I've a "old #astronomy software" side project and I'm looking for the early Mac software "StarMap" or "Star Map" from Bruce Webster.
So far my searches came up empty, but I'm not a specialist in old Mac software.
Does anyone have a copy of this app?
It's described in detail in a July 1985 BYTE article: #retrocomputing

@… I think in my head when I’m in the shower, or lying in bed. Then I go to my computer and put down the thoughts. If I get confused, I leave the computer again until there are more thoughts.
I used to be able to think in front of the computer like you do, but I don’t remember how to do that any more.

Compute-Optimal Scaling for Value-Based Deep RL
As models grow larger and training them becomes expensive, it becomes increasingly important to scale training recipes not just to larger models and more data, but to do so in a compute-optimal manner that extracts maximal performance per unit of compute. While such scaling has been well studied for language modeling, reinforcement learning (RL) has received less attention in this regard. In this paper, we investigate compute scaling for online, value-based deep RL. These methods present two pr…

OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar says the company hit its first $1B revenue month in July and that "the biggest thing we face is being constantly under compute" (Samantha Subin/CNBC)

OpenAI logged its first $1 billion month but is still 'constantly under compute,' CFO says
OpenAI has ballooned in size since the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022 and is expected to triple in revenue to $12.7 billion this year.
