I guess that makes sense to me.. you can just automatically convert the C in BLAS to Julia and then if they're both being converted to llvm ir by clang anyways than i guess it'll be about as fast!

I don't quite follow. I am not too experienced with Julia, but my understanding was that it uses LLVM to jit itself. Since the LLVM jit compiler is also an API available to C++, anything that can be done in Julia can be done with jit t

IMO, this is not a fair comparison because Pytorch spans a larger amount of abstraction than jax (I don't quite know how to explain it other than "spans a larger amount of abstraction"). You can do much of the jax stuff in py

I'm just confused. Is the point that I'm supposed to think that being murdered is a serious risk you face in day to day life? I just feel like "rampant crime" seems utterly divorced from most of the problems I actually f

Generally, your metaphors should not rely on comparison to a pretty traumatic event that has happened to quite a few people, many of whom might be around you without you knowing.

No the argument is that long-term inflation moving averages are determined by what has occurred in the past (because they're moving averages), so a much higher inflation now would actually be good. Due to a collapse in AD, that's

I can see how it's confusing, but no. If the type of person to take Vitamin D comes in for a test with less symptoms "just in case", then the probability that they are positive given that they are tested is lower.

We're not even close to hitting an inflationary environment - we've been consistently under inflationary targets for like a decade.
