The ability to share the work with non technical co-workers could be huge. You might be able to do everything with pandas, but Jim in sales is too busy casting staplers in jello to learn how to set up a python environment

It sounds so easy. I don't understand why I can't do it.
This would be weird having Riccardo in the AT seat, seeing as he was the last teammate who could compete with Verstappen, but it probably makes sense.
Balls. That's genuinely infuriating.
I hope you don't mind me asking, but two main questions come to mind when I hear about triple digit inflation.
First, is it normal to keep savings in another currency? I know in Turkey at least, it's common to save money in gold, but I don't know if either that or saving in, for example USD, is common.
Second, how do raises work in times like that? As things inflate at rates like that, your salary would so quickly become quite outdated. Are raises or job hopping common at that point?
And I guess a third question. How do you even life bro? I'm fortunate to live in a country with relatively high incomes and stable currency, and our 10% inflation hurt.
You know you can get ducks for free from the park, right?
Yes, the 1070 is substantially faster than CPU. Without benchmarking, I would guess 10-20x faster than a recent consumer CPU. In reality, unless you're interested in big NLP tasks or big computer vision models, a 1070 works just fine.
A 4090 might be 10x faster, so it turns a weekend job into an afternoon, or a month into a weekend, but plenty of real work can be done with a modest setup.
If I were building something from scratch on a budget, I'd look at the best 30-series Nvidia card I can afford. If you're using TensorFlow, TF32 is usually basically a free speed up, with PyTorch it's a bit less stable. You should be able to build a full system with a 3060 12GB for under $1000, or with a 3090 for under $2000.
Yeah this is one of the main uses for Reddit.
It might be harder with Lemmy instances spread across different domains, but hopefully the search engines learn to prioritize Lemmy well
I do 95% of my personal stuff on a desktop with a GTX 1070, often remoting into it from a laptop. Someday soon I'll throw a bigger GPU in, but the 1070 has served me well for years.
I find the sunk cost of building a machine encourages me to use it more. I don't mind running something for a week even if I have no idea if it'll work or not.
Same deal at work, but with much beefier hardware. In both cases, I'll spin up a cloud instance if I want some results faster.
They should do one surprise race every year for 10x points and throw a bunch of random CF shrapnel on the track mid race
The Gregorian calendar is pretty solid actually. Other than a leap second every few years, it'll stay in sync for a few thousand years. You can easily calculate all leap days in a one-liner.
365 is semi prime, so we could do a 5 day week, but that's pretty minor in the grand scheme of things. There isn't a lot to improve on the Gregorian calendar
