    With all my recent ML PhD knowledge I cannot even explain how the model is able to do this. Surely the data distribution doesn’t have all possible responses to all possible linux c…

    A bit of a controversial opinion: to those who are defending CoPilot saying it "boosted my productivity" and would miss it if it is discontinued, maybe you are not a productive dev…

    Not great, but I think it is an acquired taste. TRAMP makes it _feel_ as if you are working locally, with some caveats. I like the fact that I can use dired to quickly navigate my …

    Yes, it is my second year running with Emacs after ditching VSCode. While I miss the remote editing capability of VSCode, working on a shared HPC cluster made me finally use Emacs.…

    If you are like me who subscribes to Jim Browning’s channel you know this technology would eventually be misused by scammers. Does Mullvad has any plans to counter it?

    I'm always amazed at the rampant patent trolling that happens with deep learning papers/ideas. In this dump, if you search with the names of famous researchers in ML (such as Yoshu…

    While being a student, I can’t. Also, if your intention is to move to Quebec you are technically not eligible for PR in Ontario. However, many folks these days opt of this path tho…

    My point was mainly directed at both PR and naturalization aspects of Canada that was mentioned in this post. Even if you are not a student, the road to PR in Quebec is long if you…

    Is there a Vim equivalent of Snippets lab? I recently switched to using vim-wiki which I think could be used in this way to store snippets, but I do not know yet how to configure q…
