The Asian Financial Crisis in 1997: deregulated capital flows allowed speculators to rapidly pull money out of countries like Thailand, causing their currencies to collapse. The IM…

I've only had great luck with the LLMs(chatgpt 3o) generated Perl code. It was able to synthesize code for a GTK2/3 application fairly consistently, without generating any syntax e…

Definitely Andrew Ng's courses, especially for concrete explanations.

I think it might be a moot point since the transformer run times scale very poorly and the algorithm has a symmetric run time.

I noticed that as well. Is there actually any reason he might've pissed off bunch of rustbros or are these just more baseless accusations? Also, everyone should know if you have so…

Seeing that Microsoft hired Lennart Poettering a while ago, I don't think they ever intended to compete with the Linux market share by pushing Azure. It seems more like EEE from th…

It seems to me that any technologically advanced civilization that is capable of completely annihilating another at such distances would likely be equally capable of avoiding detec…

While I can appreciate some of the intent to make certain healthcare more accessible, it is never a good idea to have anyone inexperienced attempt to perform some of the reactions …

Russia is not formally at war with NATO, and the indictment specifies crimes committed against 26 other member nations.

For a while it seemed like they might have it out in a cage match, can we just do that instead?

With the type of work the NSA does, I can't imagine many of the didn't know who Grace Hopper was. I expect they did it out of respect for her, rather than for the benefit of the ge…

I just paid $5.3k in the US for four 350mg doses of Albendazole (antiparasitic). This medication is something like $2 or less anywhere else in the world. This is not simply a probl…

This is exceedingly bad advice as there are several spongy mushrooms which are toxic in the US: Bolete Huronensis, Sutorius Eximius, Boletus Sensibilis to name a few. There are a f…

Some of the arguments about Perl and bad engineering practice are not entirely without merit. Neglecting 'use strict;' or 'use warnings;' in your script typically makes this more a…

Necessity is the mother of all invention. This could just be related to socioeconomic factors.

This is why I hate when anyone puts this guy on a pedestal. I can't be certain about his level of knowledge in most things, but with comments like this he regularly demonstrates la…

Ah, I think I remember bookmarking this when it was posted before. You really don't have to go very far in computing to find a frontier where most everything in described pure math…

I appreciated the notation in Goodfellow book as well, it was easy enough for me to follow without having a strong mathematics background. I'll agree however with others that this …

This is the probably the most succinct explanation, and as an experienced perl developer, I admire your brevity.

This is essentially my problem. I started writing programs at a young age and was introduced (unknowingly) to many more advanced mathematical concepts from that perspective rather …

As someone who has a deeper knowledge of programming rather than math, I find the mathematical notation here to be harder to understand than the code (even in a programming languag…

It's a difficult plant to grow as it requires specific conditions. Though there are farms in the pacific northwest that have been able to cultivate it successfully. Here is a decen…

I don't think it has anything to do with your fever- the post looks like autogenerated garbage. Below they were speaking about "planned obsolescence of compilers" which makes no se…

For any side of conflict which is playing zero-sum, there can be no negotiations which are beneficial to both. Only one side has to commit to this strategy to condemn the other sid…

I've noticed quite a bit of propaganda which is intentionally conflating these two pairs. That is, those who are advocating for Gazans are referred to as Hamas supporters and those…
