No, these really are a great group. They make OmniFocus, a hugely beloved task manager. See their website: https://www.omnigroup.com . People really, really, love their software.

Similar products to this exist - wonder.me, and gather.town.

I don't understand what this has to do with the article or the previous comment at all.

Many people use HPC for things that are not AI/ML, such as CFD. Those applications are typically written using MPI/CUDA

Yes, these are massively important to professional astronomy and our understanding of the universe.

Perhaps true for amateur astrophotography but not the case for professional astronomy. Please see reporting in e.g. [1] and [2]. Note that simply putting telescopes in space is not a viable solution to these problems. [1] https:/&#x2F

A great opportunity to introduce multiplications of fractions! 1/3 of the students at table A are girls. 1/3 of the students at table B are girls. What fraction of the tables does table A represent? A is one out of two tables, so

You'll probably get much more traction if you: 1. Post to a site describing what your app is and what it does 2. Have this out of TestFlight and available on the public app store

That depends - we use HDF5 to store data from huge simulations (~1TB/snap) which are then obviously too large to analyse on a single machine. The benefit of HDF5 is that it allows for very easy slicing of data. So 'chunking'

Your point about entrance exams is, in general, not true. University applications in Europe are very similar to those in the USA.

Well, yeah. That already exists if you go to any non-english speaking country and look at the coursework of people doing introductory C classes... #define pour for #define ent int etc... I think these don't really capture the whole ide

Agree with you that the smoother shape leads to a more pleasing colour profile -- note that the `rainbow` cmap in matplotlib is different to the one you compared against, it's actually more similar to Turbo by looks. I would have also

Yeah, it's not the best name. There is also the 'Spectral' colour map that is plotted in a different section, which imo is much better suited as being a diverging colour map as yellow looks more 'neutral' than brigh

See spectral and the one that's called `rainbow`

by JBorrow 7y ago
If you look at the post that I referenced in there (a matplotlib page detailing the colourmaps that are available in that library) there is one that is actually called `rainbow` that's very similar to the one proposed by the google tea

by JBorrow 7y ago
Sorry, my comment was unclear. They are comparing against jet, which is a colourmap that uses all the colours of the rainbow. They are not using the colourmap _called_ `rainbow`, to compare against.
138.
by JBorrow 7y ago
This is very similar to the 'rainbow' colour map already available in many places, including matplotlib [1]. For people who are looking for maps with increased dynamic range, diverging colour maps already exist. There are even one

The parentheses show something similar to your first, where this is the +- read from the right hand side of the number. So you could write yours: 45.73490534578(2000000)

The US has a population 40 times higher, that's not really a fair comparison. Also: Nestle, Logitech? Just because they don't have shiny frontmen doesn't mean they aren't worthy. Google also has a large AI research depar

My point was that ECC ram is twice as expensive. Cache is super expensive (your consumer chip will have significantly less), so are PCI lanes (again, consumer chips have significantly fewer of these), and also your Ryzen chip doesn't h
144.
by JBorrow 7y ago
Not to come out over-defensive, but your base configuration (I guess?) doesn't include a GPU, I bet your caches are significantly smaller, and also no ECC ram. I also bet your storage is considerably slower.

This seems like an incredibly complicated way to fit an exponential to data...

For the price of the 2017, 13 inch, non-touchbar with 16GB ram and 1TB SSD you can get the base model 15 inch, with 3x as many cores and DDR4, not LPDDR3 ram. Doesn't really make sense.

Yeah, in fact we simulate many thousands of galaxies all at once in a big cosmological volume and they all have very realistic rotation curves -- we match these to the observed rotation curves of galaxies, or use them to make predictions ab

There are other things that must be conserved - not just energy - in the current standard model of particle physics. For example, you have to conserve charge - and matter and antimatter have opposite charges. In that case, say I have 100 el
