there is still no vmap-like operation for GPUs in julia, right? How's Reactant coming along?

you know that people really go there to dance and enjoy the music? A friend of mine is a professional (modern) dancer, so has as much credentials as you can, and she enjoys dancing in berlins nightlife. She finds the space for expression an

I am not sure why...you want the LLM to solve problems not come up with answers itself. It's allowed to use tools, precisely because it tends to make stuff up. In general, only if you're benchmarking LLMs you care about whether th

people always cheer up stats like that americans are drinking less, but I think what's overlooked is that young adults also socialising less. Turns out, they also have less sex, less relationships, are less extroverted and play more co

Purely anecdotal, but I was recently reflecting at the current trend of people posting really extensive morning routines. Waking up, meditation, yoga, gym, shower, eating breakfast, meal-prepping,....having a whole day before your day start

I really enjoyed how they did it in Tübingen, where I did my masters. You usually had to achieve a certain score on the homework (usually 50-75% of the overall points) in order to be qualified to take the exam. Additionally, if you did real

I didn't enjoy the city of arts and sciences tbh, it felt disconnected, artificial, maybe almost totalitarian in its will to show off. I also thought that, if you look past the immediate effect, it just didn't feel that good looki

I recently found out that this is not a thing everyone does. This is essentially how I survived my studies, I was never able to concentrate at home except under intense stress. Quiet uni libraries were my safe space to get work done.

I am having trouble understanding the document. Where is it stated? I can not exactly follow your argument. I am not sure why being accountable to the people necessitates having not any job protection? I would have expected this to be codif

ah ok, thanks for the clarification! But there shouldn't be too many probationary employees, right? So what's administrate leave exactly? Just relieved from your responsibilities? I guess you still get paid.

As someone from europe, I am baffled by the ability to just fire everyone on the spot. Are there no job-protections for federal employees? This makes agencies really dependent on the political climate, right? Can he really just fire everyon

it boggles my mind that a place like new york doesn't have the money to just do that. Raising the speed limit gets more important the longer you travel and connects distant parts your city better. It's a recent trend to build high

I just want to point out that germany and US have a similar number when adjusted to it's respected population size (I think it's even a little bit higher). I am kinda surprised to see it so far on the top

ah no, what i meant that I see these really low-quality, disregarding patches. It seems like, if for example there's some cobblestone-like road, they are not really required to redo it using the cobblestones but can just patch it up? A

by LeanderK 2y ago
interesting. I noticed something similar in the UK but not in Germany. Maybe some simple change in the way these utility repairs are regulated is to blame? While interstates are nice, cities are where people live, so the quality of urban ro

well, but machine learning is the major reason we use GPUs in the datacenter (not talking about consumer GPUs here). The others are edge-cases for data-centre applications! Apple is uniquely positioned exactly because it is already solved d

by LeanderK 2y ago
its possible. Just look at Apples GPU, its mostly supported by torch, what's left are mostly edge-cases. Apple should make a datacenter GPU :D that would be insanely funny. It's actually somewhat well positioned as, due to the Mac

why? what are the main drawbacks? I imagine the complexity, but can you go a little bit into the details for someone with only little frontend experience

by LeanderK 2y ago
I am no frontend-guy, so I don't understand why in the age of node.js web-servers this ditchonomy exists between server-side and client side (SPA). Can't you initialise/pre-render most of your your stuff on the server, serial

by LeanderK 2y ago
yeah that's how I do it. You start simple (known solutions for trivial points), then easy cases with analytic solutions and then just some random stuff where you test that the solutions is reached without errors and makes sense (correc

Interesting, i am in the opposite situation. Using the deutsche bahn for long distances is often horrible so I never thought I would miss it but omg I really didn't have a good experience with Uk trains. The ticketing is complicated an

I think at first even background NPCs that don't give quests and rewards would be nice. Sort of give everyone a character and let them just babble. It breaks the immersion to hear the same phrases repeatedly. You can still handcraft ev

I just wanted to say they probably now have 24/7 GPS-enabled tracking devices on them :) [1] It seems so dystopian! And as if the whole world is extremely dangerous except your lawn, also at the same time there's zero trust in you

how can your local environment be so hostile, it just doesn't sound pleasant. It also seems to be quite isolating from your neighbours and local neighbourhood. It sounds like everything after your yard is death and children need to be

that's insane! Even if they are 12 or even 15? (I assume something around 16 is the legal age where you can then drive?) Or are we only talking small kids like 6? I assume the bus stop is only max 10 min away? For the context, here in
