The Asian Financial Crisis in 1997: deregulated capital flows allowed speculators to rapidly pull money out of countries like Thailand, causing their currencies to collapse. The IMF stepped in, but their 'rescue' packages demanded

I've only had great luck with the LLMs(chatgpt 3o) generated Perl code. It was able to synthesize code for a GTK2/3 application fairly consistently, without generating any syntax errors. Most of the code worked as described, and i

Definitely Andrew Ng's courses, especially for concrete explanations.

I think it might be a moot point since the transformer run times scale very poorly and the algorithm has a symmetric run time.

I noticed that as well. Is there actually any reason he might've pissed off bunch of rustbros or are these just more baseless accusations? Also, everyone should know if you have some type of online exposure or receive threats you shoul

Seeing that Microsoft hired Lennart Poettering a while ago, I don't think they ever intended to compete with the Linux market share by pushing Azure. It seems more like EEE from the Ballmer era. https://en.m.wikipedia.org&#x

It seems to me that any technologically advanced civilization that is capable of completely annihilating another at such distances would likely be equally capable of avoiding detection, thereby reducing the potential threat level posed by t

While I can appreciate some of the intent to make certain healthcare more accessible, it is never a good idea to have anyone inexperienced attempt to perform some of the reactions required to synthesize medicines. This should always be done

Russia is not formally at war with NATO, and the indictment specifies crimes committed against 26 other member nations.

For a while it seemed like they might have it out in a cage match, can we just do that instead?

With the type of work the NSA does, I can't imagine many of the didn't know who Grace Hopper was. I expect they did it out of respect for her, rather than for the benefit of the general public.

I just paid $5.3k in the US for four 350mg doses of Albendazole (antiparasitic). This medication is something like $2 or less anywhere else in the world. This is not simply a problem with new drugs, but lack of pricing regulations from the

This is exceedingly bad advice as there are several spongy mushrooms which are toxic in the US: Bolete Huronensis, Sutorius Eximius, Boletus Sensibilis to name a few. There are a few in genus Leccinum as well.

Some of the arguments about Perl and bad engineering practice are not entirely without merit. Neglecting 'use strict;' or 'use warnings;' in your script typically makes this more apparent. The language itself however doe

Necessity is the mother of all invention. This could just be related to socioeconomic factors.

This is why I hate when anyone puts this guy on a pedestal. I can't be certain about his level of knowledge in most things, but with comments like this he regularly demonstrates lack of credibility due to either complete ignorance a hi

Ah, I think I remember bookmarking this when it was posted before. You really don't have to go very far in computing to find a frontier where most everything in described pure mathematics and so it becomes a substantial barrier for und

I appreciated the notation in Goodfellow book as well, it was easy enough for me to follow without having a strong mathematics background. I'll agree however with others that this text is instead focused for a different audience and pu

This is the probably the most succinct explanation, and as an experienced perl developer, I admire your brevity.

This is essentially my problem. I started writing programs at a young age and was introduced (unknowingly) to many more advanced mathematical concepts from that perspective rather than through pure mathematics. What was it that helped break

As someone who has a deeper knowledge of programming rather than math, I find the mathematical notation here to be harder to understand than the code (even in a programming language I do not know). Does anyone with a stronger mathematical b

It's a difficult plant to grow as it requires specific conditions. Though there are farms in the pacific northwest that have been able to cultivate it successfully. Here is a decent paper that discusses the challenges[PDF]: https:&#x2

I don't think it has anything to do with your fever- the post looks like autogenerated garbage. Below they were speaking about "planned obsolescence of compilers" which makes no sense as many make efforts to support legacy ar

For any side of conflict which is playing zero-sum, there can be no negotiations which are beneficial to both. Only one side has to commit to this strategy to condemn the other side to this path. Authoritarianism is an awful method of gover

I've noticed quite a bit of propaganda which is intentionally conflating these two pairs. That is, those who are advocating for Gazans are referred to as Hamas supporters and those advocating on behalf of Israeli citizens are accused o

The author's age is relevant as it gives the rest of the community a standard at which to judge their achievement, and a reference point to base our criticisms. Users here can be savage when judging other's work and castigating a

I like reading young programmers' code: It's interesting to see how they design everything with a decently high level of knowledge, but not the years of experience. The author seems to be a fast learner, and this is a great result

Truthfully, I never actually got to the rust build portion of the install. Rust required it's own patched version of LLVM to build, and I stopped there since I felt it was not worth compiling both, just for the one.

Oh man, I always install binary chrome-stable. Rust is another I don't enjoy building, so bin package there as well. But god forbid one of LLVM, QT and glibc chewing up all my CPU time every few months.
