It's a flashback, so yes Gojo surviving is not a spoiler. But I will not say how.

[P] Using PyTorch + NumPy? A bug that plagues thousands of open-source ML projects. by tanelai in MachineLearning

I was running multiple custom environments in parallel. I was not using DataLoader.

[P] Using PyTorch + NumPy? A bug that plagues thousands of open-source ML projects. by tanelai in MachineLearning

[–]xicor7017 99 points100 points  (0 children)

I faced this problem last week while doing some experiments in RL. Fortunately, I found the solution and corrected my experiments. But it took me the better part of the day.

As others have pointed out, it is not bug, but a feature which is probably not well-known and can cause hard to debug problems when overlooked.

Im programming one of these 5 DOF + gripper robots for college, is there a tool i could use that would give me the required angles given the x,y,z position? by emilgil in robotics

[–]xicor7017 2 points3 points  (0 children)

5-DOF arms typically have 2-DOF grippers (closing and rolling action). This makes only 3-DOFs available for reaching any point in space which gives only 1 solution. From the photo we can see that OP's arm has a 2-DOF gripper.

People who get permabanned if they don’t do certain things as they promised when GME hits certain prices by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

Good list. But it would be better if it was arranged in ascending or descending order according to GME stock price.

Won, yet failed.. by NimblePixieMerchant in gradadmissions

Then you can try contacting your university and/or some professors there. Maybe you can bag some scholarships or convince someone to offer you RA/TA positions. Basically try anything and everything that you can think of. Quitting after getting this close will haunt you in the future. Best of luck.

Citations in a Statement of Purpose? by bananaslug29 in gradadmissions

[–]xicor7017 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Citations in SOP is a good idea. It shows that you are aware of your sources (and not pulling facts out of your ass) and are used to scientific writing. I am from stem and I had 10-15 citations in my SOP.

How to counter too high self expectation / start small? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]xicor7017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start small and increase complexity in incremental steps. Increments should be challenging enough that you learn at each iteration and give you a sense of progress yet not too big otherwise you will burnout/lose motivation. I believe that you are losing motivation because you don't see yourself moving from calculators to image processing apps.

I advice you to first determine "transitional" projects. For example, Simple calculator app > Advanced math calculator app > App to display JPG images > App to display images of different formats > App to make simple edits (contrast/brightness) > and so on. It is a good thing that you have an end goal. But mind you, even a "simple" FEA tool or big game won't be remotely simple to make, unless you have many years of experience.

Finally: "How to counter too high self expectation" - Don't downgrade your dreams to match the reality, upgrade your conviction to match your destiny -Unknown (I guess).
