This has a chapter on low level optimisation in Owl: https://ocaml.xyz/book/core-opt.html, which includes how core functions are implemented in C, and how OpenMP is utilised etc. Besides, Owl relies on certain libraries such as OpenBLAS and FFTPack for the performance of key operations in e.g. linear algebra.

> Many licenses include future updates.

May be so, but likely not in the long run. Developers don't quite want to work for free, and providing free updates is a bad business model if licensing model is "one time fee".

They may say "free updates" to lure you in, but updates are only provided for your version. As soon as a new major version comes out, your current version will stop receiving updates. You will have to upgrade to the latest version at some point, and this upgrade is definitely not going to be free.

You get what you pay for.
30 is really good actually. At least for what I’m used to.
Yes that’s a few more years before then, and the more sats the more capacity and the lower the latency.
Normally I don't support going to peoples employers for shit they do outside of working hours, but I am willing to bet that some of those fucknuggets were using work email addresses/accounts. If I was their boss I would want Kat/Github to reach out and let me know about this.

By using their work accounts, they are stating that the company condones their behaviour - and I suspect that isn't the case in the majority of cases. I would definitely want to know if any of my employees were engaging in this shit so I could explain in very simple terms why it is unacceptable - because they clearly don't get it on their own.
I don't share your pessimism.

If you think a shorter elegant proof is more desirable, well, I totally agree with you. I think math is more about the proofs than the results. On the other hand I have zero problems trusting a proof checked by a computer. I don't know you but I usually trust much more computers with tedious computations than myself.

I think equating "only using F, A, and G" with "don't know how cars work" is plain wrong in this metaphor. Not knowing how cars work would equate more to "don't know what a router/switch does" which is... fine I guess, for most users who just plug a plastic box into an outlet.

Only using the 2 or 3 major websites, in car speak, would likely more look like "only know the road to the mall, the job, and the daycare and doesn't even realize there are other places one might conceivably go" which is... not fine in my book, and yes, I'm frustrated about that.

No way denying her prowess in calculations. Simply curious if it translates to multi-dimensional intelligence or was it limited to calculations. Also, I am not questioning her general intelligence, but when I said fluke, I meant if growth/difference in some part of brain gave her 1 in a billion intelligence but limited only to mathematical calculations.

Not traumatised, but at the time I did view going from shared discourse spaces to sharded discourse (albeit with comments & blogrolls) spaces as having been a backwards step. Looking back from today, I'll admit blogging was an improvement upon its successors :-)

With a supposedly 10x improvement in an important metric (fuel consumption, together with reasonable speed and carrying enough fuel for range), there must surely be a big idea driving the change. Something that stands out.

I can't quite follow what specifically makes this aircraft special. I mean, it's an odd shape, and it has a piston engine. But what's driving the huge improvements? Improvements in CFD software driving aerodynamic design? Automotive technology bringing engine efficiencies? Some trade-off of stability that has previously been avoided but new avionics have overcome? The comparisons are all against business jets - is it in some way a well-designed propeller aircraft sitting in the space where the utility of jets versus propeller craft starts to cross over and small jets become inefficient?

I suppose it's not impossible that it sits in an unexplored area of the design space - a clever designer starting from a clean sheet of paper and ending up with something that works really well. But it would be extremely unusual after a century-plus of innovation. I don't like that breathless articles are written about this plane without any attempt to describe what the special sauce may be.
If "at odds" is "give us your social network or we would put you in a prison", then you're right. Work on Telegram started before that situation in the same office of Vkontakte, by now it's being operated by expats.
I'm amazed that millions of supposed engineers believe this signal is coming from satellites and not terrestrial antennas.
Since the network only acts on a small portion of the entire system, we can constrain it in such a way that dramatically simple NNs work just fine.

`FastChain(FastDense(3,32,tanh), FastDense(32,32,tanh), FastDense(32,2))` (from [0]) would take three inputs from your basis, run it through one hidden layer and provide you with two trained parameters.

This [1] example uses two hidden layers, its one of the more complex solutions I've seen so far. To move to this complexity from a simpler chain, we first make sure our solution is not in a local minima [2], then proceed to increase the parameter count if the NN fails to converge.

So GPL doesn’t have this character? Like the GPLv2 taken by Linux kernel. I have an impression that AGPL only add “A” to GPL to adapt itself to the cloud era. Because a cloud/service deployment is not treated as redistribution in GPL, considering there wasn’t cloud at the time GPL was made. So some big cloud company can deploy GPL software on cloud without open source action because they are not actually “distribute” software, instead only distribute a service. AGPL fix only this hole created by cloud.

I had to search the original publication to see what kind of computer cluster they used. Here it is in case you are curious:

"We ran all three experiments simultaneously on 20 nodes on the Lonestar5 cluster and computing on 24 CPUs per node in parallel."

It seems it took less than an hour. I think that calling it a "fleet of computers" is a little too much. It makes it look like they brute-forced the problem while the truth is that as usually the merit was on the algorithm.
I read this article threads, and once again HN comes up short on aviation knowledge. Here's some actual facts:

- Germany is always producing diesel piston-engine companies. The previous one was Thielert, which folded in 2008, and is now owned by China (Avic):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thielert_Centurion

- diesel engines are popular ideas because most of the world doesn't have avgas available (including Africa, Far North, etc.)

- jet engines work most efficiently at high altitude (thermo equation), but pistons generally work best low density altitude. Pistons are generally twice as efficient as jet engines historically.

A key method of boosting power in WW2 was cooling combustion with combinations of water and alcohol, which is how they approached and exceeded 2000 HP.

- Scaled Composites made mostly military prototypes, so irrelevant for civil uses. Sold to Northrop Grumman in 2007.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaled_Composites

- regarding "jokes about German companies' fuel efficiency claims" - all auto makers fake efficiency and emissions results to get around government regulations, or blend results from one model with another to average it down. Volkswagen just got caught.

- regarding "planes for rich people", I doubt if this engine will be used outside charter operations, IOW for commercial revenue use, like a tractor. Boom will never see the light of day - it's just a vanity project for the designers.

A single engine plane is most likely not going to be used for ocean crossings regularly, for safety reasons, even if it is technically capable of it. Additionally, I'm not sure it has enough spare fuel reserves to make the trip with enough margin for error or unforeseen circumstances.
Have you ever used any complex software, especially aimed at specific skills / occupations? It's like they throw darts at balloons to randomly select which UI elements are being moved each release. I've used Word every day for years and I still struggle to remember where uncommon functions are in the ribbon. Going from an older Photoshop to the most recent, finding the correct icon means I have to stop and figure out what it is now, slowing me down. I flat out cannot figure out the new Photoshop start up interface and immediately reenable the old one. Every person at work who upgraded to Office that changed the Save UI to the online shit absolutely flipped their shit.

Software companies are forever forcing unwanted changes on users who use the software all the time, and it absolutely and costs time and money to retrain staff to be able to keep doing the work they were already trained to do. No user or company wants existing functionality changed
HFT have installed microwave relays between Chicago and New York and between London and Berlin to arbitrage on the 47% fiber optic delay between the exchanges.

I don't think we should be normalizing using github for this kind of thing.

Ultimately, everything is downstream of culture, and if it becomes the norm that one uses Github for (essentially) Instagramming your food, then Github will become Instagram/Tumblr/whatever.

I don't expect anyone to agree with the point I'm making, I just want it to be noted so that in 5-10 years when Github succumbs and becomes a place that's not really used for code - or whatever other pathological outcomes the blue-haired ones create, nobody will say "wow, who could have predicted this!"

The person who submitted a pull request deleting everything to "fix bloat" did exactly the right thing. This should probably even be a site policy.

Smart phones use 4G networks. And now there is another alternative.

Cellular networks have limited coverage. Imagine tracking a truck traveling across the US, or a ferry, across the English channel. Currently, that's not possible with 4G. But with a satellite driven internet system, it very well could be.

As for urban and sub-urban applications, not much.

I keep thinking back of the days of the wild west of the internet, when I was a teenager. Back then, 'trolling' felt like it was done in 'good spirit', and it seemed as though everyone was sort of 'in on it', maybe because people shared similar values and knew there was no ill-intent behind the 'trolling' of the old days.
But at some point (and I suspect it has something to do with money, as always), it turned into a weird team-sport. And political. It's no longer acceptable and needs to end.

I can't reply to your other post, presumably because the thread is too deep. For one, you continue to make assumptions about me. By all means feel free, if this year has been any indication I can only expect the vilification of anyone not immediately damning the president will continue.

>Holy bejesus. And how is his ability to lead a country? Do you think it is as good/poor as how he seemingly treat random women?

I don't know how to get across to you the point that people talk about dirty things in private. If you want to believe that that kind of conversation is the domain of devils, be my guest, you don't seem like the type to be swayed by reason.

>On the topic of ethics, how about the ethics of having sex with (and then paying off) a porn star

I still don't care, unsurprisingly. It really isn't that hard.

>How shallow does your judgement go

Because I choose not to base your abilities on how you talk to your friends in private? Then release all of your text messages for the public to see, since you seem to be living in a reality where people all hold hands and sing kumbaya, and talk about science and hand-holding every waking moment of the day. You have a job, don't you? Would you also be so deaf to posit to me you don't have any skeletons in your closet? I'm able to make the reasonable judgement that the president doesn't go around for his scheduled 2 PM rape session every Thursday, but apparently that's too much, and I should dial back my comparisons to the guy's humanity.

>OK Genghis Khan was a good leader, he also did a lot of raping, sadly for Trump and his defenders the kind of leadership needed nowadays isn't the 11th century kind and I doubt he could ride a horse fast

Truly ironic that you're simultaneously able to make the distinction there is not a 1:1 correlation with leadership capability and personal action for a literal rapist but not for the president. If anything this discussion has shown me how disgustingly vapid people can become when they are unable to refrain from having their emotion leak through every single post when the word "Trump" is brought up.

Web browsing can be super slow if you have a high latency. Between the DNS requests, the TCP handshakes, the TLS handshakes, it takes forever before you start receiving the actual content.
I am pretty confident a lot of extreme outliers do have some innate predisposition in any field. It is such that the world beaters have their talent identified, nurtured and perfected at the right age and an outlet created. Also i think it is considered impolite to completely base our intelligence, understanding or creativity on some natural gift nowadays due to some kind of just world fallacy. Although i am still inclined to personally believe that nurture is more important and you can do many good things reasonably well if your specific talent was nurtured well and you did not have some unfortunate mental deficiency that you were born with. Till recently very few people in the world had the right kind of nurture - education. I had a lot of challenges in some fields when in school, however unlike in the Western world the school system in my location was rigid and i could not improve on my weaknesses.
This chapter showcases the problem perfectly.

It gives scientists a lot of information about how to perform low level optimization on code, e.g., if your code is "slow", use SIMD, OpenMP, BLAS, or do this or that trick.

But it does not provide the scientist with even the most basic tools to answer the question: "Is my code fast or slow?" (i.e. should I optimize it at all?), much less "_Why_ is it slow, and what's the best way to address that?" (e.g. if it is slow because its using 100% of the peak FLOPs of the CPU, but your hardware has a GPU, so you end up with 1% total FLOP utilization, then none of the "tricks" there will help).

It also completely avoids the issue that, in practice, a O(N) algorithm beats a OpenMP+SIMD-optimized O(N^2/p) algorithm pretty much all the time.

The chapter kind of assumes that scientists OCaml code will be slow, and gives them a "bag of tricks" that they can try to make it faster.

So we end up with the irony of a book on scientific computing that completely ignores the scientific method.

One of the largest problems in the industry is that they are looking (job ads) for CS, hiring programmers, but actually often need software engineers. And the second problem is that they often don't understand the first sentence.

CS was never meant to be a programming degree. There are universities that don't have programming in their CS curriculum at all (well, except for pseudo-code or the like). It's a scientific degree. It's an education that teaches you how to solve problems in the Computing in a reliable, mathematical, scientific way. They solve abstract problems.

Software engineers, on the other hand, solve concrete problems, but also without much code. They design a solution with respect to the requirements, technical constraints, price, available resources etc. They shape the development process.

Programmers write code. Ideally they do know the infrastructure they're working with (compilers, libraries, frameworks, hardware, ...) and write the most optimal code in the frame, defined by an engineer, and using solutions developed by a scientist.

At least this is how it should be. And there are some companies that really working like this - usually the ones that have to have really good software working for decades. Other (nowadays the majority) hire physicists or the like for everything. I had the chance to work for some of these companies too - one of them hired basically everyone with some mathematical background to do coding - and they coded. They created one of the largest code bases on the planet (larger than e.g. Microsoft's at that time). They never learned how to get requirements from the customers, so their software was an absolute desaster in terms of usability. It is also extremely slow - jokes about its start-up times were pretty widespread a couple of years ago. And it was absolutely unmaintainable, to a degree that the company was on the verge of bankruptcy because they were basically not able to react to customer requests. They survived. But they are not hiring physicists to do software development anymore.
