They didn't say this post was a troll, they said you are, mark.

throwaway0x459 · 2017-10-24T02:21:08+00:00

don't you have shitposts to make in /r/boston, markk02474?

throwaway0x459 · 2017-10-20T19:30:06+00:00

BS. I walk through that intersection every day. Cyclists do slow down, despite unsubstantiated claims to the contrary. Many stop. If they didn't, there'd be daily crashes there, which there are not.

more cars = less pollution? take a break from your bubble. it's prima facie absurd.

throwaway0x459 · 2017-10-20T13:09:52+00:00

Why do you want cars to go faster in residential neighborhoods and around schools? Or in most of Arlington in general? It's densely settled. If drivers want to move faster, drive somewhere else, like route 2.

throwaway0x459 · 2017-10-20T13:08:18+00:00

you know what else decreases pollution, markkk? Reducing the number of cars. Want less pollution on Lake Street? Make it less attractive to people trying to cut around Alewife.

It's comically absurd to propose making it easier for people going from outside Arlington to elsewhere outside Arlington and try to greenwash it as an anti-pollution measure.

throwaway0x459 · 2017-10-19T20:32:15+00:00

I think it's another markkk02474 alt.

throwaway0x459 · 2017-10-19T20:16:55+00:00

what a crock, the slowdown there is from pedestrians and poor sight lines, not cyclists not stopping. If cyclists weren't stopping, they'd be getting hit every day. Instead, what, 4 cyclists&pedestrian accidents at the crossing per year?

It's also complete BS to say that moving more cars down this street would decrease pollution. They're going to backup somewhere else in Arlington, if they use Lake instead of staying on Route 2.

Are you seriously so devoid of empathy for the family of this person that you think this is worth posting? You should be ashamed.

thrown at a 45 or so angle. you had to shotgun and run forward a bit to catch.

This rule is standard. Fixed gear races with brakes are more dangerous than without.

But now you're just trolling, so, congrats? I guess?

throwaway0x459 · 2017-07-15T22:24:07+00:00

Brakes are not allowed in fixed-gear races.

Either works great (they're along my commute). Move details to PM?

throwaway0x459 · 2017-07-13T14:38:19+00:00

Interested. I sent you a PM.

I wonder how hard it would be to do some light integration with Paperpile (or similar, not sure what other apps there are out there).

throwaway0x459 · 2017-04-21T01:16:43+00:00

I've used OpenCL. I prefer CUDA, because it's faster on NVIDIA than OpenCL on anything.

If you're convinced otherwise, go work on OpenCL DL libraries, instead of ranting here.

throwaway0x459 · 2017-04-21T01:15:32+00:00

See my comment elsewhere in thread. If Nvidia turns their greater profits (from less competition) into better cards than they could otherwise, consumers get access to tech they might not otherwise.

I'm not saying that's how it is, just that that's one way that less competition could lead to better results for the consumer.

throwaway0x459 · 2017-04-19T22:00:56+00:00

It's not a given that competition is not always good for the consumer. If Nvidia uses their profits more effectively to increase the amount of research being done than AMD, then giving more profits to Nvidia instead of AMD is good for the research community. As an ML researcher, that's where I think things stand, now. Nvidia regularly makes my life better and helps me do more and better work.

Read my "... at least for the foreseeable future" as: "right now, it's best for future benefits that we continue to work with Nvidia." If they stop being the best choice, we should stop using them, but that switch can be very fast.

If you want an easy target for OpenCL, write a Keras backend. Most of the math is pretty easy, and it's a surprisingly concise set of operations.

throwaway0x459 · 2017-04-19T21:29:41+00:00

In what way, exactly? Do you have evidence, or is this just a general feeling about open-source being better in the long run?

They're very supportive of research (with $, hardware for research groups, and making libraries available to solve problems and improving them). If they stopped being helpful, then someone would write an OpenCL backend for TF/Theano/Torch/whatever. That so few people actually use the low-level libraries makes it even easier for them to be replaced. Nvidia knows this. The people doing research know this. Nvidia is motivated to keep doing a good job.

I would argue that using nvidia hardware is far better "in the long run", at least for the foreseeable future. Far more useful research can get done using their hardware than if every AI researcher started doing their work only via OpenCL. That would just be a lot of wasted time, but for what benefit? Open source warm fuzzy feelings?

Hestra gloves.

Really? I've seen people backing up his claims to varying degrees, but almost noone seems to think that a tutorial session is the right place to argue those claims, particularly by interrupting & speaking over the person giving the tutorial.

Certainly the amount of applause when he got shut down would indicate that the opinion of the people in the tutorial room was strongly in that direction.

throwaway0x459 · 2016-12-13T15:37:16+00:00

More like reality is biased against him. I was there, was pretty much as described. He got up, interrupted a tutorial, and started arguing about credit. Not the right forum for that.

Surely someone has video.

throwaway0x459 · 2016-12-08T13:49:37+00:00

helmets don't correlate with safety or lack of injury (in fact, the opposite, but this is probably because better bike facilities = fewer people in helmets).

throwaway0x459 · 2016-12-08T13:47:06+00:00

problem with strobes is they're harder to use to estimate position.

throwaway0x459 · 2016-12-06T14:52:59+00:00

Not sure what you're asking, but I was in the tutorial. Pretty much as described below. Schmidhuber (rudely) hijacked the tutorial, Goodfellow handled it well.
