I've mostly used it for reading textbooks or academic papers (and taking notes on them) and it works fine for me. It can be a little small but you can zoom in if you need

It's likely because GPU calculations are non-deterministic and small differences in floating point numbers could lead to different outcomes (either in the way you described or somewhere deeper in the model)

That's not how the First Amendment works. Cornell University is a private organization and it can choose not to do business with people if it wants to, provided that it's not breaking other laws by doing so. Students get suspended

Many of my friends who are tech workers who've worked at unicorns and tech giants for 5-10 years bought their first homes in SF during the pandemic. I would guess part of the drop in rents is a shift in demand from former renters to ne

Rents are definitely down - or at least they were 1.5 years ago when I last moved. Before the pandemic, 1 bedrooms were usually at least $3500 and often $4000+. When I looked last January, there were decent places between $2500 and $3000. I

Do you have specific mathematical topics you're interested in? I have tried reading textbooks a few times to teach myself but found it hard to stay motivated, so I found a tutor on Upwork to assign and grade homework problems and answe

I like yoga but I don't feel that it's a super social activity. Maybe I just go to the wrong studios. Do you find that you talk a lot with other attendees? Or do you think the yoga itself is social?

Thanks for posting this! I found myself feeling quite lonely at the end of a 5-year relationship a few years ago and have spent a lot of time in the past few years trying to work through loneliness. I can't compare it to your situation

You can just do that by adding large hidden layers or more hidden layers, up to a point. But eventually the signal that's coming from the input data is so diluted through all the neurons and layers that your models stop performing bett

It's kind of funny watching SGD slowly get closer and closer to you, and then overshoot. I was surprised that it's so much slower than me at learning this task. But then again, my brain is probably devoting a lot more computing po

I agree with you that it's definitely about who you know - if you go to Stanford, you can get better jobs out of college compared to someone with similar skills who didn't. But I worked at a FAANG (or whatever it's called now

As much as I love hip hop and electronica, and as difficult as it is to make excellent music in those genres, it really is very easy to make okay music. Have you ever used FL Studio (formerly known as FruityLoops)? I remember downloading it

Right - I think generally having a variety of energy sources is also good so that we can have a smoother power generation curve during the day rather than the big peaks that wind & solar generate. Eventually, we'll (hopefully) have

I don't think this article successfully describes "why" SF is dysfunctional. I agree that the government is bureaucratic and slow, and the school system is terrible, and our government is corrupt. That's the "what.&

Will we ever run out of CAPTCHAs that computer vision can't solve? When reCAPTCHA was started, it used difficult-to-read letters to digitize books, but that's long gone at this point. It seems like Google's been feeding us al

As others say, it's about the size of the port. But it's not only that those ports can't handle more ships - it's also that many of the ships in operation are so big they can't fit in smaller ports. I know that Oakl

I just read through it. They introduce a lot of evidence from their forensic analysis of the Silk Road servers, but they don't seem to explain how they got access to the servers. Did anyone find that in there?
