I believe that white collar crime deserves the harshest punishment of all. It’s committed by intelligent people, premeditated and generally abuses a position of trust.
I've prototype on a collab notebook and have been using AWS GPUs for training. Having to jump through hoops for quota and the general anxiety in trying to optimize the costs led me to just build a machine with a 1-time upfront cost. As a sole proprietor, I can write off the capex against future revenue anyways and depreciate it.
Dope, 7 days is a pretty nice turnaround. I went with a 'custom' prebuilt so I could plan for adding additional cards once they're well supplied. You might run into trouble with the PSU, case clearance and mobo throughput if you plan on adding another 3-slot 3090 - those are all sub-1k though so you can always swap once you need to!
I just went this route to build a ML workstation. I was able to get a prebuilt with a 3090 for ~30% of a comparable build on https://lambdalabs.com/.
Now I just need to wait until next year to get the second 3090. I considered waiting for the new A4000s to launch to see if they'd have better inventory but figured 3090s have additional value as a gaming gpu.
I'd be curious how professional ML folks are fairing and what they're using -- it's not too late to cancel my build.
I believe the IRS would investigate many small donations under the gift tax. An analogy would be restaurant servers claiming their tips as gifts and thus not disclosing it as income.
I’m sure there are clauses to avoid abusing gift tax as a loop hole for providing a service.
The stock is counted as income when it is exercised. The basis is the strike price then, once you sell later it’s considered either capital gain or loss. My understanding is that you can only apply 3000 in capital loses to income tax liability.
I wanted to point my root domain (hosted by Google) to the Heroku app DNS target. I was able to solve this by using Cloudflare instead, with flattening.
Anyone have any recommendations for a managed Compute/Postgres stack that’s less than 100/month? I was trying Heroku but frustrated by the single port per container and lack of static ips.
I went to a FAANG interview today without preparing and was asked 7 leetcoding problems across 5 interviews. Even the behavioral one included a leetcode problem.
Most interviewers seemed to give an easy problem followed by a medium/hard. I think I succeeded, purely based on years of doing leetcode in the past and having a job at another FAANG-like.
I see tipping as a form of profit sharing. If a server or barista gets more volume for the restaurant, they get a cut. Often times, servers leave at the end of the night with $200+. I used to be a valet and was paid $5/hour but would make easily over $100 in tips.
