Note that there are at least three ways to get the wrong answer with the correct code : - Modeling and discretization errors (usually unavoidable but well understood). - Uncertainties from the inputs (we have tools to get a feeling for thei

Regarding the bounding of numerical results, we currently have precise method that cannot be used on real size applications and methods that can be used at scale but tend to tell you that your result is between minus infinity and plus infin

Two vital information on .Net PRNG : - It is not thread-safe (and might start outputting a serie of 0 when called in parallel) - There is a bug (acknowledged by Microsoft but not fixed for backward compatibility reasons) in the implementati

I think there is hope, there is a very nice paper where they automaticaly produce both heatmaps and textual explanations of the label given by the neural network (used to detect and classify fractures). It is detailled here : https:/&

The indentation sensitive syntax of F# was the solution to me, I would love to see it being integrated into OCaml.

Going from Ocaml to F# is trivial, most of the time it is only a matter of adjusting the indentation and getting the correct name from the std. Going from F# to Ocaml tend to be harder since F# has a number of functionalities that are often

I am actually quite happy with Sympy, it sometimes needs a helping hand but : - it can solve the equations that I need solved - it is open source and free - it is a python library (I alreaddy know the syntax and it can be plugged in a pyth
