I don't have an answer for this particular thing, but will remind you that any bureaucracy tends to expand. So, what's the (state's bureaucracy) rationale to put itself at a place of control? Do they even need one?

If you walk down the street of my city (population close to 2 million, outside US) you will probably see zero people using Bitcoin. If you are extremely lucky to find one that uses it, it is someone that speculates in it, and never ever tho

At first they did their fair share in helping Nazi Germany, their official ally until Germans decided that their pact is not useful any more and suddenly attacking them in June 1941.

Jules Verne's novels from 19th century described submarines and flight to the Moon, but there are lots of TODO steps to fill in to create, or even "sketch" actual working submarines and rockets.

It is probably the same reason as why books (text) are still the main medium. Movies may be more popular entertainment, and comics might be preferred by some demographics, but everybody write something, and everybody read something, being i

The trouble with that approach is that in CS, tensors are mostly used in machine learning, which is very math-dependent. So, you read in a textbook or a paper that something can be done elegantly by using some linear algebra operation, or

Even if they were (I doubt), I haven't found a clear and informed description how they relate exactly to tensors found in math/physics literature. I agree with your view that they look more like nd-arrays.

All this is covered in Rich's talk. Your Cutter and Cuttable are different from my Knife and Cuttablito. When your program needs to talk to outside world, it all becomes messy.

Thanks for mentioning Neanderthal! http://neanderthal.uncomplicate.org http://github.com/uncomplicate/neanderthal It aims to have more features, and more speed than numpy, with Clojure, on the JVM + Nvidia

I'd be prepared to bet that majority of European non-English/French/German/Spanish names do not sound familiar to Americans (USA-centric).

Craft beer is tasty, many people love it and regularly buy it to consume it; not to store it in the cellar with the hope that one bottle will cost $50000 in 3 years. That's real business that has real profits.

It's a useful trick, but I was talking about comparison with what MKL and cuBLAS and other Nvidia libraries do. For the float/double/half implementations of "standard" operations that 95% use cases fall into, of whi

Can you give an example in popular Julia library(ies) that do that, and, very important, to speed comparisons? Are those operations close to the speed found in MKL for example?
627.
by dragandj 9y ago
I think you are wrong about Julia, at least when it comes to linear algebra. Julia also relies on BLAS/LAPACK, at least those libraries that strive to be fast.

For what it's worth, I use Colemak instead of QWERTY, and just use Emacs keybindings as-is. Works great for me.

While this is correct, you do not need to compute the inverse to solve this kind of least squares problem (and you do not need the inverse to solve any linear systems of equations).
