On most of the political issues dear to me, it is impossible to have a scientific study decide the truth. To believe that science could; that would be replacing morals and beliefs with scientism, not far removed from religion and ultimately

I might be in the minority here but I enjoy the political threads. I think the reason they often devolve into "discussions" of sub-par quality is that much of politics can't be explained by reason, and so is it with most of o

George hotz got his "for play" tensor library[a] to run on the Apple Neural Engine (ANE). The results were somewhat dissapointing, however, and currently it only does relu. [a]: https://github.com/geohot/tinyg

Well known in academia, but what type of industrial applications is it used in? To my knowledge most mainstream software suites run plain old RANS finite volume schemes.

To be clear, I am using the example of the current vaccines to prove the point that N=200 allows statistical inferences to be drawn.

Yes, you have. The efficacy estimate was based on roughly ~200 confirmed cases, which your link confirms for the Pfizer vaccine.

The efficacy of the vaccines currently being administered to millions were based on decisions made with data from ~200 confirmed cases.

Your first link is a blogpost about someone's doctoral dissertation, and your second link is even more of a stretch (the title of the paper ends with a question mark). That is fringe research, and not the established position. You get

Go look up eg the sources on the wiki article, and you can see for yourself how they controlled for nurture.

Among the first few pages in many of my books are recommendations for other similar books from the same publisher, and not infrequently the author himself cites related works.

There was this blogpost a while back which I can't seem to find, suggesting that the division is between: * people who view democracy as a set of values, and if you do not share those values then you are against democracy. * people who

In my experience Eigen is not very good either for small matrices, whilst Fastor performs much better. Interesting

Could you expand on the 24x24 unrolling with AVX? How big of a benefit did you obtain, compared to say using a library such as Armadillo, Fastor, Eigen, etc?

I think that generally people are in favour of so called "fact" checking, if the results of that fact checking align with their beliefs. As a silly analogy, how about a road that gave you a thumbs up when you had the right of way?

I haven't seen any good studies debunking it, but neither have I seen any studies which prove it. That IQ is heritable and has a large genetic component however is "settled science" [a], and the current trend in behavioural g

This is a bit facetious but, my point is that driving to the airport in a tesla isn't solving climate change. The guy in India who lives in a house with dirt for floor is solving climate change, no matter if he likes it or not. No, the

The highlights include a game of tic-tac-toe solely in several calls to printf(fmt, arg), where fmt and arg are carefully chosen. This made me reflect on whether good language design should limit expressiveness of code?

"Complex Analysis: An Introduction to the Theory of Analytic Functions of One Complex Variable" By Lars Ahlfors was very enjoyable to me. However, I read it after I already knew Complex Analysis.

Yes, I am aware (why wouldn't I be?). To me it is obvious that the solution to the global climate change crisis isn't rich countries buying new luxorious cars, that happen to be electric. That's a very western-centric view.

Sell oil, buy electric cars. Is this the definition of hypocrisy? At least it is better than the alternative, sell oil and buy fossile fuel cars. Edit: I would like to rephrase the last sentence as "At least it is better than _an_ alt
