How about simply turning away the unvaccinated from hospitals for Covid care? Is that less or more humane than holding them under house arrest? PS: I think arguments justifying such mandates for avoiding overwhelming of hospitals will furth

I’ve always been curious about both the CM and Feynman’s PDE based approach, but never found any clear writing on the topic. If anyone is digging into this, I’m happy to assist in any way I can (I have a theoretical physics background, fwiw

The "leopard spots" example is particularly interesting in how the super-resolution just hallucinates seemingly similar textures which can be completely different from the actual texture in the reference patch. (Such artifacts hav

Congratulations! Some basic questions, if you’ll indulge: How exactly does Julia fit into your software architecture? Is your product a cloud offering and/or does it have a client side application? Do you use Julia for only the algorit

Lol. That makes me wonder whether the Streisand publicity might be a great thing for this project :-D

The original Neural ODEs paper is quite readable, and by now there are loads of blog posts and even a few talks on the subject. The basic idea is inspired by the “adjoint method” for ODE solving (so you don’t have to hold in memory all the

My takeaway, more than anything else — as someone who has never interacted with Michael Seibel — is immense respect/admiration for how well he handled it — staying focused on the true goal (understanding the pitch) and in the process

That’s about as aggravating as asking Ryan to change name to Pyan — because the encoding doesn’t support “R” and “P” looks very similar.

Hmmm, that’s interesting in an unfortunate way that can only be learned from experience. I have wondered about why companies don’t better engage with enthusiasts / power users, and now I have a better appreciation for the challenges. T

Because for the PARC folks from back in the day, the true vision for personal computing was to enable lots of people to do new things. That’s why Kay laments that the personal computing revolution is yet to happen.

Fascinating. I’m curious what were the landscape of MOs you/company evaluated. Eg: would it have been possible to encourage a slightly more organized relationship with the enthusiasts by communicating the challenges to them?

Some short answers to this and following questions: 1. Einsum doesn’t AFAIK allow custom strides. So Einsum does only the mapreduce part (and that too only for multiplication & summation combo). To get a taste for the absolute brillianc

People create new languages (for the most part) when it helps them substantially improve their capability to solve the problems they care about (I.e. “delivering value”). If you don’t feel the pain of those problems enough to understand w

Let me add some nuance to the hype. When someone says “for ML/data science” (just as an example) the common confusion is whether we are referring to researchers & library authors (those who create exciting new capabilities) or libr

I’d have imagined exactly the opposite — Single window likely maximized on small screens but much fancier tiling on large screens!

Kudos; this is likely a very useful tool! So useful (and potentially lucrative) that AWS/GCP would likely take over this functionality eventually -- either by building on top of spot instances like you have, or underneath regular insta

That’s an interesting insight. What are the long term societal implications of enabling/inducing (Jevons paradox) activities which are not “important enough” to need 100% correctness?

Here’s a meta question to the author: Having been around the circuit once, do they at least feel a little more humble about their opinions this time around, or are they just as strong but only in a different direction? :-) IMHO, while the a

This incident is an interesting example of the general under-appreciation of systems thinking and the impact of tail events. Amazing/crazy!

Serializing structured data into ASCII streams makes it very hard to then deserialize and re-structure. Plain text might be the lowest common denominator for Unix/shell tools, but we can do far far better in how structured data is exch
