John is not only smart and knowledgeable, but an incredibly great person to know in general. I worked with him on a project briefly back in 2012 and he stood out as a champion for science, coding, and education. His posts clearly reflect him well.

Absolutely love these type of keyboards. But ... with how much security I work with for logins, etc, the fingerprint button on my Mac keyboards are amazing time savers that I don't want to live without. Has anyone found a workaround?

What I find odd is that definition of "investor" is not that clear. When you click through the links you get blocked at the data provider with no context. There's also a link to another post by the same news provider. When clicking through reference to the data source, the link doesn't work.

It would need to be more than that. A prompt for one model can have different results vs another. Even when the model has different treatment for inference, eg quantization, the same prompt for the unquantized and quantized model could differ.

Regarding the energy of lifting a 10KG weight 2 KM high is not a 1:1 comparison with the tech here. It's using an LED which much more efficient than a Kerosene powered flame, since most of the energy in the flame is spent in infrared.

Seaborn is my favorite statistical plotting package in Python. I wrote an astro plotting package that digs deep into the Matplotlib internals and it was not easy. Big props to the developer behind Seaborn and the great aesthetics he imbued it with.

The podcast is as entertaining as it is informative. It's really a goldmine of good resources/ideas and it's my favorite podcast to date.

You're correct, the likelihood of stars colliding is near zero, but the gas that forms stars in both galaxies will collide and
that will create quite a spectacular view. It will likely resemble something like this:

Great finds! This is the kind of stuff that Inspector Git aims to do. I'm honestly surprised how well it did with the Hadoop recommendations.

Your question rang with mine. Why is this on HN? Is there a policy about the content that posts should contain on HN? In the past 6 months it seems like much more non-code/hack/start up material is posted on HN and that's a bit concerning.

This depends on which field of study you're in. If you want to go to grad school for astrophysics, getting that high GPA score is important. But, I do agree that halving your time to get a B+ versus an A is good. This type of decision making shows that you're good at managing your time and setting your priorities right.

After reading Amped from Daniel H. Wilson, this post seems to strike the same chord as the book. Almost freaky.
