I started tracking where my ML research time actually goes and compute wasn't the main problem

I complain about compute as much as anyone. GPU queues suck, cloud credits disappear fast, and waiting on a long run is annoying.

But after a few recent projects I started paying attention to what was actually eating most of my time, and it wasn't training.

Very roughly, most of it was some combination of reading papers, figuring out which baselines were actually relevant, deciding what experiments were worth running, and then making sense of the results afterward.

The GPU part was frustrating, but at least it was usually straightforward: submit the job, wait, check results.

The messy part was everything around it.

I'd read a bunch of papers, make notes in Notion, realize two days later that I misunderstood how one baseline was evaluated, change the experiment setup, run something, get a weird result, and then end up back in Semantic Scholar trying to figure out whether someone else had already seen the same thing.

My current setup is still pretty patched together. Semantic Scholar / Connected Papers for finding stuff, notes wherever I happen to be keeping them, Slurm + bash for runs, then pandas/Jupyter for analysis.

I've also been trying mira ai science lately for the literature-to-experiment part. It's been useful when I give it a fairly messy research question and want help breaking the problem into papers, methods, controls, and possible experiment branches.

I wouldn't say it fixes the workflow though. I still check the papers myself, and sometimes it turns a fairly simple question into more steps than I probably needed. It's mostly just replaced some of the manual “okay, what do I look at next?” work for me.

Which has made me wonder if the research tooling conversation is slightly backwards.

We talk constantly about faster GPUs and bigger clusters, but I don't see nearly as much discussion about reducing the time between:

idea → relevant literature → experiment → result → next experiment

For a lot of projects, that loop feels like the part that actually determines how fast I move.

Curious if this matches anyone else's experience, or if compute really is the dominant bottleneck for your work.

Batman: Where is the crayon?
Tommy: I ate it.
Batman: …

matcha bar still my #1

i actually tried a looot of matchas already (go-to matcha, take five, oh hey there, shizu, hoshi house, superfood grocer, kumatcha, and many more) but i keep on coming back to matcha bar 🥹

i can still remember when i first tried matcha bar, it was genuinely shocking in a good way. i didnt know that matcha could taste THAT GOOD. and it never disappoints (atleast in my experience) 🙂‍↔️

Dario had his research papers forwarded to billionaires. This is what networking means. Not attending conferences.

B2B commercial plumber endoscopic video lead generation

commercial plumbers spend thousands buying weak AdWords leads. I bought a 50-foot waterproof industrial endoscope camera that plugs into my Android phone. I walk into older downtown commercial buildings, bars, and laundromats offering a "free main line drain check".

i film the corroded cast iron pipes under their floors, capture shocking high-res video of tree root intrusion, and give the property owner a copy of the footage. then I sell the qualified video leads directly to local master plumbers for $150 per lead.
