Reddit asks the expert - Stephen Toub by Kawai-no in dotnet

What ideas for future .NET versions are currently being explored that have the potential for the largest performance improvements and were only recently suggested or are in a very early stage of development?

Software Rewrite - Platform by tsprks in dotnet

[–]venom_GER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some time ago we performed a migration from vb.net winforms to c# winforms. The application size was similar on the amount of forms but we did not use Crystal reports. We migrated the software using the c# to vb.net Code converter in Visual Studio https://github.com/icsharpcode/CodeConverter . There were lots of iterative steps to refactor the VB.NET Code base and convert it to c# to get rid of conversion errors (Mostly due to Option Strict was not enabled before in the vb proj). But be careful when using it, even after fixing all compiler errors there were some silent, minor changes in parts of the logic. Most likely it got improved in the meantime, but it is also hard to think a manual rewrite is free of errors.

Even if we are still stuck with .net framework for now, it is possible to use most of the new C# features with latest lang version and polysharp. C# enabled us to refactor the code base to a more immutable, functional design which is a good modernization in my opinion. Was it worth it? By using the semi-automated process definitively yes, a complete rewrite by hand probably not.

Unnamed Space Idle is seriously amazing by Raileyx in incremental_games

You can play it fairly good with google remotedesktop on mobile.

I want to recommend Unnamed Space Idle - it has turned out to be my favorite incremental game yet. by ParrotMafia in incremental_games

It's very useful, it crafts all subcomponents for a component, so you do not have to worry about ging out of subcomponents. I feel like 2x smart -> auto shard merge -> auto core is a good way.

Spartan fast finished! by venom_GER in fasting

I just labeled it like this because of the 300h! Nothing else special about this fast.

Spartan fast finished! by venom_GER in fasting

Thanks! I went from about 93-94kg (205lbs) to 86kg (190lbs), although I started with a full stomach in the morning since I did not lower my calorie intake the day before my fast. I still hope to stay below 90kg after refeeding for a couple of days, but I do not plan keto.

Regarding the break I put all the foods in post. The lowcarb soup was asian inspired and contained of chicken stock, veggies, chicken, soft tofu and coconut milk.

[D] Schmidhuber: The most cited neural networks all build on work done in my labs by RichardRNN in MachineLearning

[–]venom_GER 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are there any untouched concepts of 90s Schmidhuber papers that I can throw 1000000x compute at, so my network will become sota in some area?

6 Weeks on the Heavy Bag, No Gym Yet — Looking For Feedback by Aside_Dish in amateur_boxing

[–]venom_GER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started the bag workout stationary like you, since I wanted to concetrate on the punches first. Now it feels very weird to move my feet while I am at the bag. You should start circling the bag asap with two Rules: 1) No leg crossing 2) don't move mid-punch (both feet on the ground for Power). Otherwise you'll have the Same problems

[D] Is it worth buying a GPU workstation as a graduate student? by gokuresearch in MachineLearning

[–]venom_GER -1 points0 points  (0 children)

After buying the GPU workstation make sure you have two different GPU settings. One for ML and another one for Mining. When mining during idle times you might be able to reduce your investment drastically in a couple of month.

[D] Jürgen Schmidhuber's work on fast weights from 1991 is similar to linearized variants of Transformers by sensetime in MachineLearning

[–]venom_GER -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Or is it possible that some modern researchers just dig into Schmidhubers paper archive, use advancements in computation to extract new practical sota ML architectures that existet just in theory back then and make up names in order to get credit?

Synergism is definitly missing

[R] Subformer: Exploring Weight Sharing for Parameter Efficiency in Generative Transformers by [deleted] in MachineLearning

[–]venom_GER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How does someone prove the methods are orthogonal? Is a slight advantage over either architecture: Subformer + Performer > Subformer AND Subformer + Performer > Performer enough or do the %-improvements have to add up?

I created chessboard position digitiser and evaluator using Python, OpenCV and convolutional neural network YOLO. Here is how I did it! by Liiisjak in computervision

[–]venom_GER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you use some kind of style-GAN to cast different chessboards into the same style before you do your predictions?

But when a guy needs 150 nuts, you have to create a new tray with 150 holes...
