People do not die instantaneously when they are infected. There is potentially a multi-week lag between people showing up in the confirmed cases number and people showing up in the deaths number. Two weeks ago, Germany had ~100 cases. Toda

The distinction 'kragen is making is between actual cases (total number of people with the virus) versus cases confirmed via testing. The daily growth of ~33% probably reflects increase in testing capacity more than increase in actual

The 80% figure comes from a study of 72k cases in Hubei. It may have the problem you suggest, but China was/is testing much more aggressively than the United States. http://weekly.chinacdc.cn/en/article/id&#x2

"solves differential equations" doesn't tell you anything about which differential equations. "minimizes action" gives you a way to get the differential equations corresponding to pretty much every scenario.

Which GPUs do not have double precision arithmetic? As far as I'm aware, all of AMD's and Nvidia's from the last decade have double precision support. It may not be fast, but it's there.

That article, and the source it references [1], are no more convincing than the sources that support this "myth". [1] bases it's conclusion primary on the assertions and opinions of the authors. > At least, in our opinion,

Pretty sure the rocm backend for tensorflow uses hip, not OpenCL, and hip is basically just AMD's implementation of cuda. I don't think it's accurate to say that the "entire ROCM stack is based on OpenCL." The rocm

Does anyone know how this fits with the many digital computers NASA used for mission planning (inc. trajectory planning)? See e.g. https://ntrs.nasa.gov/search.jsp?R=19680020624 for Gemini.

lol, it's just a meme, we can skip the lesson on California climate :)

I'd assume the question is more about whether Tesla's are designed to hold up in those conditions, not so much about EV vs ICE. I think the meme is "Designed in California, for California."

If it was so bad, why did tesla claim for years that all their cars were shipping with sufficient onboard capability for eventual "full self driving?"

There are a lot of NMR imaging techniques, and I'm not an expert, but my understanding (based on discussion with experts) is that the main magnetic field is static during all MRI scans. The gradient fields from electromagnets change, t

Ah, thanks. I didn't realize they had options to sell at $218, so I was thinking of the market price in Feb 2019.

An alternative question is: how much faster is it with the neural network-based emulation ("AI"), without the used of the specialized dedicated processing chips? I think the answer to this gives the information you are looking for

FWIW, I quoted that verse because that's the default scripture Mormons quote when you ask why they pay tithing, in my experience, and so I took the liberty of assuming that's probably what Christensen would say. But now you have m
