Meditation is a blade with no hilt. I _accidentally_ fell into a vipassana state of mind after the first time trying a particular religious chant, seriously, from out of the pains of boredom as a 20 year old. At the time I lived nearby moun

If my personal experience is helpful to those trying to answer those questions then great, but I don't know the answer to them.

I'm at GSFC, and arrogance is definitely not a character trait of those on my team. Earth science may select for a different type of persona.

And volatile down is no worry sitting on a huge pile of cash. Buffet is well known to play long, big, safe, predictable bets, with recent exception with airlines with bad COVID timing. All this is consistent with his personality and histor

What would you expect a 'present day champion' to do during the most volatile market since just prior to the Great Depression?

Where able, but its poor treatment of SWIG makes interfacing with standard tooling a royal pain. In many cases, I've rewritten Numba code in Cython or C for this very reason.

Scientists are typically not trained computer scientists. They do not care, nor appreciate these technical arguments. They have two datasets A, and B, and want their sum, expressed in a neat tidy form. C = A + B Python with Numpy perfectl

Python is married to Numpy for scientific computing.

Cython has first class treatment for Numpy arrays. Can Mypyc generate machine optimized code for chomping Numpy arrays element-wise?

Most Python data science offloads the data crunching to Numpy, an optimized array based processing library. This is feasible to reduce interpreter overhead considerably by using array programming: c = a + b #This is valid Python code. Where

The game Destiny went this route to increase GPU throughput by 50%. An extra frame of latency, the dev's said, was hardly discernible on a controller.

"This meant that no formal system, could prove by itself, that it could only produce true statements. " I see this generalization often, that Godel showed that all formal systems share this restriction, but doesn't the form

Are you referring to Numba's ability to offload certain loops into a GPU kernel? Otherwise, Clang has access to the same optimizations that Numba has as they both share LLVM as their optimizing compiler. Beyond that, I think a fairer

If a well established abstraction solves the problem, then that's just a particular known about the solution space. If your data changes, your problem changes. We only ever solve particular problems, given the distribution, shape and

Inflationary theory. Someone more educated on the topic can pine in, but my lay understanding is that the output of some form of primeval radioactive decay (Big Bang) caused a phenomenal rate of spacial expansion, which caused space to exp

There was no pulling up. And there was no ground beneath my feet. Just an endless ocean with no points of reference by which to orient oneself. So the only course of action was not to search for rocks to cling to, but of learning how to sw
