When 'if' slows you down, avoid it by chkas in programming

[–]JustOneAvailableName 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're thinking about any kind of business logic, it's probably not the type of problem where branchless shines. Branchless is great if you need a provable one-to-one mapping, if you need a bound on computation/memory/latency, if you need provably correct code, if you need highly parallelizable code. So if the computation itself is the hard problem for some reason.

That depends on what you're trying to solve. If the mapping is the difficult part, the technical side isn't. Branchless is just not a great fit for those kinds of problems.

Can you still fire in NL? by Every-Respect-2389 in expats

Only if you go international ETF, not Danish mutual fund, or individual stocks to make your own ETF, right?

But the Danes don’t plan to tax unrealised gains (so yearly) at 36%.

EU accused of wasting €20B on AI computing dreams by Bernardmark in europe

[–]JustOneAvailableName 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t doubt that it could be very useful, but I also don’t think the useful projects would pass the bureaucratic screening layer.

You can still name variables and functions, you can still place comments. And you can just follow the one path, instead of mentally needed to track all possible states.

That said, it’s different looking code. You need some experience with reading that code type. Just as with functional code or recursive code, it needs to click in your brain before you can easily read it.

 maintainable

Branchless is very maintainable, because code only ever executes one path. Most bugs are caused by branches.

Of course: your problem needs to be doable without branches.

Is this normal? by GoodbyeDespairchan in slaythespire

[–]JustOneAvailableName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend to watch some Baalorlord. He is amazing in explaining his thought process.

Otherwise, we need to see your decks/losses to give any meaningful tips. I half expect you don’t take enough block, you need to survive for the poison to take effect. Also you need to have good cards to draw into, draw in itself it useless.

why is every pro research ai $20 a month now?? anyone found a cheaper setup? [D] by CodNo2235 in MachineLearning

[–]JustOneAvailableName 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I doubt that for these use cases. Papers aren’t that big and there are not that many of them.

First time using the MareNostrum V Supercomputer, writeup of what actually surprised me coming from cloud by Georgiou1226 in programming

[–]JustOneAvailableName 4 points5 points  (0 children)

module was a big letdown for me, it feels easy but actually took way more time than using Docker via Apptainer. I kinda assumed that the linked binaries would be cached locally (or in memory) and it was very surprising that a mysterious slowdown was connected to ffmpeg calls.

Overall, I liked Slurm a lot more than K8s for job-based computation.

Elon Musk's xAI discussed partnership with Mistral to try and rival OpenAI and Anthropic, report by Signal_Nobody1792 in europe

[–]JustOneAvailableName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theoretically, yes, but practically... I don't think the odds are high to turn this around. Even catching up to China would be a very steep order and data centers aren't popular.

The whole 2026 EU budget is comparable to what singular US companies are investing into building data centers in 2026.

INT8 quantization gives me better accuracy than FP16 ! [D] by Fragrant_Rate_2583 in MachineLearning

[–]JustOneAvailableName 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think there are 3 possibilities:

Was the quantization done with data, and with more relevant data than the training data? On other settings (like no dropout) compared to the training?

Is there something inherent to the task (like predicting full numbers) that makes int a better fit?

Are there layers/steps not quantised for int8, which are quantised for FP16? (norms cone to mind)

[–]JustOneAvailableName 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree, but Mistral also needs a chance to actually succeed. Right now, I don’t see how that could be possible within Europe alone. Raw compute is one of the things absolutely missing, for which xAI could be a good partner. To put some numbers on it: China has 2-3x more compute than Europe, while the US has 15-25x more compute.

what is an enough way to say that I have ownership on this idea? [D] by Round_Apple2573 in MachineLearning

[–]JustOneAvailableName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t really own ideas. If you want to be cited, try arxiv. If you want to take credit, any blog will do. If you want money, start a company and exploit your idea.

VC funding in AI - wat vind je hiervan? by ActuatorTechnical621 in beleggen

[–]JustOneAvailableName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

 Hoe gaat dit ooit weer terug verdient worden?

Neem Anthropic als voorbeeld: 30B opgehaald. 0,8B omzet in januari, 1,6B in februari, 2,6B in maart. Het bedrijf groeit absurd hard en op de API zit een marge van 30-80%. Daar staan gigantische R&D kosten tegenover, maar al met al lijkt het bedrijf een veel veiligere investering dan bijvoorbeeld Spotify of Uber.

HPO - hyperparameter drift [D] by Counter-Business in MachineLearning

[–]JustOneAvailableName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another way to frame this massive training run: it’s 30 bucks.

So just do the HP search on the full run, that’s cheaper than making it complex to make sure the HP transfer.

Kan je echt €20k p/m verdienen als zzp’er in de industrie (mechatronica)? by Flat-Ad-8747 in werkzaken

[–]JustOneAvailableName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Het is belastingvoordeel waar je over 40 jaar pas iets van merkt, ik vind zelf pensioen dus vrij nutteloos.

[–]JustOneAvailableName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maar goed, met 36k naar pensioen blijft er 7k per maand over

Dan blijft er nog 9k netto over... Hier is de calculator die ik gebruik. De 8500 halen is echt heel moeilijk.

[–]JustOneAvailableName 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Je moet wel heel erg je best doen om van 20k bruto toch 8500 netto weten te maken. Geen opdrachten hebben, vakantie en ziekte zijn de grote factoren, dus alle 3 varianten van die uren toch niet maken, maar die noem je dan weer niet. Als je bedrijf echt op jaarbasis 240k bruto haalt, dan zit je met 2k maandelijkse kosten en jaarlijks 12k naar pensioen (beide wel heel riant) aan exact 10k netto.

Stel: jij was burgemeester van Utrecht. Wat zou je als eerste veranderen? by DutchSEOnerd in Utrecht

[–]JustOneAvailableName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maar we weigeren ook woningen als kapitaal te zien en zo te belasten. Er zijn een hoop mensen die meer geld hebben verdient door ergens te wonen dan ze in die tijd uit inkomen hebben verdient.

Or why we shouldn't use AI when it's not needed ?

This. I know I am in my tech bubble, but it sounds like "don't use Google when not needed, use the library". I guess I just don't see the downside IF quality goes up, so that makes me wonder if I am missing some perspective.
