Presumably the goal is to have a lot of chips at the end (more than you started with?). I would assume if you bet 10 chips, you get 10 for being right, and zero for not. So betting 0 chips all the time probably won't get you the job!

Might be worth pointing out that fp16 on a k80 is woeful.

Can't you? I have just been using the lightning class as a wrapper, with my normal model on self.model or something like this. Same for the dataloaders.

I like the idea of kubernetes, and (some time ago) worked through a basic tutorial. My main confusion is how to set up a development environment. Are there any guides you could suggest that cover basic workflows?

I always had the impression that the incentive alignment between Apple and it's users was far better than any of the other big tech companies.

I'm curious - do you think affiliate links are a problem, and if so, why?

Yeah, my partner recently had to turn down a place at lambda for this reason. Hopefully you can sort the UK soon!

The keyword to search for, if you are interested, is epigenetics. Modification to e.g. histone protiens can change the expression of genes through a variety of mechanisms. As far as I'm aware, exactly how this works isn't that wel

This is a problem in most areas of scientific research. There is no incentive to publish negative results, so no one does.

I had a macro in emacs that wrapped the highlighted text in some xml tag (say <book></book>). Processing that I could label it however - e.g. IOB or whatever you fancy. The labelling didn't really take that long to do,

I did this a while ago (www.hnreads.com, bookbot.io). Manually labelled ~2k comments, trained a NER system, then validated the titles via amazons api. Was pretty easy once I had manually labelled comments. Don't recall my F1/prec

We just had a paper accepted after 11 months. There is no good reason for it taking this long. I wish biology would adopt the publishing practices of physics or machine learning.

I've moved completely from Vim to Spacemacs. I can't see myself going back to plain Vim any time soon. The emulation via evil is very good, and the layers provided are generally immediately usable with consistent keybindings.

I haven't regretted doing my PhD in the slightest. I've learned a huge amount, in a wide variety of areas. However, the system in the UK is a bit more favourable regarding funding. Having said that, the funding doesn't scale

I like this idea! In my research we deal with relatively large amounts of sequence data, all of which needs to be associated with geo ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gds/ ). While geo is in many ways a good thing, it is n

In contrast to sentiment of many replies here, I have really enjoyed my PhD (admittedly I have not yet submitted - I plan to in the summer). I worked for a year prior to starting, and while that was fun, it felt very limited by comparison.

Asking for your money here refers both to a potential reader, and the the author of the article.

I'm coming to the end of my PhD, and have been contacted by a few recruiters for various hedge funds. It seems like a shame to leave academia. Realistically though, most people will be stuck in a series of ~18 month postdoc contracts,
