Well technically, the starting points were always other elements like bismuth, and not lead. I believe the authors checked, and noted that in the paper: https://journals.aps.org/prc/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevC.1

I wonder what makes you say this? In my (limited) anecdotal experience, I've noticed that Austrians seem to have far higher levels of English competency than Germans, for example.

Can I also interpret this as: 'AMD's pytorch support is so abysmal that inference is 10x slower than it should be'?

Not quite: half are on the left, and half are on the right of the vertical line; and half are on the bottom and half on the top of the horizontal line.

It's also wrong: SO(n) matrices have determinant +1.

Unfortunately, despite panels and batteries getting cheaper every year, not every rural household has the financial means to access these solutions. I'm really excited about initiatives creating microgrids with peer-to-peer payment sys

The only way to avoid falling under the provisions of the act is to not have any customers in the EU -- that's quite a big market to cut yourself out of, and definitely something a big company cannot afford to do.

My whole workflow of organizing and reading papers is centered on PDFs. While I like having interactive supplemental materials, I want to be able to print, save and annotate the papers I read.

Has anyone here found a link to the actual paper? If I click on 'paper', I only see what seems to be an awkward HTML version.

The Taiwanese scooter company Gogoro recently announced something similar: Their scooters come with swappable batteries that you rent. The swapping station they have throughout the city are basically walls full of batteries. Since the compa

The article links to an old draft of the paper (it seems that the results in 4.1 couldn't be replicated). The arxiv has a more recent one: https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.13345

I disagree; I think a system like Wikipedia shows that a textual and visual format like markdown provides the flexibility to convey pretty much any information. For any formal and semantic storage system, you will probably spend more time a

It's a popular science talk, not a presentation of a specific research result. The re-interpretation of scattering amplitudes in terms of novel mathematical structures is almost its own subfield of theoretical particle physics. Most of

I don't exactly know what you mean, but at least most points in the blog post were covered in my undergrad numerics courses.

I'm not sure if this will actually be an HSR stop, but it would be super convenient for someone living in e.g. Fresno: Instead of having to use a connector flight to SFO, you can just take the train and transfer. There are formal partn

That would only help you if they claim to be US-based in the first place. They do mention background checks, there are some companies offering those internationally.

This is pretty obvious, no? If you choose a (uniformly) random point inside an n-sphere, the components of the vector will go to zero as n gets larger -- after all, the sum of their squares has to be less than 1. A (uniformly) random point

Milpitas really is not walkable, although you can somewhat decently navigate it with a bike. Walkability mostly is a function of density, which you can just glean by eye from a satellite picture. Unfortunately, many otherwise pedestrian-fri

I just tried replicating the same experiment using Jax's numpy API, and einsum is still slower, but at least the same order of magnitude: %timeit (x_jax @ y_jax).block_until_ready() 579 µs ± 4.54 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of

I'd really like to use einsum more often, because it allows me to code my expressions the same way I derive them on pen and paper. Unfortunately, as mentioned in the article, it's slow, because it converts your formula to a for lo

I don't know what the issue is. Let's assume for simplicity that the sensitivity is exactly 0.2 eV. Then if you measure something slightly above, like 0.201 eV, you can conclude it has a mass. If you measure something slightly bel

I don't think replacing a workstation with a Macbook because of RAM makes too much sense: If running one minibatch of your model already takes up all the memory you have, where would the rest of your training data sit? In the M1, you d

I know this doesn't answer your question, but can I just ask (out of curiosity) why you're training ML models on a laptop?

I'm not sure I understand that logic -- Germany has far more potential customers than Austria. And it's not like the average German travels ten times as many miles by train as the average Austrian. Also, the BahnCard can only be u
