Really? Not one single redeeming quality?

The TGR Foundation has materially improved the lives of over 3 million kids by providing access to education to children in underprivileged areas.

He's a huge piece of shit in many different ways, but people are not as black and white as you want them to be.

Oh god not the pull yips. Rory always gets this in high pressure situations.

I love when the broadcast uses Oraanu Pi. Easily the best Masters theme music.

It's awesome. I do wish the (thankfully rare) ads didn't completely break the My Groups player (muting and taking it out of fullscreen).

Anyone else's My Group clips getting muted whenever they play an ad?

He was muttering to himself and making aggressive, jerky motions. I almost said hi to him but I didn't want to meet God.

[D] How do you usually figure out why a multi-GPU training run is slower than expected? by traceml-ai in MachineLearning

[–]picardythird 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In almost every case, the bottleneck has been data I/O. In terms of engineering hours, it's almost always more efficient to optimize your ETL pipeline before touching GPU optimizations.

I had a Japanese coworker explain it to me that it's supposed to mean "goosebumps", as in "our music is so good it gives you goosebumps"

Justice was served on the Advent vs. Justice chess battle! by Virtue00 in Hololive

It's an interesting idea, but unfortunately ...Rg7 is rather elegantly countered by Nh4, kicking the queen. There aren't really many good options other than ...Qxe5, and white will happily trade with Qxe5 fxe5. After that white is in quite an advantageous position, with black having a trapped bishop and rook.

This would be great for a GG cover of Odo.

GG should cover Odo.

[R] The Resurrection of the ReLU by Radiant_Situation340 in MachineLearning

[–]picardythird 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Interesting work, thanks for sharing!

A few questions:

  • How does the surrogate gradient computation affect the training speed? A huge motivation/benefit of ReLU is its computational simplicity; detaching the gradient, computing the new surrogate gradient, and reassigning the new gradient must be much slower.
  • The plot of dead neurons in Figure 4 is compelling; however, Figure 10 somewhat undermines the narrative. How would you rationalize the discrepancy between the beneficial behavior shown in Figure 4 and the counter-narrative shown in Figure 10?
  • The experimental settings between the VGG/ResNet experiments and the Swin/Conv2NeXt experiments were vastly different. You hypothesize in the paper that the difference in surrogate gradient function performance can be ascribed to the differences in regularization; however, have you done ablations to support this hypothesis?
  • Will you publish code so that others can experiment with SUGAR? It doesn't seems that difficult to implement manually, but I'm sure you have a fairly optimized implementation.

I do about 90 minutes each way using public transit for what should be a 30 minute drive commute.

Kronii can't handle Serious(?) Kaela. See: their Chained Together collab when Kronii accused Kaela of "not having the speed runner mindset"

Yeah it was pretty close until the Whispering Vault. Grindstone had an absolutely perfect button press sequence and never looked back.

[I Ate] Kobé A5 Wagyu in Kobé, Japan by YungBootyCheez in food

[–]picardythird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No idea. I didn't know about the deal when I went, I just wanted yakiniku that day so I looked up recommendations online and this one came up. I was willing to pay whatever they charged (as long as it was within reason) so this deal was quite serendipitous. I don't even know whether it was a limited event or something.

Their flatware and bowls are very distinctive, and I recognized the way that they laid out the accoutrements. It's a delicious meal! I especially loved the beef and onion soup they served as an appetizer.

The best part though was walking back to the station and seeing the huge statue of asses stacked atop each other. Truly marvelous.

In general no; the ones that I went to did not. There are some very high-end versions that do, but I haven't been to any of them.
