I reckon you need tacit knowledge. Experience. Luckily in the order of 100 hours not 10000. Build a GPT using Python and Pytorch. For a good course: Andrej Karpathy is your keyword. At $1000 his course is great value. But actually it is fre

I think you are close to the truth there. But I doubt companies purposely increase their hosting costs as some kind of firewall to only include the rich. More like they just don’t care. Same reason for technical debt, everyone wants to grow

That is one performance metric. What about energy use and loading search results not just the home page. I find DDG faster from a perception point of view. I imagine on sone metrics it is faster.

If all the sites tot more efficient it may also increase longevity of laptops and PCs where unsavvy people might just “need a new computer it is getting slow”. Also applies to bloatware shipped with computers. To the point where I was offer

Nope. Want to work at OpenAI and Anthropic as researcher? Or hell even a small betting outfit as a quant? PhD.

So is it right, to make docker reproducible it needs to either build dependencies from source from say a git hash or use other package managers that are reproducible or rely on base images that are reproducible. And that all relies on disci

Is this about timestamps or is there more to it?

The way I read a watch ignores the numbers anyway (arabic or roman) and I know where 9 is etc. if the device is upside down it is evident and I don’t even try to read it, I right the clock or take off and restrap the watch.

Mass media might mean large traditional TV, Movie and Newspaper organisations but I take it to mean also Google, Meta, X, Netflix, Reddit and so on. Your other points I agree with. But I believe you cannot be happy without discomfort. That

The anecdote doesn’t sound too bad: > During five weeks of job hunting, Croisant said she applied to 48 openings and landed two interviews. She finally opted to accept a lower-level data analyst role and a roughly $3,000 reduction in her

I am eyeing up Hyundai Ioniq 5/6. Any comments. Irony is keeping the dumb old Toyota is cheaper even with the crazy tax breaks in Australia! I could hand over $10k to carbon offset company instead and still be ahead with the ol banger.

Damn why didn’t I think of that! Well done. And I wonder if in memory spreadsheets are similar to (and as efficient as) Pytorch Tensors anyway!
