I don't exactly understand your argument.

Are you saying polyglot is better, and leads to dominance?

Are you saying, TensorFlow is more polyglot than PyTorch? Or if not, isn't that what your quote says, though? TF supports much more languages. Or what do you mean by polyglot?

But then, this would imply that TensorFlow would dominate over PyTorch? But the article says the opposite?
Third party apps decide how content is displayed, regardless of what comes out of the Twitter API. That's the problem for Twitter, from a business point of view.

It also sounds like a spin-off from the creator of the Wasa ship.

“From the creators of the ship that wouldn’t float, now comes the editor that won’t edit!”

No wait, that’s not a great slogan. Hmm.

Perhaps from the makers of Wasa knäckebröd

“You become what you code. Crunchy!”

Sounds like a weird slogan also heh
I cannot find the video right now, but there was a widely watched one exactly as you describe, where the controller issued a 'cletala' several times, and it was a very American controller, I believe in California. EDIT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=picf7sPEhi8
My wild guess? We will get AI driven UI Frameworks as a tool. You drag and drop stuff in there, it suggests already the basic stuff. Preselects sane filters and normalizes your data etc.

Downunder in NZ we are in a nursing crisis, no nurses, and the govt won't pay nurses well so they are forced to strike, exacerbating the problem.

We take in a lot of foreign health care professionals but the borders were closed over covid. Not to mention the govt fired any "heros" who didn't get the vax.

Even before covid my region was staffed by 'locums'. I never saw the same doc twice and one was visiting from California. Now we have a brand new hospital but don't you dare try to use it. It's some kind of neoliberal private/public experiment. You'll be charged for sitting in the ER waiting to be seen, and after 4 hours waiting with a laceration you're too swollen for stitches.

If you have some non obvious sickness, you're only seeing an ED doc so they're just another level of triage so they're not really troubleshooting effectively they just want you out the door. My partner, in incredible amounts of pain (from as it turns out requiring a fucked ovary to be removed) was told to practice mindfulness, until she could see a nurse practitioner of ob/gyn in maybe 3 months.

The GP clinic is inside the hospital but went from serving 1,500 to 12,000 due to the restructures.

OP: this is not a direct criticism of your idea or implementation (in fact, by the end, you might notice I'm not sure I even have a valid criticism here), just a general observation on a trend I feel is common on this sort of initiative.

I don't know about y'all, but I hate this idea of random 1-on-1s. Nothing sends my anxiety levels to the freaking roof as the idea of having to talk alone to a complete stranger.

Make it 3+ people, though, and I'm absolutely game for it. This is not about being reclusive/introverted/autistic/antisocial/whatever: I actually like socializing, and meeting new people (well, to a certain extent, but I digress). It's just that, at least for me, 1-on-1 interactions are the most intense ones, even with people you know, let alone with strangers. Group interactions put much less pressure in each person, and it increases the chances of having at least one more extroverted person to lead the conversation.

And yet, almost every single instance of this trope of "helping people connect through random pairings" is 1-on-1.

Maybe I'm the exception here, or maybe it's easier to implement 1-on-1 pairings, I don't know. But I'd love to see more things like this, but that didn't promote one of my worst nightmares as a feature.
The problem with the idea (for me) of letting people live with the consequences is that in the UK, I'm forced to pay a good chunk of tax (I think it's about 1/5th) on a failing health system.

Rough "napkin" math on this is massively over simplified but the NHS spent roughly £134 billion in 2019/20 (before covid). We have around 67 million people in the UK. That works out at roughly £2000 (~$2500) a year. I ended up spending 4 hours in A&E a few weeks ago trying to get some some antibiotics for a suspected infection because my GP just wouldn't call me back to prescribe them.

I would love to go private (and likely still will), but since I'm forced to pay into our NHS system, I feel like I have already paid for healthcare. I was quoted around £45 a month for private healthcare, which doesn't include the first stage GP visit, but some companies are adding on a handful of video call GP visits as part of the private plan. Bupa charge something like £80 for a 30 min GP visit.

Obviously I'm young and that cost will increase, but at this point I feel like the NHS is just enforced social healthcare thats no better than what can clearly be provided by the private sector. I've only started looking into this recently after my awful experience here in the UK and I'm sure I've missed a ton of factors.

My point is, if I'm forced to pay for healthcare from my tax then I expect healthcare for any issue I have in a reasonable time and to a reasonable quality. Opting out is not really a realistic option.

Regarding StackOverflow, PyTorch has a very active official forum: https://discuss.pytorch.org/

On StackOverflow, so many questions will get closed, as being too vague, unclear, duplicate, off topic, or whatever. I assume many people moved to the official forum instead.

TensorFlow also recently (much later) has such a forum (https://discuss.tensorflow.org/), but I think it's way less active.

This link just shows that the profit margin hasn’t increased. Record high profits occur when record high sales occur even if the profit margin is constant.

This link also only looks at gross margin - if revenues and gross profit increase, their fixed operating costs (rent for example is usually fixed for 10-20 years for grocers, or the site is owned by the grocer) are now spread over higher sales so their operating profit (EBIT or EBITDA) can increased dramatically.
Yeah, WWII was a much bigger deal than COVID. And we come out of COVID to discover what? Suddenly we've got war in Europe involving the country with the world's biggest nuclear arsenal. We've got some terrifying tensions in the Pacific with the worlds largest manufacturing superpower that is going to rip the region a new one of they go haywire. We should have been focusing on war and peace, not trying to innovate new ways of torpedoing basic liberties. Signs suggest we might be about to lose a lot more human lives than just 7 million in the next 10-20 years. I hope not.

But that wasn't the point I really wanted to make; what I'm trying to say is that we should be dealing with a substantially bigger emergency before the COVID response was justified. Seriously; how hard is it to just leave people alone to make their own decisions, and pass information to them to try and help them make the best decisions?
Just being pedantic here, but: if we take your approach to the extreme, we would only ever pick the one thing that maximizes joy. Eg say one week trips above are the coolest thing you can think of. then you'd compare any potential purchase against it, and it would fall short. So you'd end upmnever buying anything (except tickets for one week trips). Don't get me wrong, your strategy sounds sound, I'm just saying that it's too greedy of an algorithm to apply it thoroughly. A slightly improved strategy would be to instead think of marginal prices: how much would I be willing to pay for X, instead of another piece of Y. Ie, if you already had 10 one week trips this year, you'd not be willing to spend as much for #11 than you'd be willing to spend to go from from 0 to 1 trips or 1 to 2
Gnome assumes developers don’t have an insane amount of time to spend on their open source desktop apps. And that users deserve high quality apps that work well together.

So Gnome devs, seeing the vast majority of bug reports that developers of first and third party apps received were a result of the large number of configurations and extensions and customizations have decided to rein it back.

Doing so means Gnome developers can start with a smaller footprint which they will now expand to add customizations back in a supported manner.

It’s a different approach. The good thing is that with Linux different groups can try different approaches and users can switch relatively painlessly between them.

So far, having gotten a lot more responsibilities with growing older, I’ve found that letting Gnome pick sensible defaults, etc, and not requiring me to spend a lot of time and mental energy configuring stuff has meant that Gnome has been the most productive general use Desktop in my personal life (i3 for work life…).

> Lap infants are far more likely to be injured in-flight than other children: https://journals.lww.com/pec-online/fulltext/2019/10000/in_f...

In case anyone is curious, this source does claim that "lap infants" are more likely to be injured than other passengers. But the article defines "lap infant" as anyone under 2 years old, regardless of whether they were in fact in someone's lap. (In particular, some of these "lap infants" fell from the cot!)

Potentially worth quoting as well: "Scalding burns from hot beverages or soups spilled over a child during hot meal service were the most commonly identified mechanism of injury".

I just started learning the piano again, and using modern apps (such as Simply Piano) makes it actually fun. Ten years ago, I couldn't bear through reading sheet music, making mistakes and got discouraged. But now, learning to play is like playing Guitar Hero. You get instant feedback, guidance on what and how to play. It's great. We'll see how long it stays "fun", but atm I'm making progress every day.

> I have a gut feeling that the energy (and pollution) costs of building a house based on cement/concrete/bricks are a lot bigger than the opportunity costs you gain from not cutting down some trees in order to build the same house

You've overlooked the cost of shipping the wood from the Americas.

Wood construction isn't used as much in Europe because it's much more expensive. Apart from a few pockets of environmentally important old growth forest, centuries of industry and warfare depleted European forest.

Obviously it may never crash, and it never did, even with a bad comparison function.

But the JS engine does not protect against the page containing JS code that loops forever. How would it even do that?

Edit: Perhaps some misunderstanding: V8 "just used Quicksort", but it never used the qsort function from the C library. That would not have worked with garbage collection, since you can have a garbage collection in the middle of sorting, which could move the array.
I agree the number of attack vectors is significantly reduced in comparison to the same version of Android on a smartphone (particularly if the user is making little or no use of the music player's already limited app store). But there are still many, many CVEs for Bluetooth, for example. Taking the Bluetooth example, I would be happier connecting to a hire car's audio system with a version of Android that is getting patched than a version that is not, and may have known vulnerabilities. I don't want my DAP to potentially be a vector for transferring malware around.
The bottleneck is memory bus bandwidth as current Neural Net scaling is parameter count over compute so most A100s only operate at 60% of capacity.

Operator fusion ( function composition ) has helped but devs time is impacted by the ever growing list of fused operations.

This is a great overview of what Pytorch 2.0, TorchInduction, and OpenAI's Triton potentially bring to the table.

Namely compilation to LLVM bypassing CUDA, fusing operators and compiling graphs at a lower level allowing other arcitectures, kept out by CUDA's NVIDIA exclusivity, to potentially offer competeting compilers - other compilation toolchains are very early days though.

Backward comptibility is vital and the article details that these innovations are succesfully tested against existing Neural Net code.

NVIDIA still rules the roost in science and industry compute. In this rapidly growing market competition is healthy so this is a good thing for everyone - especially those differentiators like ARM competing on Watts per FLOP.

Great tip! Thanks for sharing that.
Are there any benchmarks how much faster or memory efficient it might be for parsing large csv files (~GB size) versus popular python or R tools?
Do you know how DAC/ADC circuits work? Build one that can handle one more bit of input than you have and you have overflow handling.
What I meant is it is not the device but the usage that makes the battery last or not and it is fairly easy to have a smartphone running for days.
I used to have 300baud writing to a cassette (recorder) but never the modem thing - i guess they sounded the same.
Are you following the sec/Secops/crypto(graphy) space? I think those were missing from my twitter TL a few weeks ago (the last time i checked).
I wish this were so, but I'm very, very sceptical. Everything I use is built to CUDA. Nothing actually works on non-NVidia hardware. "Actually works" is different from "theoretically works." A lot of what I use theoretically supports ROCm, but in practice, when you try to use it, you have enough bugs big and small, and things crash or don't work right.

That means everything I build is locked to NVidia as well, and everything people build on top of my stuff will be locked to NVidia too. Trying to maintain compatibility is like making Wine run Windows apps natively.

The lock-in is now very significant. Virtually no one else has shipped anything really stable and usable, and we're now a very long time into people coding and testing only on NVidia.

I hear that higher-level APIs are being built, nominally intended to be cross-platform, but I suspect (1) those will go the same way (2) we'll want backwards-compatibility. I have code which uses old ML models, CuPy, or otherwise. That stuff is locked to NVidia. I'm buying NVidia. This means I'm only making patches to bugs impacting NVidia. Network effects.

So long as most people buy NVidia, NVidia will have more engineering resources too. It's very hard for a smaller player to catch up or pass. See Intel for many decades.

To break from NVidia would require either a gross failure in execution by NVidia or something fundamentally new. To break the monopoly, I could see new products which might deliver:

- Very low latency

- Support for conventional DDR in large quantity (so I can run GPT-3 models at home)

- Much more general functionality (e.g. an open architecture, and integration with conventional Python to parallelize normal code)

... or other significant new features. However, I don't see a lot of stuff like that being worked on, let alone coming out.
> Hmm, not my experience. I do TS for years now and still today I'm spending more time on fighting/pleasing TS compared to the actual code.

What are you doing exactly? I like TS, because it's one of the easiest to use type systems.

I'm also intrigued that you used C++ and think TS is bad, C++ error messages are legendary for being hard to understand.
Yo fellow stupidpoler
But it's easy to develop any such killer apps in any of the ML frameworks. And there will not be a single such killer app, but there are many.

It's more a question what most of the community uses, esp the research community uses, as that is what gets into production first at some point. If you have your nice model already in PyTorch, why recode it in TF later?

So, the ML framework adoption always has a bias towards what's more friendly for the researchers, and developers.
CPU training was and continues to be one-tenth of the speed, dollar for dollar. It's not even close.

The inescapable trend is that bigger models are better models. So if you're doing this professionally, you're going to need GPUs not only for training, but increasingly for inference in order to get decent latency.

Fundamentally, you can't leave people to make the decision "spread the airborne pathogen" when that affects other people to this extent.

Obviously there is a limit - China has recently hit the end of political support for zero-covid restrictions, because they were extremely onerous even in an already totalitarian country.
My wife was in nursing school during/after the pandemic. One of her classmates/friends (37 year old mother of 3) was skeptical of the vaccines and wasn’t sure she was going to continue the nursing program because they were requiring vaccination. She contracted C-19 over the summer of ‘21, spent 2 months in the hospital before dying. Would she still be here for her kids if she’d taken the jab? It’s impossible to know, but more than likely she would have fared better than she did without it.
That's one of the main presuppositions in Lean Manufacturing that is so entrenched and so insidious. What's even more annoying is when managers who have worked in a Lean environment come over into our industry of steel fabrication (high-mix low-volume, where lean is low-mix high-volume), and they assume that 1) we're screwing up because nothing is consistent in our charts and graphs and 2) that if they just make us do Lean stuff, it will magically improve.

It leads to disaster every time.

The real trouble starts when sales can dictate what engineering works on. I did an internship at a company with a 10:1 sales:engineering ratio and it was living hell.

Everything was rushed. Nothing worked right.

To bring a contrasting perspective, I see nothing weird about meeting people one-to-one, and I see it as the most natural and efficient process for discovering opportunities.

Not everyone has a LinkedIn account, not everyone may know that “Naomi” is usually feminine, and the article run through a textual gender analyser does read as “masculine”.

Mis-stating gender might be careless when as you imply “their” is the always the safe bet, but it’s probably not enough to justify OP’s unduly critical response. He / she or they could have just replied with “I checked their LinkedIn and Naomi’s a girl, btw”.
