This is between mitochondrial genomes, not plant genomes. Unless the roundup genes are part of the mitochondrial, not the nuclear, genome, this doesn’t apply.

I’ve used popcounts for full vectorization for b-bit minwise hashing, comparing bloom filters efficiently, and bitvector traversal. It’s a standard primitive in a lot of low-level code.

Some are brilliant (e.g., Ronan Farrow), but the real point is that they’re speaking to an audience which they’re essentially trying to coddle because the audience isn’t comprised of experts.

It’s always mentioned in the context of Japanese aggression, e.g., the “Rape of Nanking”.

I’m still upset about the terrible transmission on the Ford I purchased. I will never support them again.

I also support high intensity exercise. I’ve really enjoyed taking up powerlifting and it gives me a way to focus on my strength instead of appearance. It’s still treated the latter well while keeping my focus on something that isn’t so cos

That’s profoundly horrifying. In America, unauthorized dissemination of nude photos is both criminalized and widely reviled. What I don’t know is if it’s that difference or end to end encryption platforms that makes the difference.

The market shouldn’t be the only entity responsible for punishing this kind of massive damage.

PyTorch and Tensorflow both have C++ frontends now, which lowers the barrier of use for me. Being able to test quickly in Python without compiling is really nice; while I prefer C++ for final products, prototyping PyTorch in Python feels li

Anorexia and bulimia are both OCD spectrum disorders. It's not remotely surprising that they're linked, but, as parent comment suggests, please help those who need it get treatment, even (especially) if it's yourself.

The social market economy has been very successful, but your use of “fungible” doesn’t seem to make sense, unless this is satire.

This is the kind of thing making piracy more attractive in this new era of no ownership.

This is why I will never again own a Ford. (That, and the endless recalls.)

To be fair, they only ceased practicing polygamy because it was an untenable position in their quest for statehood. Just like they stopped keeping black people from the temple or the priesthood in 1978 because it was no longer an acceptable

No democrat with standing in the party is for open borders. Julian Castro isn’t even an elected official.

Democrats aren’t in favor of open borders, but evidence-based border security. The president’s platform is attacking anyone who doesn’t want his proposed “solution” as dismissing border control and immigration reforms. It’s dishonest and in

-Wclass-memaccess is a warning emitted by newer g++ versions. It’s led me to use safer/better, if less convenient, options. (That being said, it’s only applicable to C++.)

Here's what bothers me. When I see Data Science in industry, it means an analyst. When I see Data Science in academia, I see Michael Jordan and Alex Smola. I think this is the core disconnect.

Have you compared to ska::flat_hash_map or khash? I’ve found the latter to be ideal if my keys/values were POD and the former otherwise. I’m not yet convinced that it’s actually better based on their website. std::unordered_map is infa

I think you're looking for 'bad rap' instead of 'bad rep', by the way.

I really enjoyed the discussion here [0] on Yann LeCun’s comments. In some ways, it’s like random Fourier features/kitchen sinks (Cf. Ben Recht). They’re more insightful than they are useful. [0] https://www.reddit.com/

There’s the old quip about Gershwin asking Ravel to teach him. Supposedly, Ravel declined, saying “Why should you be a second-rate Ravel when you can be a first-rate Gershwin?” In this more specific light, find your own path rather than cop

I like late night workouts. I sleep easier and more; additionally, eating before bed usually doesn’t bother me in this context.

There’s still a good amount of overhead in Cython portions of code unless there are no python objects or GIL involved, and then there’s still overhead communicating between C and Python worlds. That’s part of why I stopped writing Cython an

I know it’s gained a lot of adoption in my circles, compared to none for Brotli. Several colleagues have written code using zstd as a library. Though anecdotal, certainly.

For those interested, it was addressed by changing the license to GPLv3, inheriting it from the original code. As someone who GPL-licenses most of his software, this is a good reminder of what it looks like when copyleft licenses work as in
