investment matured, and he decided to finally cash out.
Re:Did I just lose half a million dollars? on Sunday January 30, 2022 @10:40AM (#30138058)
I think you can do test transaction off-chain, I think they're called test-nets and you can use them through many wallets, and even online IDE's[1]. Unfortunately, crypto is still at the stage where it's built for devs and technically minded individuals, and its pretty user hostile. Sending directly from wallet to wallet is a pretty low level thing to do, and generally people should be executing transactions through swaps or other DAPP's, which to me seems like we're working against the empowerment principle of crypto

Re:Gopher – A 280B parameter language model on Wednesday December 08, 2021 @12:36PM (#29487772)
I think it's more likely that 5 came out because if it ever saw the answer, 105, before, it was split into the tokens [10][5] of which it only 'remembered' one. Or the numbers were masked when training (something that was done with BERT-like models) so it just knew enough to put a random one in

Link it! I've been getting into flutter recently and would love something to steal ideas from :)
It could be that it is the formula you state "$xx + $yy*kWh", but you're getting variable amounts of power from different generation stations throughout a month that then all have a different x and y value
Thats odd, because I'm facing the same 2-3x markup and I live about 2KM from an active hydro dam.
Re:Eliminating gifted programs won’t make education fair on Wednesday October 20, 2021 @04:20PM (#28935919)
I also went through a gifted program. It was at one of the most poorly funded schools, and I had to take a 1.5 hour bus ride to get there. It was definitely not the most convenient option, and it was not the best school available by far.
Depends on the number of views you're expecting I suppose
