Meta has been itching to kill FBlearner for a while. Its basically an airflow style interface (much better to use as a dev, not sure about admin, I think it might even pre-date airflow)
They are mostly moved to MAST for GPU stuff now I dpn;t think any GPUs are assigned to fblearner anymore. This is a shame because it feels a bit less integrated into python and feels a bit more like "run your exe on n machines" however, it has a more reliable mechanism for doing multi-GPU things, which is key for doing any kind of research at speed.
My old team are not in the super intelligence org, so I don't have much details on the new training system, but there was lots of noise about "just using vercel" which is great apart from all of the steps and hoops you need to go through before you can train on any kind of non-opensource data. (FAIR had/has thier own cluster on AWS, but that meant that they couldn't use it to train on data we collected internally for research (ie paid studies and data from employees that were bribed with swag)
I've not caught up with the drama for the other choices. Either way, its kinda funny to watch "not invented here syndrome" smashing in to "also not invented here syndrome"
I went on a road trip through Southern NM a couple years ago. Highly recommend stopping at Gila National Forest - it's a certified "dark park", remote enough from sources of light to see the Milky Way with the naked eye.
One thing that struck me - towns down there had a template. 90% of towns we drove through were just a blood plasma "donation" center, a dollar store, a gas station, and a cemetery. Very bleak existence out there, oil and gas boom notwithstanding.
I haven't seen anything like that. The biggest factor you can clearly point to is that NM has some of the lowest salaries for doctors combined with some of the highest medical insurance premiums.
If you live there, and don't agree, then I stand corrected. I was told this by someone that lives there, but that's a sample size of 1 (from Albuquerque).
People won't like how you said it but there is truth to it. Pretty much all students from my uni who went on exchanges to the US said the level over there is much lower and they were way above the local students.
This was not the case elsewhere, most notably in Asian countries.
AFAIK that was mostly due to a silly detail about MD5 hashing being restricted on FIPS compliant systems? Or something like that. I'm pretty sure there's an easy workaround(s).
there were a bunch of reasons. couldn’t bring compiled binaries onto the red, so you had to bring the source + all deps onto a machine with no external internet.
I moved from Santa Fe County (Rancho Viejo area) to the Denver metro area and am sad every time I go outside at night. We could see the Milky Way most nights.
The NM sky is amazing during the day, too. Such a vibrant blue!
Did you ever fully acclimate? After 3 years at 6000 ft I still had lower blood oxygen than at sea level. (per apple watch, so take that with a grain of salt)
I can only speak anecdotally about my experience when I was young and now that I am much older. When I was young I went from about 69' MSL to about 6780' MSL when doing a job at the Air Force Academy and we dared each other to run up some stairs. We made it about half way up and fell over laughing and gasping for air. Our team chief that smoked about a half a carton of cigarettes a day walked right past us shaking his head. For about a week or so I had some pressure in my leg near the hip but it cleared up.
I am much older now and a couple years ago I retired/moved from about 600' MSL to 6300' MSL and it took about a half of a year for my body to adjust including some pain in my legs with some associated popping and other weird pressure like feeling similar to what I had when younger but it took longer to go away. Probably too many decades behind a computer and not enough walking. I've had no feelings of self defenestration.
Isn’t Apple Watch and other blood oxygenation just measuring saturation (a relative measure)?
Among other things, Acclimatization involves producing more blood-oxygen carrying capacity (or less if you go back to sea level), which is an absolute measure, not a relative one that the oximeters would pick up.
I've been here 4+ years now, and other than being 4 years older and just coming out of a sedentary 3 year period, I notice zero effects of living (and running, cycling, swimming, hiking) at altitude. Can't say any more than that really.
what is the new training platform
I must know
