Using `git config` is great. Another option since I don't always remember that command is `export GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -i "` https://git-scm.com/docs/git#Documentation/git.txt-code…

Surprisingly, ROCm support has been getting a lot better over the very recent years. In my experience the pytorch support is essentially seamless between CUDA and ROCm. Also, I kno…

Link to the podcast in reference, very excellent episode: https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/debunking-deficit-hyst...

Very cool project! Glad to see support for PBT and HyperBand. Also related to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/hyperdr...

Not to be confused with http://quilt.io/

The netmap project ( http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/netmap/ ) or intel's dpdk help with this and don't require super fancy non-standard NICs.

I totally agree. I was really excited about GSX when I first heard about them from Costco. However when you dig deeper into what they will deliver from Costco (or other stores for …

Good to know, thanks for the reply. Does this seem to change with instance type?

I was disappointed they didn't include internal network latency variability like they did with disk performance. I've seen EC2 have wildly different network latencies at times, but…

UCL and others have done (and are actively doing) really cool work on MPTCP. https://www.usenix.org/conference/nsdi11/design-implementati... https://www.usenix.org/conference/nsdi1…

Maybe check out Spark [1], it primarily supports Scala and they have great streaming functionality that seems to beat out Storm and others in terms of performance for some workload…

If you haven't already, you should really talk to http://cs.brown.edu/~rfonseca/

The NSF GRFP provides ~3k/month plus tuition and health insurance are covered. If you do a 3-month internship each summer on top of that you can get an extra $20k-30k easy. I am no…

How exactly would you be racking up debt as a computer science Ph.D student? You don't pay for tuition, you get paid a pretty decent stipend + health insurance and you probably wil…

I wonder how these would have compared to Spark http://spark-project.org/ Hadoop isn't really an ideal framework for this type of computation.

This is really cool. I would also be curious to see a list of what the top 10 major advancements in computer science were for 2011.

It is the tight integration with the current messaging application on the iPhone that will possibly kill sms. The average user does not want to go through some 3rd-party app to dea…

I agree, it would be awesome to have an open standard for sms. It is ludicrous that phone companies have been able to charge so much for sms as long as they have. One somewhat nice…

What I am curious about is if there would be anything stopping someone from paying the $25 once to convert all of their previously pirated tracks to "legit" 256 kbps AAC tracks...t…
