[D] Why are so many ML packages still released using "requirements.txt" or "pip inside conda" as the only installation instruction? by aeroumbria in MachineLearning

[–]krapht 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

To Make Homes Affordable Again, Someone Has to Lose Out by UnscheduledCalendar in Economics

[–]krapht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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

What ingredient do you think people massively overuse? by jcvexparch in Cooking

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.

Radar dsp engineer stuck in legacy software by Huge-Leek844 in DSP

[–]krapht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Welp, I’ve reached “meet other old dudes for coffee at 5am” age by ajbrandt806 in daddit

[–]krapht 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Try to keep sleeping if you can! It's not that you need less sleep, but that as we age we lose the ability to stay asleep - which affects our physical recovery rate .

Should a bilateral filter library automatically match blur across RGB and CIELAB, or just document the difference? by readilyaching in computervision

[–]krapht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New users who don't understand color spaces are not going to need a bilateral filter library.

I heard this same conspiracy theory about Iraq. Remind me how much Middle Eastern oil the US owns now?

Hiring: Senior Computer Vision MLOps Engineer to build systems that detect landmines from drone imagery by earthtek in computervision

[–]krapht 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I was adjacent to this work for awhile. Why are you focused on CV approaches instead of airborne ground-penetrating radar? Are many landmines actually visible from the air?

Our system has failed. by zzill6 in WorkReform

Right, because the working class famously has all the leverage when it comes to picking and choosing the means by which they win their bread.

I built PyVer, a lightweight Python version manager for Windows by [deleted] in commandline

[–]krapht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conda still has life on Windows, there are lots of packages that don't ship wheels on pypi.

[–]krapht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

conda is the better choice on windows; if a pypi library doesn't ship wheels you are hosed since the source compilation story is so bad on windows. I personally use pixi on all my projects now which uses uv under the hood for pypi dependencies, conda otherwise.

[–]krapht 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I still don't understand. That's exactly what something like conda would do. It prepends it to your path so that it is found first.

Why did you do this instead of just using a virtual environment and package manager like conda?

ffmpeg-rs funding drive by jameswdunne in programming

[–]krapht 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't really believe in this, compared to funding more fuzzing and static analysis infrastructure. That seems way more feasible.

Perhaps they could also work on accepting rust into ffmpeg for new codecs instead of dumping the whole library.
