A couple millions IIRC. Nothing "large" compared to modern transformer models.

I did that a few years back: https://arxiv.org/abs/2011.11751

Yes, CPUs are still the main workhorse for many scientific workloads. Sometimes just because the code hasn’t been ported, sometimes because it’s just not something that a GPU can do well.

Looking forward to an electric car that’s not a gadget on wheels. Oh well that’s probably never going to happen

I'm not sure how I would do it otherwise, do you have an idea? The concept is that you can swap for the port you like, if that's USB-C then you have to choose between leaving the adapter slot empty (which you can I guess, even tho

I'm the first to complain about Tesla overselling their self-driving abilities, but I think the numbers used in this article are misleading. Miles per disengagements comparisons between Waymo (to pick one) and Tesla is like apples to o

So... Karaoke? Why do I have to read all of this to understand that they mean Karaoke?

For me, fish made my life instantly better without any real investment coming from bash. There are some incompatibilities, but I felt productive right away.

The parameters are the number of weights in a neural network, in this case.

This is really good news. It was a really contentious issue in RL and robotics research to be so reliant on proprietary (and very expensive) software.

All (I hope) gaming mice with fancy drivers will also just work fine without them.

My understanding is that it's pretty clear that vaccine do not do a good job at preventing infection (i.e. testing positive and/or having cold-like symptoms), Delta or not. I don't think they were ever advertised as such.

Exactly; sorry for the confusion

I think you just made OP's point.

Same for me in Linux and Windows. If your terminal regularly crashes because of memory corruption, there’s something wrong with your setup.

Same for me. Me and my partner had to set an artificial rule to never drink on weeknights. Especially at the beginning, the stress induced by the pandemic made it really easy to want to pop a beer open at 5 every day. It mostly worked, in t

I think verbal abuse, when done a certain way, is tolerated in a way that other forms of bullying aren't. Unless there are threats or sexual harassment, people in power will usually get away with being a complete ass with no consequenc

I interact the most with AFE (aide financière aux études) and FRQNet (grad school scholarships). These websites look like they weren't updated since about 1999 and are really, really counter-intuitive to use. Admittedly, they're a

Québec's government has historically been incompetent regarding anything digital (a lot of their website are still barely usable), but I want to give credit where credit is due: their vaccine appointment website as well as their proof-

The library of retro games on Switch Online is laughably small and is one of my biggest gripe with the Switch compared to the Wii (U).

I think he’s referring to the Académie which pretends to control what’s correct French or not. Of course as you mention, Québec has its own thing and does not listen to them.
25.
by jefft255 5y ago
Even for French, in practice, that’s not how it works... The académie is often criticized for being too rigid and not following the language that’s actually spoken.

That sounds just unbelievable to me, and I've worked at government agency doing Lotus Note programming on Windows XP past EoL. What was the decision process like, to decide to create a new Java applet in 2021?? Edit: I've seen a l

It's based on IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition 2020.2, and M1 support was released only for the very recent version of IntelliJ. So my sort-of educated guess is that no it doesn't.

I agree with you, but I also think that the current wave of investment is in fact a bubble that will burst. See, I truly believe that AI will be an important part of our future. What you call a cool off, I call a bubble burst, which it is w

It's because you made a false analogy. AI isn't literally "the future". Billions of $ are being invested in deep-learning focused AI right now (which you call "the future"), and yes it could be a bubble and it
