A couple millions IIRC. Nothing "large" compared to modern transformer models.

I did that a few years back: https://arxiv.org/abs/2011.11751

Yes, CPUs are still the main workhorse for many scientific workloads. Sometimes just because the code hasn’t been ported, sometimes because it’s just not something that a GPU can d…

Looking forward to an electric car that’s not a gadget on wheels. Oh well that’s probably never going to happen

I'm not sure how I would do it otherwise, do you have an idea? The concept is that you can swap for the port you like, if that's USB-C then you have to choose between leaving the a…

I'm the first to complain about Tesla overselling their self-driving abilities, but I think the numbers used in this article are misleading. Miles per disengagements comparisons be…

So... Karaoke? Why do I have to read all of this to understand that they mean Karaoke?

For me, fish made my life instantly better without any real investment coming from bash. There are some incompatibilities, but I felt productive right away.

The parameters are the number of weights in a neural network, in this case.

He didn’t give a source, you didn’t either, come on I’m curious to know!

I think verbal abuse, when done a certain way, is tolerated in a way that other forms of bullying aren't. Unless there are threats or sexual harassment, people in power will usuall…

I interact the most with AFE (aide financière aux études) and FRQNet (grad school scholarships). These websites look like they weren't updated since about 1999 and are really, real…

Yep... that was a bit stressful

Québec's government has historically been incompetent regarding anything digital (a lot of their website are still barely usable), but I want to give credit where credit is due: th…

And that's without towing anything

The library of retro games on Switch Online is laughably small and is one of my biggest gripe with the Switch compared to the Wii (U).

I think he’s referring to the Académie which pretends to control what’s correct French or not. Of course as you mention, Québec has its own thing and does not listen to them.
