@ademan Apparently they are pretty rare, I only saw one on all of amazon and another person linked me to one off of amazon.. otherwise I never saw such a thing... Pretty happy with my purchase though these green keys sound like a thousand angels tap dancing on the head of a pin.

@denza252

I see it now thanks

@nosleep @jeff@pl.i2p.rocks @lebronjames75 @dude

@noellabo very cool!

@noellabo I dont know what that is, but I know I want one!

@denza252

Did you intend to tag us in response to a post?

@nosleep @jeff@pl.i2p.rocks @lebronjames75 @dude

@rodolpho Just got it in, you are the first message im responding with... love it.

Even though the keyboard itself looks generic and plain once its all lit up it actually looks pretty top notch. Nice and heavy good material and the keys feel amazing.

@FailForward I think honestly it would encourage more reckless behavior..

Even if you were driving extremely wreckless your chance of dying within 3 minutes would appear very low, even though in reality its a high number.

Imagine a gauge that said 1%, most would think that would represent pretty safe driving. But if sustained that would represent a 1% chance of death over 3 minutes but a much higher 18.2% chance over the course of any hour and a 33.1% chance over 2 hours.

Presuming you commute an hour to work and an hour back once a day (something not hat uncommon) its a 86.6% chance of death in a week.

Humans have a very very bad perception of exponential growth, which is what such a gauge would show, an exponential growth factor. So most humans would probably die a **lot** faster if they had such a gauge ironically enough.

@mur2501 I think it was a bit over 10K when i built it

@FadedCornkernel@mastodon.social Thanks

@tatzelbrumm very cool!

@lao

ML is such a diverse disciplin with countless algorithms that dont really resemble one another in any meaningful way for there to be a single answer to this. Different boards are better for different algorithms and applications, it just depends.

@Science

In case anyone wants to check it out, this is my dev computer. I work on massively parallel algorithms a lot of the time so I need some really heavy duty GPUs for GPGPU (those are 4 watercooled Radeon Vega Frontier Edition GPUs) and a 32 core Ryzen 3.7 Ghz threadRipper CPU, and 64 gigs of the fastest ram around. this baby is a **beast**

inb4 why the Radeon GPUs and not NVIDIA or an Intel chip... simple, they are better for many/most applications but not all. The CPU and motherboard supports the full number of channels to maximize throughput into and out of the GPUs. So while they have fewer cores compared to a Tesla the cores dont tend to be the bottleneck, the I/O is, so i sacrificed cores to max out the I/O channels where the bottleneck tends to be. AMD and Ryzen ThreadRipper CPU were the only ones doing that.

@doltamalte Sorry competent wasnt the best choice of words... lets go with "useful" or.. "can provide information or advice I didn't already know"

Also keep in mind we are talking about GPs and nurse practitioners here, the sort I'd see if i asked about eye drops. No doubt experts and specialist in quite a few fields this wouldnt apply to them. My spinal surgeon for example certainly knew more about surgery than me and I wouldnt go operating on someones spine and think I am as competent as him.

As for a proper eye exam, I'd agree, if i needed one I'd go to an eye doctor and get one, that isnt something I can do myself. but thats unnecesary here as I already know the cause, condition, and cure, there isnt much to examine. This has been something I had my whole life and have had my eyes examined multiple times when I got new glasses.

So in short, I agree, there is plenty many doctors could offer, but in this case none of that applies and there is nothing useful a doctor would or could do for the situation.

@Diptchip I would need to find it, I think its in the qoto git somewhere and chances are i have it open-sources (I usually do).

I will be happy to look when i get a chance, feel free to browse the repo in the meantime and see if it pops out to you. I cant remember where I put it, it wasnt crazy complicated or anything and probably not too much worth salavaging other than maybe as a "how to get started" tutorial if you wanted to do the same.

@Science

@doltamalte because most eye drops dont need prescriptions. Plus I dont find doctors to be very competent most of the time, I try to only use them when i absolutely need a prescription or a test that I cant do myself. Even then I tend to go in already knowing what I need and make the request directly. Occasionally they can offer some good suggestions, but that seems to be the exception rather than the rule.

@doltamalte Oh god no. No doctor would be stupid enough to prescribe homeopathic scams... besides you cant prescribe them, they are water, they dont need a prescription.

If a doctor actually recommended them they would probably get sued.

@fortifieduniverse cool, id imagine the right AI could do some interesting music.

@smithy That is not remotely unusual, its called a margin call and they can (and often will) do it. This is normal operations happens on a normal day.

They can only do it on the portion of your stock that is on margin, they can not and will not do it on the portion of the stock that you own that is not on margin.

@lupyuen LOL it does, though keep in mind I was doing electronics as a hobby since my age was still single digits.. I was soldering by 8 or 9

@lupyuen they are amazing for teaching and just hobbyists in general. I have a pile of them i throw on pretty much every project to have a bit of a readout even if just for debugging.. their amazing, they are so cheap their almost free :)

Its a big step up from when i got started in the 80s with the Vacuum fluorescent displays that cost a noticeable chunk of change (especially to a kid) and couldn't even output english letters half the time, just numbers.

Attached one for reference in case anyone reading this doesnt know what they are.
