Just curious, what is the spec you pay $6000/year for? Where/what is the line between rent vs buy?

This is a bit off topic, but why are used books so expensive on abebooks, thriftbooks, amazon so expensive compared to booksales, etc? I recall a time when a lot of these online stores were selling them for a few cents (granted, it was a lo

Is there something I can read to get a better sense of what types of models are most suitable for which problems? All I hear about are transformers nowadays, but what are the types of problems for which transformers are the right architectu

Maybe I'm out of touch, but have transformers replaced all traditional deep learning architectures? (U-nets, etc)?

My best movie experiences were probably watching hard to acquire bootlegs in the pre-digital age. The barriers were just so much higher, half the excitement was just getting a crappy copy.

Yea, also often the movies were cams from people that recorded in the theater so you can see the audience walking around etc. Quality hardly matters when the real treasure was getting the movie in the first place.

I don't know if it was on purpose or not, but I have heard it said more than once that Republican led states are able to greenlight projects faster, are more business-friendly environments, and generally have less red tape compared to

Section 9902 of the act authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to provide financial assistance to "covered entities" One can argue how to interpret "financial assistance" broadly, which is exactly what the administration h

...thats how the US Constitution works. Congress passes laws (CHIPS Act) and the executive branch is empowered to carry them out - in this case the Secretary of Commerce and Commerce Dept. One can argue whether it stretches the intent of th

Agree with this, but I think LLM's have been a net positive in helping generate commands? Admittedly, getting working commands is still tough sometimes, and i'm 50/50 on whether ChatGPT saved me time vs reading docs.

The other thing no one wants to say is the technical software/hardware talent in biotech is not as good as broader tech, and the people in charge of these projects are usually coming from a science background first and a technology bac

A lot of the technology is regulated by FDA requirements, which apply to humans but not animals. Some of these requirements are challenging engineering problems - like how to do certain type of liquid transfers without exposing the contents

What environment do you use? Is it still the case that Windows is the main development environment for cuda?

Are there non-icloud backup options? There used to be local encrypted backups through itunes, but I can't tell if that feature is still around.

Six boffins mostly hailing from Singapore-based universities have proven it's possible to interfere with autonomous vehicles by exploiting their reliance on camera-based computer vision and cause them to not recognize road signs. How

These comments make it sound like Jon Stewart himself wields no power. He commands an audience he can take to any platform he wants. It just looks like he took a liking to the pot of money Apple put in front of him.You can't really mak

Definitely agree here. I have been making this transition and currently work on life science lab automation robotics. It definitely takes intentionality because if you're good at software it's easy to get steered towards lucrative

how big is the market for $1100 rice cookers?

I think what the comment is saying is, if the government is spending a lot of money inefficiently (i.e. spending $100,000 on a weapon that has $10,000 in raw materials plus layers of bureaucracy that are hard to quantify as costs) and accru

Not sure the point here. California St is a major artery in and out of downtown. All I'm saying is there is an opportunity for improving the quality of traffic but instead the public resource of an entire lane is wasted on a bespoke p

by edge17 3y ago
No problem, so what is your argument for utilizing a whole lane for a mode of transportation that consumes a significant public resource without providing much benefit?
26.
by edge17 3y ago
Simple math? Assuming a fixed number of cars on the road, more lanes will increase the flow. The cable cars are novelty transportation for tourists that residents of the city don't actually use for commuting. In case it's not clea

by edge17 3y ago
While I don't disagree, this is also a city that has whole lanes on major streets reserved for cable cars. The city isn't exactly known for making decisions that drive efficiency.
