LLM Kessler Syndrome.

Presumably the goal is to have a lot of chips at the end (more than you started with?). I would assume if you bet 10 chips, you get 10 for being right, and zero for not. So betting…

Might be worth pointing out that fp16 on a k80 is woeful.

Can't you? I have just been using the lightning class as a wrapper, with my normal model on self.model or something like this. Same for the dataloaders.

I like the idea of kubernetes, and (some time ago) worked through a basic tutorial. My main confusion is how to set up a development environment. Are there any guides you could sug…

I always had the impression that the incentive alignment between Apple and it's users was far better than any of the other big tech companies.

I'm curious - do you think affiliate links are a problem, and if so, why?

Yeah, my partner recently had to turn down a place at lambda for this reason. Hopefully you can sort the UK soon!

> histones are irrelevant, since prokaryotes don't have any Good point :).

The keyword to search for, if you are interested, is epigenetics. Modification to e.g. histone protiens can change the expression of genes through a variety of mechanisms. As far a…

This is a problem in most areas of scientific research. There is no incentive to publish negative results, so no one does.

I had a macro in emacs that wrapped the highlighted text in some xml tag (say ). Processing that I could label it however - e.g. IOB or whatever you fancy. The labelling didn't rea…

I did this a while ago (www.hnreads.com, bookbot.io). Manually labelled ~2k comments, trained a NER system, then validated the titles via amazons api. Was pretty easy once I had ma…

We just had a paper accepted after 11 months. There is no good reason for it taking this long. I wish biology would adopt the publishing practices of physics or machine learning.

I've moved completely from Vim to Spacemacs. I can't see myself going back to plain Vim any time soon. The emulation via evil is very good, and the layers provided are generally im…

I haven't regretted doing my PhD in the slightest. I've learned a huge amount, in a wide variety of areas. However, the system in the UK is a bit more favourable regarding funding.…

I like this idea! In my research we deal with relatively large amounts of sequence data, all of which needs to be associated with geo ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gds/ ). While g…

I made something last winter ( http://www.hnreads.com/ ), though I haven't fixed a couple of bugs or updated it since. I used named entity recognition rather than links to find boo…
