tgog··on Standardizing OpenAI’s deep learning framework on PyTorch
yes but you can't pay me enough to get me to learn Julia
tgog··on Camera vs. Lidar
This completely neglects the fact that humans can build near perfect 3D representations of the world with 2D images stitched together with the parallax neural nets in our brain. This blogpost briefly mentions it in one line as a throwaway and says you'd need extremely high resolution cameras?? Doesn't make sense at all. Two cameras of any resolution spaced a regular distance apart should be able to build a better parallax 3D model than any one camera alone.
tgog··on Decrement carbon: Stripe's negative emissions commitment
Sequestration means literally filtering CO2 out of the air. Offsets are essentially just a contract that someone who would otherwise have created emissions, won't. For example, instead of deforesting an area I own and selling it for wood, I might sell an offset contract and keep it intact.
