Gandi may also be an option here - a domain registered with them comes with two free mailboxes, each with a few GBs of space and calendar support. (Yes, yes, this is the same company that lost the data on their cloud servers.)

- Function in Cupy takes 29.4ms, Numpy takes 427 ms. Happy ? - Broadcasting semantics + division takes care of the outer-product normalization. This is 2 L1 ops in size of the matrix & the input (~ xSCAL). Pedantry is still not an ar

Common Lispers have had the ability to write CUDA kernels (with shaders) on-the-fly with a DSL in cl-cuda for many years now. See, https://github.com/takagi/cl-cuda Cupy (a project in which takagi is/was actively

> user of NumPy/CuPy to perform the float32 computation This is just getting tiring. Numpy and Cupy are perfectly capable of doing float32 computation - their only "fault" is that they coerce data to float64 in this one

by akssri 7y ago
Numpy/Cupy do explicit coercing to float64. There is no documentation for why this is done, but since GEMM is used to compute the covariates (summation over data points), it makes sense to increase the precision. You could get away usi

The PyT version above and the both the CPU/GPU versions on Neantherdal work completely in float32. I confirm that the performance of Neantherdal GPU is similar to that in the above PyT version. Yes. The part that is flawed is that

The benchmark is flawed. Cupy follows Numpy in doing a type-promotion of the data to float64 before computing the covariance. https://github.com/cupy/cupy/blob/b19577199d3f75c76e23c75194... The following func

Sorry, but how is this flamebait ? I've given sources, and academic citations (from publishers like OUP and SUNY press). I even mention how such false knowledge affects not just Europeans view of India, but the Indian view of India.

Shrug all you want, but it most certainly is not and neither will it ever be. The definitions have been laid out in the Ashtadhyayi ~2000 years back. It's not my concern if certain folk have no education in Panini, and are arrogant

It is indeed the सम्बन्ध; it's not a कारक technically. The canonical defn. of कारक is that which relates a noun to the verb. सम्बन्ध relates relations between nouns (you can't have sentences with only a verb and a noun in genitive

It is for the most part (see answer above).

That's the story that's told in introductory texts, but the genitive generally forbids such permutations (depending on the flavor of usage in the geographical area). There are actually only 7 kinds of सुप्s (x 3 numbers); there ar

Language too has nothing to do with the Universe - that doesn't prevent sentences in it from "mean"-ing something.

Interestingly, many Indic [2] languages follow similar verb-centric grammars. In the canonical Vyakarana tradition (of Panini), sentences are seen as revolving around the verb [1]. The "noun-cases" or कारक (karaka) are generally e

Graphical models might also be something folks might want to consider. Ideas from PGMs are often behind many advances in ML. The canonical text is by Daphne Koller; a course I took used Martin Wainwright's monograph though - the book i

This is just too sad. Iranians at grad school often struck me as incredibly smart - be it students or faculty. The recent breakthrough in TSP approximation was due to an Iranian; the woman who won the Field's prize earlier was one too!

For me, error handling has a major flaw: stack unwinding - extremely annoying thing to happen when the program state took many many hours to achieve. I don't think there is any language other than CL that allows restarts etc. to be def
