  • (I know I’m two months late)

    To back up what you’re saying, I work with ML, and the guy next to me does ML for traffic signal controllers. He basically established the benchmark for traffic signal simulators for reinforcement learning.

    Nothing works. All of the cutting edge reinforment algorithms, all the existing publications, some of which train for months, all perform worse than “fixed policy” controllers. The issue isn’t the brains of the system, its the fact that stoplights are fricken blind to what is happing.


  • Without thinking about it much, my understanding was that each line of the stack trace referred to a real line, even though the block as a whole wasn’t a program.

    But! because of this comment I went and checked the lines of those stack traces. And in fact, they’re not real lines, just the C++ type expansion.

    That said I’ve got a another half as bad example that is real so Ive edited the comment to point to that example instead.




  • Can we get the links/receipts/examples?

    I’m onboard with the post, and glad to see Lemmy working as intended. Making a post (instead of silently defederating) is wonderful. That said, I think its very important to say “because of comments like X[link] and Y[link]” instead of “due to severity”.

    Imagine if the roles were reversed and the CCP was saying they’re “defederating from lemmy.world due to severity”. Members should be given the 1st hand evidence, rather than 2nd hand opinions/summaries.



  • I’ll mention some things others haven’t;

    Usually, like if a python package isn’t available, you can do half-nix by using something like python venv, and install everything like normal in venv. Or for rust, you get rustup through nix, but then let rustup do its mutable work, instead of literally managing crates through nix. It’s also possible to patch a lot of stuff into a nix shell for inter-op.

    When that fails, which it does, then its

    • docker
    • Tea (author of homebrew wrote it)
    • brew/apt
