If you are going to run a long training job, ensure you are creating checkpoints. Be sure to use persistent storage, EBS and ensure that you check the option that it doesn't get deleted if the instance is stopped, so your checkpoint remain in the disk and you can easily restart.
I haven't tried it but prices here are much cheaper. https://vast.ai/#pricing
Now I just browse, collect only as much tabs I can read in 1-2 days. Hoarding hasn't done me any good. So I just don't do it anymore.
But why do I browse so much of twitter, HN. I think it is FOMO, but also a bit of a lack of purpose which I think I have atleast partially solved for now.
Or maybe its just curious minds can't stop when there is more information out there as said by one of the comments.
Not if the hard classes or new subjects have the same level of grade inflation. On the contrary, if students have nothing to fear about hard classes messing up with their grades, they are more likely to take them.
Most kind of grading schemes are subject to manipulation. Students always find ways to game the system. Teachers are often biased toward giving grades that are correlated with past performance of students.
Its better to have harder courses with pass/fail. The top students will have more motivation to pursue subjects they are interested in. Grades are not great motivators for students at the top. Richard Feynman, Albert Einstein (or insert your favorite physicist here) were never motivated by getting grades that look better than their classmates.
Only major issue is that how to make the admission process fair when there are no grades. Despite all their downcomings, standardized tests solve this to a large degree. When grades are not standard, students who come out of a fairer grading system suffer compared to the ones with inflation. Good luck trying to explain this to the admission committee or whoever else.
It only took me 5 minutes for the whole thing.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6201904/ This talks about IOP changes on using smart phones. And it increases more when done in low light.
I saw a lot of links for myopia in children and links to light exposure https://www.aao.org/editors-choice/sunlight-exposure-reduces... https://iovs.arvojournals.org/article.aspx?articleid=2705915 These articles are talking about overall exposure - spending time outdoors and find it to be of statistical importance.

"For recognition tasks, visual acuity is greatly affected by the level of background luminance. (Graph)
One theory put forward by Hecht is that within the rod population and within the cone population, there are differing sensitivities which are distributed randomly. Therefore, at high luminance, all cells are active for a high level of visual acuity. At low luminances, only cells sensitive to that level of luminances are active and because they are distributed randomly, the retinal mosaic is coarser thus a lower level of visual acuity is achieved (Graham, 1965).
Another possible explanation is that under limited quantal availability, quantal capture is more probable in the para-central and peripheral retinal due to greater spatial summation. Since photoreceptors density in this area is low, resolution is poorer. As light levels increase, quantal capture occurs more successfully at the central retinal (macula and fovea). A higher level of visual acuity is achieved due to the high photoreceptor density. "
I am not sure what all of these terms mean but I guess some good sources for you to check out. Do share if you find something interesting.
For more context, my eyes became much healthier after I increased the brightness of my monitor to 60% (250nits) since last 4 months. Before then I used to regularly use it at 10% (40nits). My power numbers were getting worse and I even had high IOP, which has improved now.
The 100ms -> 1% line comes from amazon. https://dexter.agency/blog/100ms-faster-1-more-revenue-how-s...
I feel time-to-interactive is more important than just the page load as a user, so I can see why it would matter.
There is a trick in remix which improves user experience somewhat. https://twitter.com/ryanflorence/status/1547959632663961602?...
Qwik also saves on network bandwidth. The benfits of qwik will be felt most on slow network connections and old mobile devices.
Feel free to correct me if I got something wrong.
The search actually used to be better earlier, it would show you the message and also the messages around it, now it doesn't.
I have a very decent build at home, new gen amd, 64gigs RAM, the linux desktop app still crashes, it slows down during search whereas slack runs like a monster compared to it.
Whenever a message comes, the tab will do its best to get you out of focus, sucks as a programmer in the zone. I had to mute lot of chats.
Actually no one at work used the teams features, it was only the normal chat. It sucked because there wasn't even the reply feature earlier and we still can't create threads.
It doesn't integrate with any bots, jira or git.
The people who make the decision on what comm platform to use don't need these features. They use email for written coms, and teams for calls.
They feel opting for something other than teams or jira will look bad on them if it doesn't work.
