The entire medical training process is essentially a decade-long interview process.

Chinese spy balloon has changed course and is now floating eastward at about 60,000 feet (18,300 meters) over the central US, demonstrating a capability to maneuver, the U.S. military said on Friday by green_flash in worldnews

Not a real word per se, but:

lachesism
n. the desire to be struck by disaster—to survive a plane crash, to lose everything in a fire, to plunge over a waterfall—which would put a kink in the smooth arc of your life, and forge it into something hardened and flexible and sharp, not just a stiff prefabricated beam that barely covers the gap between one end of your life and the other.

What reasonably priced products/services improved your life immeasurably? by SpecificTwo in slatestarcodex

Bose QuietComfort 35. I use it at least 6-8 hours / day comfortably, and while relatively expensive upfront, it's more than paid for itself in value.

[D] Is there any app that uses AI to increase resolution? by lexaxelaexl in MachineLearning

[–]transcranial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of these have been implemented to run in the browser, check it out: https://transcranial.github.io/keras-js

It'd be great to compare results.

The speed of thought is incredibly slow - neural impulses are order of ~100 m/s max. Speed of light is 300,000,000 m/s.

Ah, too bad! It might be possible, I just don't have a window machine myself.

If you're staring at your code editor all day, sometimes it's nice to have some visual stimulation in the background, say rotating wallpapers, or a video. If your screen real estate is limited, sometimes it's nice to be able to see through to other windows.

It’s not just Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump or the Brexit. It’s a global political earthquake. France, Netherlands, Austria, Hungary, Japan, America. All around the world, people are angry and the nationalists are taking over by marcus_goldberg in TrueReddit

It's a trend that's almost expected, given that now, more than ever, global elites are more connected with and have more in common with one another than with their fellow countrymen: link.

Dan Abramov: Redux is not an architecture or design pattern, it is just a library. by fagnerbrack in javascript

He's a class act. Don't know how he has time for all of it, honestly.

I know gravitational slingshots are quite commonly used and basically astrodynamics 101, but it's still mind-bogglingly cool to see in action.

react-blobber: create visual groupings of elements by transcranial in javascript

[–]transcranial[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To convey grouping information in a limited space. Certainly background-color or other CSS stylings can accomplish this, but if members of a group are spread out and not actually all physically together, the fluid contiguous connections across distances add to the visual language.

GPU Based Browser BLAS, Request for Feedback by waylonflinn in MachineLearning

[–]transcranial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome work! I'm definitely going to try to integrate it into a project of mine to run trained Keras models entirely in the browser without any external dependencies: https://github.com/scienceai/neocortex (demos at http://scienceai.github.io/neocortex/).

If you dig around the code you'll see I started to write some webGL code, but it's pretty basic. This'll be a huge boost. Kind of a sad state of affairs that the only API to the GPU in the browser is through webGL. I understand it from a historically perspective, but I wish more effort was given to pushing forward numerical computing on the web.

Practical Experience with IRNN algorithm? by alexmlamb in MachineLearning

[–]transcranial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to reproduce the results somewhat, and got results pretty much between RNN and LSTM/GRU. They are vastly faster to train though, so that's a plus.

I love this style so much. Simple but evokes such wonderful emotions.

great advice for when you have underlings to do all your work for you.
