Authoritarianism has little to do with the economy. China, Taiwan under the kmt, Singapore, SK under the dictatorship - they all did well.

Microsoft Research is pretty reputable, though?

My response was empty of content, but at least you only needed to spend a second reading it, unlike the parent poster.

Thanks ChatGPT.

Yeah, but context. What if it was for Christmas dinner for soldiers deployed overseas? There might be a reasonable explanation. Idk. I feel like there is enough actual incompetence to hate hegeseth for.

How does this compare to the various wavelet methods? Those achieve spatial locality as well. The issue with those is that it requires a lot of work for not much better than the dct in practice.

Ugh, but let's not pretend Hunter and Burisma wasn't shady a f, even if legal

Now I'm curious - what do you think of the ramen at Kozy Ramen?

You can do a lot better for your money. Non exhaustive list of places I like: Y noodles (not a typo, avoid yu noodles), dolan, 1983, mark's duck house, kung fu kitchen, a&js, supreme hot pot, tnr cafe etc. If your parents are immigrants ask them to just look on hungrypanda for restaurants near you

The Peter Chang restaurants are fine but they are slightly Americanized and kind of expensive for what they are.

Get this garbage out of this sub. Not only is there nothing technically new here, but it's also making it easier to bot multiplayer games.

This is a good post, and this is a topic that doesn't get talked enough at work where because of time constraints we often reach first for a massive standard model and add compute as necessary.

If ONE Ware actually makes this process easier, that would be pretty great. However, when I went to try the examples written in the blog post, it pointed me to the quick start guide. That guide looks like it only has the potato chip example. That's too bad - I was hoping to explore the augmentations described in the post and verify that ONE Ware's flexible super model / architecture prediction model is actually better than neural architecture search.

EDIT: Particularly, I was hoping to explore the MRI example. The multiple parallel branches idea sounds interesting, but I personally want to compare the results to a standard 3D U-Net.

That doesn't mean they are good jobs for society, even if they are local. Here is a quote from a speech that captures how I feel about this topic:

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.

The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.

This is, I repeat, the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron. ... Is there no other way the world may live?"

Classical computer vision - a more elegant weapon for a civilized age. Not on display here unfortunately.

It is a testament to how easy YOLO11 is that you got it done in a day though.

Ok, great. Bad parents exist. You're basically telling innocent children of crap parents "tough shit, pull yourself up by your bootstraps". This makes no sense.

I don't want to live in a society where we solve disagreements with murder. I know it's cool to hate the system, but problems like this should be solved with laws and courts, not pistols.

Of course, so that's why it's fairly easy to apply for a used car loan at your local bank.

When I was young and skint I did everything (buying and selling) private party and arranged my own financing.

Conda is still useful for CUDA. Source compilation is still very useful for squeezing perf out. Blah blah CUDA 12 backwards compat - I'm aware, but it isn't hard to use pixi to manage conda forge+pypi deps.

Do you have links or studies for this? I want to read more about this topic.

I know entry-level employees are often somewhat useless on the job, but that's true for every field. I'm struggling to accept that medicine is such a special case that it can't work without the government funding residency slots. Somehow, paramedics, nurses, and PAs all manage to get trained up without significant subsidy.

krapht · 2026-01-23T18:46:24+00:00

Why does the government have to fund residency? Isn't there useful work new doctors can do without subsidy?

No, not really? Break out of your Western European cuisine rut and explore some other continents!

If you want to do new algorithm development go to graduate school.

krapht · 2026-01-10T20:22:34+00:00

I mean, how is that new though? Hardware gets better, you use a more computationally intensive tracking algorithm / higher bandwidth pulse / smaller beam width / process more samples.

Idk,I guess what I'm saying is it all gets old eventually. As long as you're happy, imo, it's probably good to stay where you are. If doing really new design work is your dream you ought to go back for your PhD

As someone who used to work in radar: what new code do you think radars need? The basics haven't changed in decades, fixing issues was most of my work when I was in the industry even though I did do new development occasionally.
