Ah yeah that’s def preferable if you don’t have a reason to build yourself.

As a practical solve, are you setting TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST for your particular GPU before the install? You can google the right version for your GPU.

Can say more about what causes this if helpful, I got a bit nerdsniped a while back by how heavy templating makes the kernels so big.

Been a minute since I lived there, but a few ideas— Fairstate’s probably my favorite, mix of great IPAs and some odder (but well done) experimental-ish beers.

Also great are Lake Monster (a lot of really solid, more sessionable stuff), and Lynnlake (great at a lot of styles that I love for fall).

You don’t need to compile all your packages on Linux anymore :)

Check out pak/p3m, which has pre-compiled binaries: r-in-production.org/packages.html

Kevin Munger has both some great descriptive work and meta scientific argument articulating the value of descriptive work for fast moving topics like social media platforms in his book The YouTube Apparatus!

See also his temporal validity paper for an articulation of the metascientific point.

I need footnotes within footnotes, that’ll make everything much more hinged

Pivoting slightly, you said “God, what have I done?”, so you’re now a pink pony girl and you dance at the club.

The example that motivated this post was “making actually good simulation studies”, which I was lucky to get in grad school, but lots of folks didn’t it seems.

I appreciate the correction here- will say it’s very hard to be like “yep that’s fake news” when the real news is like “Musk pushes refugee status for white Afrikaners”.

Ordered two books as a result of this thread :)

Cool!

Any chance you have a time series source handy? Or just tracking manually?

I read through a bunch of stuff in Chris Bail and Jon Haidt’s collaborative syllabus a year or so ago: docs.google.com/document/u/0...

Of stuff in there, I’d say Chris’s book Breaking the social media prism is what I rec the most/got the most mileage from. press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...
