Worth noting that using a gaming card for workloads like this would likely void the warranty.

My small act of rebellion is to select exactly one incorrect cell each time.

This is going to be a random comment, but the thing that struck me most was how close this person's Github username is to my own! github.com/chrxr vs github.com/chrxh. Feels bizarr…

Looking back at this comment, I realize now that it's pretty pointless... just excited to play with stuff. Sorry folks! Enjoy your day.

Now I feel bad about my planned two-parter on my elaborate blog setup :)

I think this is catering to a specific audience who is not me :) I actually find that the complexity of self hosting is the interesting part. I did this to learn stuff. Seeing as I…

I recently moved my personal website ( https://chrxr.com ) to a static site in a rather complicated fashion. I use Wagtail as my CMS, so I dockerized it and put it on an ECS cluste…

TTS is great for 40k, although moving a large amount of pieces can be a pain. There are a huge amount of model scans available, and the community has put an immense amount of effor…

But how many applications of soldiers overseas are there other than in the advancement of imperial aims? Dubious peace keeping claims? I understand this is a very subjective topic,…

If the learning experience is simplified to listening to a lecture, either live or recorded, and all grading is done algorithmically, then yes, there is no scaling limitation. This…

That may be the case, but I would guess other insurance companies will buckle under similar pressure. Perhaps I'm being naive, but it seems like the worst kind of PR nightmare to f…

Not true at least for many Blue Cross Blue Shield areas: https://home.bluecrossma.com/coronavirus

That sucks if that's true for your insurance provider. Here in the US it is not always true. For example, Blue Cross Blue Shield in MA are covering expenses for testing and waiving…

Relevant precedent: Harvard recently settled with National Association of the Deaf, resulting in all videos made publically available after Dec 2019 requiring captions, and a requi…

That's not the point of the glass cliff. The point is that women are more likely to be hired as CEOs when a company is in trouble than when a company is in good shape. It is specif…

One of our academics at Harvard does exactly this via their lab website.

Whilst it may not have been Blackett or his team doing the research, research in this area does seem to have been done(1), and there are books and papers written about it(2). 1- ht…

I wrote a GA for picking an optimal Fantasy Football (soccer, Brit here) team based on player scores from the previous season(1). The team did above average, even though it was hob…

In the article itself, Liverpool are correctly referenced throughout, without "The".

The philosophical implications of this are the subject of one of my favorite web-comics: The Machine, from Existential Comics http://existentialcomics.com/comic/1

Can anyone tell me if young people listen to podcasts? Like people under 16? I found something that suggests 7% of listeners are under 17*... I just wonder with an audience split l…

It might just be me, but reading right-aligned paragraphs with all that white space to the left is quite painful. My eye naturally drawn the left edge of the page at the end of eac…

I remember looking at the site a few (maybe five?) years ago and everything was a bit of a mess. They've really pulled it together since then. It's really great.

For those like me, and like many in the UK, whose maths education ended at 16, I can definitely recommend Khan Academy for learning or relearning pre-calc stuff. The videos are sho…
