He is a pretty respected and known (former)reviewer in the tech industry. Used to be a writer for anandtech for many years, and now does some kine of consulting for tech companies. But most importantly, he personally knows, and as far as i know is respected, by both ltt and gamersnexus.

troye888@lemmy.onetoMachine Learning@lemmy.ml•[Solved] PyTorch Lightning is bottlenecked by the CPU
3·3 years agoYup this, if you would like more help we need the code, or at least a minimal viable reproduction scenario.
I might be open to the idea, but it would need to be a trustworthy company that doesn’t cancel stuff left and right. An ide would be too annoying to switch constantly to take this risk.
(What do (you) mean? ( Lisp certainly has its (downsides) and (upsides)))

Programming•[question] has anyone here applied for a Jetbrains "Competitive Discount"?
3·3 years agoThis seems more focused on commercial license holders. here paying for your ide is not that uncommon, and also the amount of revenue to be gained is a lot higher. That being said I always found it a bit weird that jetbrains didnt make clion free for non commercial use as they did with pycharm/intelij.

Chat@beehaw.org•How long do you keep dailying a phone after the security updates for it end?English
4·3 years agoI am not planning on saving any nuclear launch code on my phone any time soon, so I’ll use it untill it lasts. The end of life is more of a “dont fix the phone if it breaks from now on” date for me.
I’ll be starting with the andrej karpathy neural network series. Might not be reading per se, but I find it high time I actually go through and learn fully how each part of a neural net works together, instead of focusing only on small parts.
Well it only has 1 user according to the Mozilla store, so no surprise that no one had heard of it.
I honestly have no clue. I mean I know we eat rice, but wouldn’t say we eat a lot of it. And while we do have a large immigrant percentage, not a significant amount of those are from regions where eating rice is popular.
I have found it nice to use for large types (nested containers, lambdas) which are only used once, and I would not necessarily want a typedef. However I also dont like using it too much its basically trading up coding speed for reading speed. And tile and time again it has been found that the latter one is done a lot more.

Chat@beehaw.org•Anybody else wishing this summer would just go by quicker?English
8·3 years agoI for one support becoming a walking skeleton
Those certainly also look nice, did not notice those
I have been out of the ml world for a bit (like 6months lol …) And I already feel way out if date. It seems like I should pick up the vicuna llm, didnt want to touch llama initially due to the legal problems with it. I thought that would be a problem for a while, and then they went and solved it. Somehow even missed the news of it, most likely due to the enormous amount of news comming from the ml world (I might need a model to abbreviate it). Anyways thanks for the article I know what to do this weekend.

Programming•Postgres Full Text Search is better than ... (Part 1)English
2·3 years agoThe second part has some of this, but not as in depth as i’d like.
Back in the day before university (around 6 years ago) I got recommended a mooc(massive open online course) by the university of Helsinki. I used this course to get started with learning to program, and to find out whether it was something for me. It has been some time, and it seems they update the course but I hope it can help you too in learning. Here is the link: https://java-programming.mooc.fi/. It really starts from 0, with setting up te environment which is nice. It is in java using the netbeans ide which some would call antique, but in my opinion that does not really matter to start to learn.
The most interesting part here I find is the cost analysis. Was quite surprised to see that the cost to train it on current hardware would have been a third of the cost it was back when they were training it. That is like a 3x improvement in a year/year and a half. I winder whether this trend will continue.
Admittedly it probably was a bit easier back then, i just had the fun of searching for a job after uni, and plenty of companies wont even talk unless you have experience or a degree. Kinda bullshit, because some of the best software engineers I know never went to University.



I still am not sure what to think of this entire thing. It feels that at a certain point someone started playing some circus music, and they forgot to turn it off.
