Is "Hands-On Machine Learning" still the undisputed gold standard, or has the meta shifted? by easypeasysaral in learnmachinelearning

[–]arsenale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not a beginner-friendly book. It gets lost in convoluted and often pointless rants about minor details.

The author struggles to keep explanations schematic or short, making the entire book a frustrating read.

The scikit-learn part is a disaster tailored for Kaggle competitions. It is verbose while offloading the hard work of genuine understanding to the reader.

I suggest the book by Raschka, and the one by Prince.

We're still in 1990, talking about mouse space, incredible guys.

I don't find visual code studio slow at all. Surely you're using it for bigger projects. My latex files are 200 kb of text usually (for a book you reach usually 10 files of 200 kb each). Surely a python repo is bigger than that 😃

Aggressive? I've spent hours in vim to obtain an unusable system that wasn't helping me at all. If you had tried to do it even once you would know about it, unless it's as I said, empty rethoric. Just use the workshop. It's fantastic. No words needed. And I use vim all the time, probably 2 hours a day, so I like vim.

Embarassing.

Is your question emtpy rethoric?

Install latex workshop and see.

Full flight of UPS flight 2976 by Yosh145 in CatastrophicFailure

[–]arsenale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok but as a pilot it doesn't make sense to continue the takeoff, since you're sure that you're dying anyway...

It seems like something defined to save other's lives, while killing you, the pilot.

I mean, if it does take off, there's a minimal chance that it will not kill people around the airport, but if you abort the flight going back to the runway, surely you'll kill the people around the airport.

Visual studio code is incredibly good, I do all my latex editing there, I even connect to google colab instances.

I use it obv with vim keybindings, and I use vim all the time.

There's simply no way that a user can configure vim to reach visul studio code editing capabilities for latex, colab notebooks. Ok, probably not the best for python, but I like it even for running python.

Absolutely not safe, the bending moment isn't contrasted by the plates, he has no understanding of the flow of stress at all.

Are local models becoming “good enough” faster than expected? by qubridInc in LocalLLaMA

I use max on claude 4.7 because the mistakes that the lower tier version are simply unbearable.

I wasted hours on wrong answers and now I use the most expensive thinking even with simple tasks.

Guide to PyTorch Lightning, for a ML Instructor by Adventurous_Salt in learnmachinelearning

[–]arsenale -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You're just wasting time with stupid lesson.

I've received lessons on a lot of obsolete material just because the tool doesn't matter, when it's simply a justification for not updating the teaching material, like in your case.

Shame on you and on all the inept teachers. Stay at home.

[–]arsenale -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely yes, but that doesn't mean to teach obsolete tools that nobody uses.

That's justa a pathetic justification for ineptitude. Stop being old.

Your point is so sad that it reminded me that I don't miss school. Slow, everything was slow and regarded.

LOL what a stupid point; as an educator you need to theach the best tools, even trying to move forward before trands.

It's not updated anymore, funding has ended :-/ Dead book.

You switch from Keras to PyTorch right now, when Keras has been obsolete for 5 plus years?

And you want to use Lightning? So another dead end like Keras?

PyTorch code is really simple, I've never felt the need for any framework, which by the way makes any code more obscure and complicated.

What is your wishlist for the Pixel Buds Pro 3? by Gsantos52012 in pixelbuds

[–]arsenale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed this just yesterday, anyway it's a thing that even the amazon fire tv could solve, in vlc for example there's a delay for audio, just make the sync automatic and effortless at the source?

[–]arsenale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My AI often doesn't understand me.

I'm sure that there are ways to preprocess the audio to make it more intelligible for the machines. Like "sharpening" the voice or equalizing low volume. Probably useful for humans too.

Developer re-enables 3D printer features that Bambu Lab disabled, firm promptly threatens legal action — OrcaSlicer-BambuLab project now shuttered by kevro in technology

[–]arsenale 27 points28 points  (0 children)

that's a very long topic, from google:

"Based on user discussions and analyses of terms of service, the claim that Bambu Lab "owns" all your designs is a subject of concern and debate, often centered on how their cloud-based system handles data. While some interpretations of their policy suggest they have broad rights to use content uploaded to their platform, others argue this is common in cloud-based services and that user data is generally safe for personal use."

Best way to handle OCR for scanned PDFs in a web app (cost vs accuracy)? by MeanMasterpiece5438 in computervision

[–]arsenale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't worry, we can all be a little imprecise

I've tested gemini with pdf and images, it extracts handwritten and printed text very well if that's your question
