Special purpose CPUs that perform lower precision calculations that are fine for neural nets. You need 64 bit floating point for weather prediction, but 8 bit integer works OK for some neural calculations. The previous CPUs could downshift to smaller numbers, but were not proportionally faster. The new ones are. NVIDIA, Google, Apple have special neural chips.

I've been building dashboards and data visualizations for 30 years and run an analytics dept of 40 people and this is a really awful dashboard. If nothing else, ditch that pie chart

We've been using it for at least three years. Personally, it's changed my life. It's made me into a better cook altogether, even when not using their recipes, and tbh even taught me how to better shop for ingredients on my own (for the days when I don't make a Hello Fresh). Its also introduced me to a ton of food I didn't know about.

Yeah dude, I gave it a shot. I expected leftovers if I’m here eating for 2. Granted I intermitente fast and eat after my workouts but I really expected more out of these meals. I don’t see the difference between having Instacart pickup recipe ingredients and hello fresh - except that I can specify pasture raised animal products to Instacart…

This is timely. My partner and I recently won a contest that came with 6 free boxes, so we've been using this to offset our grocery bill a bit. I've been wanting to make a "starter pack" meme, but this is a much more useful examination.

I see what you mean, but there are a couple “design taboos” here that would never fly if you do data visualization. The red dots are connected, which is a problem when you don’t label all the countries (I can see bends to zero in between, which suggests missing labels of countries. If the line was unconnected and became dots, we would have a scatter plot which would help us identify the issues in the x axis. The red line is hiding the x-axis missing countries, which was my point, not that a line can’t go to zero but that it did go down to zero so many times. Now a more speculative issue: if it keeps going to near 0, as a data analyst you would want to know about these instances (even if they were 1, or just under 1), since they might point to inconsistent data collection and data quality processes by each country.

I loved using hello fresh but I had a bad habit of forgetting to chose my recipes every week which often resulted in me not wanting to make another burger again or the shepherds pie and the bags would sit in my fridge unmade. I learned a lot about cooking but I hated the cleanup. I kept most of the recipe cards they sent and now cook the 4 serving meals as a meal prep rather than cooking something different every other day.
