Seconded, lived in the Bay Area for years and Paris for two years so far. Not even vaguely the same ballpark.

I'm more excited about StableHLO and IREE than about their integration into Pytorch, Tensorflow, etc. I want to see a DSL that can be used to describe models elegantly and then export them either to a shared object or to something that

I'm sorry but you are wrong. I am describing how physics works and it is at odds with many of the claims made regarding our understanding of what is a very, _very_, complex system. You can't just claim there is "consensus tha

The problem with this is there do seem to be quite legitimate physicists who disagree with the "sky is falling" conclusion that all popular discussion is premised on. I recently heard an interview with Dr. Richard Lindzen that, fo

Yeah I came here to say this as well. I gave up on LaTeX for my resume something like ten years ago. Since then I use HTML/CSS and render it with wkhtmltopdf. edit: grammar

There were some reasonable bits in here, but there is just enough typical, ridiculous Silicon Valley nonsense to largely turn me off from the article. > I actually got a lot done In an article that seems to be promoting the idea of relax

Damn, that was a really cool talk. Nice work and thanks for sharing.

I don't understand. In this article we are imaging widespread and frequent failure of critical infrastructure and we are supposed to further imagine that we're still interested in working on our relatively unimportant software? I

Yes same here. I really go crazy when technology that takes us further away from each other is presented as some sort of progress. Why don't we look around at how isolated we've become? Is it any wonder that our stupid little f

No offense intended, but what you describe sounds pretty dismal to me. We have what you describe where I live (France), but I prefer to go to the markets where I know the butcher/green grocer/cheese person/dried fruits and n

My favorite place to bike is Parc naturel régional de la Haute Vallée de Chevreuse (French people aren't into the whole brevity thing). I can't speak to hiking but I have to assume there are nice walks to be had in the area becau

Attitudes vary from person to person, but I don't really think being 20 minutes from nature really counts. I lived in Paris until recently and had a really rough time for a few reasons, but the biggest one is was the lack of green pla

The default is that it forces a restart when a new update has been downloaded, which has been a frustration for me as apparently it has been for the parent. Apparently this can be changed by requesting that FF only install updates with expl

Yeah, I found some boletes a few months ago and out of an abundance of caution took them to three different pharmacists in Paris and every one looked at me like I was a crazy person for bringing wild mushrooms into the pharmacy. "We do

I'm surprised to see morels aren't on the list. Anyone who confuses a morel for a false morel is _really_ not paying attention. On the other hand, there are toxic (not deadly) boletes that can more easily be confused for porcini

I don't disagree that pedestrians and cyclists need to be careful, but as someone who walks far, far more than they drive, I really regret that cars are king in modern cities. Even in Europe, where cities are often better than their A

I see two big problems. The science funding climate, at least in the US (I don't really know what goes on elsewhere) is in a really sad state. Projects with a low probability of success are really hard to get funded but that is precis

I don't think this blog post is really saying all that much. > Yet, it's good to write software in such a way, in which it is easy to replace one part with another when a better (for the time being) alternative shows up I think

Many people are quick to say that no one should trust an opinion piece (some claiming further that WSJ in particular is suspect). People should be cautious of anything they read from any source. Further, just because an idea is expresse

While I appreciate the sentiment generally, I think this opinion, at least expressed as it is here, is a little exaggerated. In this case the author is a doctor, which probably makes him more qualified than your average Fox News commentato

It looks interesting, but I feel the visualizations remove value rather than add it; too busy and abstract so they end up being a distraction more than anything else.

Thanks for the post! I just spent a very enjoyable bit of time on the first chapter of this book.

First impression is positive; relevant results and a reasonably straight-forward UI. I appreciate the warning about the slow-loading graph (which did load after a minute or two). Two things that might be tweaked: * The search didn't b

No, it isn't outdated. The claims are still issues. In the scenario you describe, multiprocessing should work pretty well because each processes can run independently of the others and report one big result at the end (all the hashes

I have to question the premise of such a service. The statements in the "Why Sunsama?" section are comically grandiose. I sincerely doubt that people who are "struggling to keep up" are hindered primarily by poor sche

Indeed we did, which helps strengthen my point that Airbnb disrupts communities. I put almost a year into living there, trying to get to know my neighbors, establishing relationships with local store owners and employees, etc. I've no
