The sample efficiency of the RL algorithm, even for simple games, is not very good. This usually means that we will need a lot of episodes for the policy to learn to excel. Being able to run policy in an environment that can parallel and ac

People born in different eras often develop different worldviews by the time they reach their 50s. Not everyone is lucky enough to be born in the "right time".

Sure, write a step-by-step action plan and leave it for a next fresh new 1M tokens context window.

Thanks that is very inspiring. I thought there are no blower type consumer GPUs, but apparently they exist!

I am curious about the setup of 14 GPUs - what kind of platform (motherboard) do you use to support so many PCIe lanes? And do you even have a chassis? Is it rack-mounted? Thanks!

My suggestion 1. Start by learning a simulation tool, e.g. Mujoco (open source) or Isaac Sim. 2. Learn basics of optimal control and reinforcement learning, reproduce papers/ideas in the simulation. 3. Get your hands dirty on a cheap r

I think having to debug to find problem of your system is frustrating. But with NixOS, I at least won't be afraid of "breaking the system" or doing something "irreversible". This is totally a peace of mind when tink

Thanks so much for sharing your story – hearing about your DIY Enphase install (and epic PG&E battle!) really gives me confidence. And the information you shared is extremely helpful for first-time DIYers like me.

Wow, what a fantastic write-up—thanks for sharing this! I’m a San Jose homeowner (and PG&E sufferer) with a homelab that pulls over 1 kW, and I’ve been down the DIY solar rabbit hole for the past two weeks. Based on my research, I’m pla

For the second problem, if I understand it correctly, you might want to try `vmap` from jax.

Yes, we are in the U.S., but our situation seems quite different from the standard RSU process you described. We did not receive a W-2, and the company has not reported the RSUs as taxable income yet. Even though our RSUs fully vested at IP

I am sorry that you had to go through such shenanigans. Consulting a lawyer is also what we are working on right now. Asking just in case: do you have any lawyer to recommend? Thanks!

Thanks for mentioning the safe harbor rule. We are actually aware of that. The issue here is that the company is asking the payment directly to the company's bank account, or the RSUs will be forfeited forever. This makes the situation

The shares are not in our brokerage account yet. According to the company, they need to confirm the tax payment to the company before the shares are transferred to the personal brokerage account.

I understand `pandas` is widely used in finance and quantitative trading, but it does not seem to be the best fit especially when you want your research code to be quickly ported to production. We found `numpy` and `jax` to be a good trade-

In this context, "zero-shot" capability usually means "how well it performs without fine-tuning or prompting with in-context examples" after the model is trained and parameters frozen.
