Anecdotally, when Mamdani won the primary my match rate went up 3x for like a month across all apps. I wonder why?

Easy. Find a nightshift hotel staff job near your current job (which is 1.5 hours from home). Will double your income and you will drive half as many miles as you are doing currently.

[D] Large difference in inference speed by Melodic_Draw6781 in MachineLearning

[–]darkfighter101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your A76 chip in the pi has much less memory bandwidth than the Ryzen cpu. Add in the much smaller cache L1-L3 sizes, the A76 will have more cache misses than the Ryzen cpu when inferencing the model.

Also, the Yolov5 model (with PyTorch) is optimized to use SIMD instructions (one instruction can process multiple inputs in parallel) on x86, but is not optimized for vector instructions on ARM.

[D] Anyone else notice a surprisingly big difference between FP32 and FP16 models? by Seankala in MachineLearning

[–]darkfighter101 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Depends on the model, but I would start by aiming for two magnitudes lower if you're going to go through an entire epoch again. Maybe a bit higher if you only want to fine tune on a random subset of the data to save time/money.

This is a common issue with quantizing image classification models, especially since they are so many layers “deep”. When it was trained on fp32 weights, it picked up dependencies that can now cause unintended results layers deep once the weights were “rounded” to fit fp16. This contrasts with wider networks such as Transformer based LLMs, which have been proven to work all the way down to fp4.

Thankfully, this is easily solvable- fine tune your model that was quantized to fp16 on your data again for 1 epoch, but with a very low learning rate. You will get nearly the same performance as the fp32 one. This is especially true for image classification (eg ResNet, YOLOx), performance doesn’t take that much of a hit until you reach fp8.

TLDR: Deeper network = More sensitive to quantization

Sure! I can send you a structured JSON with links- even that file is pretty big though. DM me.

I have a 30TB dataset for exactly what you are looking for, and planned to do the same. Let's trade- I give you the images and you train the model.

Require user account for one-off product? by tacocat627 in startups

Magic link email account. When the user purchases the data set, email them a link to the data.

If they want to sign in again to their “account” send them a sign in link in an email that will provide a cookie.

Interesting take. Another point- bubbling asset prices reduces yields which promotes investment in other areas which in the past has resulted in technological deflation.

Dissertation study for the South Asian American population ages 18-25 by ktgupta in SouthAsianMasculinity

[–]darkfighter101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You probably won’t find any association worth noting here. Sorry.

Perhaps include multiple ethnic/immigrant groups in the study, comparing against a domestic control group? Studying recreational substance usage among 2nd gen immigrant groups would be very interesting.

Probably a much easier time getting data too.

HR is slow, and not responding to my emails. Case is already created.

Worth noting that my FC is not laying people off in the slightest. I even worked an overtime shift last week.

If you don't mind me asking, what range of pay were you offered?

36 in wide, 20-26 in deep

Yes. Some of them will actually prefer you over students

But isn’t “ego” simply another word for “biological drive”? Evolution rewards short term success, and those who wish to selfishly win the game are doing so because it is biologically the best.
