I just discovered this field; I needed an algorithm to compute a low rank approximation of a large covariance matrix without first building the matrix. I'm using algorithm 16 in this paper which is simple but very good!

Nice to know that numba has these features; I'll have to check it out at some point!

I haven't tried numba but I've heard good things about it! Nice linked tutorial. If I understand correctly, you pass in jitted functions (using numba, and jax) into iminuit which does the optimisation? With Jax you can write nativ

I've been using JAX ( https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ ) for scientific computing in general (in particular MCMC algorithms), as it's really fast. Even on a CPU you get massive speedups compared to nu

I hadn't seen that; thanks!

There are probably a bunch of alternatives for this. For example a friend built Reading List which I've heard is good ( https://apps.apple.com/us/app/reading-list-book-log/id121713... ) (iOS app)

The way to represent negative numbers (page 3 of the manual) is really cool: to do "a - b" you add a to the complement of b (with the complement of b being 2 - |b|). It feels really similar to modular arithmetic: -3 = 7 (modulo 10

Perhaps an alternative to look into: Numpyro [1] has a JAX backend so can be really fast when compiled; and it can run on GPUs. So that might be helpful for your problem with loads of data. [1] https://github.com/pyro-ppl&#x

The author used the "intelligent driver model" (IDM): https://traffic-simulation.de/info/info_IDM.html It's a system of ODEs that describes the dynamics of each driver. So the inputs are: the parameters

Sounds cool! What's the company? I haven't heard of many companies needing CFD

I’m doing a postdoc in stats/ML and mainly writing MCMC algorithms. Background: phd in computational statistics. I’ve used a lot of Python and a bit of Julia. I’ve recently started using JAX and I’m really into it! It’s really fast eve

this is great. The Kohl concert is hard to type at the right pace though :)

Cool! Yeah I tried a pdf and it generated a bunch of URLs ;)

This is really cool! How did you do the encoding though?

Really cool idea!

Your website is http://www.oliverpeat.com/ , right? I couldn't find your medium profile from there (though I may have missed it). Could you maybe have your posts also on your website?

A lot of the advice here is good! For me: what helped was easing into it: I would only work a bit from home for an hour or 2 in the morning before going into the office (it was during my PhD so no one was monitoring my time). When I got mor
