There is a bar on personal projects. Period. Period. Either you're misunderstanding logic, law or society. If Karparthy fails he runs a real risk of having his life very closely examined. The rules are different for different people. I

His job affects peoples lives. He certainly is human. I'm not criticising his project. I'm not saying he can't have personal hobbies. And I'm not the one that decides the bar. I'm saying that there is a bar and it

That certainly depends on how much time off and what was done in that time.

Society has given Kaparty et al a lot of latitude to take liberties with other peoples lives. In my view this creates an obligation to do the best job humanly possible.

If they’re giving up on autopilot then fine. But if people’s lives are riding on the quality of the work then I think it sets a high bar for personal projects.

I’m no fan of ham fisted normalization.... but I think the bigger issue is the fairness aspect of thresholding based on class sizes. I think it should be possible to create ‘virtual classes’ above the threshold by combining smaller like cla

Maintain 3 gigs simultaneously and drop the lowest paid one on occasion. Or devote fewer hours to it. Negotiation becomes, “sorry I can’t do more hours for you, someone else is paying me more for my time.” This will also mean you don’t have

I always wonder how much of the reduction in cleaning of glass can be attributed to better aerodynamics and better glass.

But it’s not poison it’s a virus. You’re less likely to catch it but if you catch it you get a complete dose.

The one thing I liked about MS was that it didn’t have a successful social media asset. This allowed it to stay generally apolitical and out of the fray. This will be the beginning of the end of MS. (As opposed to the middle of the end of a

I wonder if it’s inevitable that we will get denial of entry based facial recognition systems. It’s legally difficult to stop people from leaving the store whereas it’ll be much easier to prevent them from entering. If someone shoplifts the

If rich people sold the assets they wouldn’t have them anymore. The mechanism is more that rich have access to lower interest rates. The proportional difference of interest rates between the rich and poor increases as the risk free interest

Repeated Bernoulli trials give rise to Gaussian distributions which is where the e exponential comes from. This an assumption and an approximation and is not necessarily a good fit. Pulling from actual probabilities would generally perform

I wonder if people are paying more in a patron or only fans way. Supporting it as an attack on their least favorite blue check mark. Also, I wonder if more of the value of the blackmail could captured with an auction mechanic; as in donate

Demographics explains most of differences. Ghettoes, density, and culture seems to explain the rest.

My group of hard core ML friends went fully private. I don’t even pay attention to the public ML discourse (except on HN.) I think a big part of it is a low barrier to an international culture and academia which can be toxic in their own wa

The media tells us who to care about and by how much. I find the whole thing very irrational and very isolating. I’m quasi American and I have always hated the people who worked in those towers. The primary business of financialization is t

That is rough. I was unaware of the heavy import taxes. But they’re the ones buying so they should pay the tax, expecting me to sell internationally tax inclusive was weird, and possibly a miscommunication with an intermediary, or someone w

Brazil is a corrupt highly taxed basket case. I know plenty of people who left. The govt there tried to buy some software from me and then tried to tax the international sale by %40 after the price was agreed. I added the tax on top and the

As a data scientist with access to large amounts of private messages between individuals I can assure you that women are capable of participating in puerility.

I second the mono space for code suggestion. I guess my brain is wired to see when characters are offset slightly as wrong. It’s a bit unsettling.

Checking out the bugs, it’s hilarious. You’d think it’s simple enough to get right. Crash on copying value, a bug waiting on triage for three months. Not exactly an endorsement
