I've mostly used it for reading textbooks or academic papers (and taking notes on them) and it works fine for me. It can be a little small but you can zoom in if you need

Surge AI ( https://surgehq.ai ) | Software Engineers (full-stack or applied ML) | Full-time | SF or Remote Our mission at Surge is to build the human infrastructure powering the ne…

It's likely because GPU calculations are non-deterministic and small differences in floating point numbers could lead to different outcomes (either in the way you described or some…

That's not how the First Amendment works. Cornell University is a private organization and it can choose not to do business with people if it wants to, provided that it's not break…

Many of my friends who are tech workers who've worked at unicorns and tech giants for 5-10 years bought their first homes in SF during the pandemic. I would guess part of the drop …

Rents are definitely down - or at least they were 1.5 years ago when I last moved. Before the pandemic, 1 bedrooms were usually at least $3500 and often $4000+. When I looked last …

Do you have specific mathematical topics you're interested in? I have tried reading textbooks a few times to teach myself but found it hard to stay motivated, so I found a tutor on…

I like yoga but I don't feel that it's a super social activity. Maybe I just go to the wrong studios. Do you find that you talk a lot with other attendees? Or do you think the yoga…

Thanks for posting this! I found myself feeling quite lonely at the end of a 5-year relationship a few years ago and have spent a lot of time in the past few years trying to work t…

You can just do that by adding large hidden layers or more hidden layers, up to a point. But eventually the signal that's coming from the input data is so diluted through all the n…

It's kind of funny watching SGD slowly get closer and closer to you, and then overshoot. I was surprised that it's so much slower than me at learning this task. But then again, my …

Looks like it's written by hand in raw JS. Here's the training loop: https://github.com/victorqribeiro/bangBang/blob/master/js/De... and here's matrix multiplication: https://githu…

> This gets to the other mistake Diehl makes in that article, which, ironically, echoes a similar mistake made by many crypto absolutists: there is no reason why the Metaverse, or …

I agree with you that it's definitely about who you know - if you go to Stanford, you can get better jobs out of college compared to someone with similar skills who didn't. But I w…

As much as I love hip hop and electronica, and as difficult as it is to make excellent music in those genres, it really is very easy to make okay music. Have you ever used FL Studi…

Right - I think generally having a variety of energy sources is also good so that we can have a smoother power generation curve during the day rather than the big peaks that wind &…

I don't think this article successfully describes "why" SF is dysfunctional. I agree that the government is bureaucratic and slow, and the school system is terrible, and our govern…

Will we ever run out of CAPTCHAs that computer vision can't solve? When reCAPTCHA was started, it used difficult-to-read letters to digitize books, but that's long gone at this poi…

> Why would a company pay more than they need to? I would pay 4x the price for grapes if required. I don't as I would prefer to spend less on grapes. I think it's because they coul…

You could always buy Bitcoin with the money you saved

As someone who grew up there I'm a little biased but I think Portland, OR fits your needs almost exactly. It's a city people move to for the lifestyle - interesting culture, good f…

As others say, it's about the size of the port. But it's not only that those ports can't handle more ships - it's also that many of the ships in operation are so big they can't fit…

From my understanding of this issue, that money is "owned" by the Apple stockholders, and is incorporated into the company's stock price. If a corporation has a lot of money, its s…

I think the difference between now and ancient Rome is that we're used to a higher standard of living, and technology and information are more accessible to all. I think by "unsust…

Your own source for the fourth point, the map of offices, actually does show an office in upstate New York. Look again at http://appendto.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/100-Remote.…
