If we are going to consider using prior runs of the program having the file loaded in RAM by the kernel fair, why stop there? Let's say I create a "cache" where I store the min/mean/max output for each city, mmap it

The 1.4s is _after_ having the file loaded into RAM by the kernel. Because this is mostly I/O bound, it's not a fair comparison to skip the read time. If you were running on a M3 mac you'd might get less than 100ms if the dat

This is even slightly more direct: access to WSJ data requires paying LDC for the download, and the pricing varies depending on what institution / license you're from. The cost may be a drop in the bucket compared to compute, but

Be wary of using this model - the licensing of this model seems sketchy. Several of the datasets used for training like WSJ and TED-LIUM have clear non-commercial clauses. I'm not a lawyer but releasing a model as "MIT" seems

Shockingly the human genome itself has not been fully sequenced, despite the human genome project completing years ago [0]. There are difficult to map regions of the genome, some of which are interesting. Only recent advances in long read s

I used to work for a drone company. I made sure to go watch the mechanical testing for prop safety. One of the test objects was a chicken leg, and the prop cut through more than 2mm of bone. The props can do some serious damage! I don'

Check out sse2neon as a way to substitute your x86 SIMD instrinsics for ARM neon. Perf was good enough to ship in one of the past projects I worked with.

This article is quoting employees conversations from 2016. It wasn't until late 2016 that Google published research on wide and deep recommender systems. I'd be interested to see if people still think behavioral data is poor and M

You can get all this functionality and more working beautifully with Android with Garmin watches. Mine lasts for many days on a charge (perhaps a week without activity tracking), has better sport tracking features, but the screen isn'

Elon's was quoted saying "you have a forest of redwoods and the little trees cant grow." While pointing his finger at California, I can't help but think this really reflects back on him. Elon Musk's success and seve

It feels like we are seeing the result of diminishing returns with technology advancement. To make a product that Apple believes is significantly better than the competition they had to design a very intricate solution that includes: * High

Google colab is a much better tool than a new computer for getting into ML. It's free, requires no dependency management, easy to share, and has tons of example notebooks you can reproduce as easily as duplicating a google doc. Not to

You can make a model of any size with deep learning. If your concerns are about over fitting there are lots of regularization techniques used in practice like dropout, weight decay, and data augmentation. There's nothing preventing you

A better rule of thumb is miles because hours don't reflect the amount of energy put into your drive train. Typical recommendations are every 500-750miles for a mountain bike. For the average mountain biker I think that would be more l

You can't really make all things be equal and get increased efficiency and longetivity for most cases. The trade-off are explicitly made to have reduced longevity to have better efficiency. Take tires for example. A low rolling resista

Years ago I worked at a small, like 5-7 person startup in soma where we were surprised to find Rupert himself personally come by, later send some chiefs to do due diligence, and cut us a check. We worked with a few of his brands after that.

Blaine Washington is right along the Canadian border and next to many islands. The islands are sparsely inhabited and infrequently visited by humans it makes me wonder if maybe there is still a colony out there. It seems like a difficult ar

A common approach in rendering engines to convert screen space coordinates to objects is to render a second image with light and shadow disabled where the color uniquely maps to an id. You then can uniquely identify 24 bits worth of objects

Unfortunately live listen is more like a replacement for remote microphones, not the hearing aids themselves. It adds around 70ms latency with a bluetooth headset. This is enough to be very uncomfortable. For comparison, most hearing aids o

This is FUD. Skydio has produced and sold amazing drones in the US for several years. Both are invested in by Andreessen Horowitz and Palmer almost certainly knows about them.

I was surprised to see no discussion about environmental impacts. One nasty consequence of non organic canola oil is that the industry largely uses glycophosate for pest control. The organic version of Oatly does not use canola oil, and Cal
