I prefer Beefheart to Zappa. Beefheart was a genius with a vision from another planet. Zappa was talented but his smugness and middle-school humor ruin it for me. His freakiness feels showy, like he's trying to prove how different and smart he is. Beefheart on the other hand was a being who absorbed different chemicals from Earth's atmosphere.

He was abusive to his TMR bandmates though - to the point of running a cult. They resorted to shoplifting just to eat.

I hope the author sees this. Dude, your video is so awesome, thank you! But your microphone is "popping" every time you say a 'P' or a 'T' sound. This is because you are speaking directly into it. Try talking "past" it instead. Your vocal sound goes out in all directions, but the "wind" from your mouth that creates the pops only goes in one direction -- straight forward -- so if you slide your microphone to the side, you will still have good sounding audio with no pops.

That's because the purpose of the war on drugs is to "disrupt" and "criminalize" black and leftist communities. Obviously you can't just say the quiet part out loud, even though they have:

“We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or blacks, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin and then criminalizing them both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night in the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did,” - Richard Nixon’s domestic policy advisor John Ehrlichman, 1994.

The goal of the war on drugs was never to remove drugs from society or eliminate drug use. The US government introduced LSD to the 1960's counterculture through MKULTRA and crack cocaine into black neighborhoods. The US government funnels arms and money through drug cartels. The US government wants drugs on the streets, and wants them to be illegal, and wants drug laws to be arbitrary and cruel, because they know the specter of the angry black man and the dope-smoking communist will scare the mainstream so bad that they'll beg the government to be as violent and authoritarian as they like just to keep "law and order."

Yep, it's pretty universal in the US. You insulate the attic floor (ceiling of your rooms). This also means that you need to keep your attic cold. You do that by letting air in from your soffit vents to either ridge or gable vent. Ridge vent is arguably better because it runs along the right of your roof allowing the air to travel between the trusses that holds your roof up.
Learning by trying to teach is probably the best way to clarify and crystallize what we think we know. Always appreciate these kind of posts, especially since they tend to shine a line on all the contextual bullshit that experts take for granted.

Right now I’m doing the same for an identification/contextual guide of local weeds and insects for seasonal scouts (I’m an agronomist). Unfortunately I find complexity tends to quickly become fractal and highly interlinked and it’s hard to set an entry point or tell when to limit scope.

I think you’ve done a great job of doing just that.

They are gone now, but during COVID there were a bunch of relatively cheap, and what seemed to be pretty decent quality, 50-150W FM transmitters on Amazon.com. I thought that was odd. They were there for about 6-8 months. Probably not related to this but who knows. I remember looking them up from time to time thinking about how cool it would be to have a pirate radio station in the secluded area I lived in at the time.
Haha, this is pretty funny. I immediately thought of Cantor's diagonal argument when I saw the question, but it makes me wonder — how long would it have taken me to solve the problem if I hadn't previously read about Cantor's argument in the context of Turing machines?

Here's a variant: "Given a list of k LeetCode problems sourced from a bag of n unique tricks, generate a new LeetCode problem that utilizes a trick not found in the bag."

I'm being facetious of course, but actually now I have an idea that we could create a bipartite graph mapping tricks to LeetCode problems. From there, given a willingness to memorize n tricks, we can compute the optimal bag of tricks to commit to memory in order to maximize the number of LeetCode problems quickly solvable during an interview, weighted by the probability of each problem's appearance.
Another point to consider here is that this project of writing a cuBLAS level GEMM kernel becomes much more challenging if you are doing it with fp16, and are thus competing with the cuBLAS kernels that use tensor cores. The (theoretical) arithmetic throughput of tensor cores is ~8x higher as compared to fp32 math on the Turing arch, I dont know off the top of my head but I think this ratio is the same or greater for Ampere/Hopper tensor cores.

This makes the project proportionally harder in my opinion because you need to be that much more efficient with moving data through the memory hierarchy. With tensor cores, to get anywhere close to cuBLAS, you need to start with something like the most efficient kernel in simon's article, and then do stuff like shared memory swizzling, async global memory copies, double buffering, and writing a really efficient kernel epilogue to accumulate the C matrix into the product.

I came across this article a while ago and it inspired me to take a stab at this^, and as of now I have gotten to ~80% of the cuBLAS tensor core performance where the kernel is mostly compute bound, and I am close to giving up on the last ~20%, because I think I may need to write the inner loop in SASS to make sure the instruction mix between shared memory loads, mma instructions, and synchronizations is perfectly balanced so that none of the hardware pipelines get overloaded (see link below), and I have enough compassion for myself to not spend my free time doing stuff like that :). There are also certain things implemented in CUTLASS that seem important (look up serpentine traversal) but NVIDIA engineers wont talk about the hardware details required to understand why this helps.

>You can never accommodate the people from the suburbs, unless they have a station right next to their door and their office and a train coming every 5 minutes, a car will always be faster.

That's really not universally true. If I'm going in and out during commuting hours and drive to the commuter rail station, it's about a wash whether I take the train into the city or drive depending upon where I'm going and what local subway connection/walk I need to do.

It's pretty much useless outside of commuting hours though given limited train schedule and the fact that driving is faster at those times than rush hour. So I'll basically never take the train for an evening event.

A Bayesian analysis lets you see how the posterior varies as a function of the prior, instead of forcing you to pick a prior before you start.

The tighter the range of this function, the more confidence you have in the result.

You can never know anything if you absolutely refuse to have a prior, because that gives division by 0 in the posterior.

Wow, changing `count` type from uint64_t to uint32_t or int radically changes results - now gcc gets 26500 and clang gets 25000, that's just 1.7 times slower than current best solution.

#include <cstdint>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main() {
auto file_lo = (const uint8_t*)mmap(0,250000000ull,PROT_READ,MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_POPULATE,STDIN_FILENO,0);
int count = 0;
for (uint32_t i = 0; i < 250000000; ++i) {
if (file_lo[i] == 127) {
++count;
}
}
std::cout << count << std::endl;
_exit(0);
return 0;
}

> and it won't sound good if you haven't done a lot of intellectual homework

Before you can create a language or theory around music, there must be music. The math didn't come first. First came the music, and the math simply describes what is already there.

The first person who had a smidgeon of an idea that if they put two sounds together it might sound pleasing to the ear, probably didn't run to grab a pen to mathematically describe the concept of how frequencies behave together before discovering sounds that are pleasing.

You speak of doing intellectual homework in order to make music sound good, but the homework you mention required its own homework. Determining if something sounds good is not a mathematical operation, but a subjective and visceral one.

I’m not too familiar with gacha games, so I was intrigued. I thought the criticism of EA’s former CEO was funny. But the rest of the article felt like a lot of term-dropping and examples that aren't linked together into a cohesive theory, so I’m kind of disappointed. I think this industry talk about monetization (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNjI03CGkb4) and Tynan Sylvester’s book “Designing Games” were a lot more informative.

For example, the blog post says this but then doesn't really elaborate on what any of the clauses mean ("repeatable design levers", "without compromising the core gameplay experience"):

> A healthy long-term monetization system should therefore have repeatable design levers that can be used to reliably generate demand without compromising the core gameplay experience.

In contrast "Designing Games" has a whole section on fixed/variable reward schedules, e.g. (pg. 210):

> We can avoid such shelf moments by superimposing several fixed ratio schedules. Consider what happens when the player can get a dollar for every 10th chest, a diamond for every 10th rock mined, and an arrow for every 10th goblin killed. ... The player shifts focus back and forth between activities, never missing a dopamine-driven beat.

I asked some friends who play gacha games and they mentioned “stamina” mechanics as something that makes these game addictive. I’d never heard of it before, but apparently you’re limited to perform X number of actions per day. You can purchase some additional stamina/actions, but this creates FOMO if you don’t log in every day.

The pictures are easier to learn and use but they are not as expressive and precise as the more abstract text. Text is a marvelous innovation.

The author is claiming that Bayesians vary along two axes: (1) whether they generally try to inform their priors with their knowledge or beliefs about the world, and (2) whether they iterate on the functional form of the model based on its goodness-of-fit and the reasonableness and utility of its outputs. He then labels 3 of the 4 resulting combinations as follows:

┌───────────────┬───────────┬──────────────┐
│ │ iteration │ no iteration │
├───────────────┼───────────┼──────────────┤
│ informative │ pragmatic │ subjective │
│ uninformative │ - │ objective │
└───────────────┴───────────┴──────────────┘

My main disagreement with this model is the empty bottom-left box - in fact, I think that's where most self-labeled Bayesians in industry fall:

- Iterating on the functional form of the model (and therefore the assumed underlying data generating process) is generally considered obviously good and necessary, in my experience.

- Priors are usually uninformative or weakly informative, partly because data is often big enough to overwhelm the prior.

The need for iteration feels so obvious to me that the entire "no iteration" column feels like a straw man. But the author, who knows far more academic statisticians than I do, explicitly says that he had the same belief and "was shocked to learn that statisticians didn’t think this way."
The problem is they have several conflicting goals and education is only one of them. Secondary schools teach whatever their local government or state wants.

Historically, the US copied Prussian Frederick the Great's School system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prussian_education_system#Unit....

Meanwhile the universities saw themselves as research institutions. They view teaching as a pipeline to produce future researchers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_university

When the states met and decided what high schools teach, they created Common Core which was highly controversial. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Core#Reception_and_crit...

Now there are things like UT Austin's online high school where they teach everything like Khan Academy. Again they are teaching to meet whatever standard the state told them to meet. https://highschool.utexas.edu/hs_courses

I was referring to the fact that in Lisp everything is an expression, so technically Lisp doesn't stop you from writing something like this, whereas in Python you'd have to define distinct variables and nest them afterwards:

((if (< 1 0) + *) 42 100)

Now imagine if this were a bunch of deeply nested expressions...
It's not; never said as much.
I never liked the clubs you were expected to put yourself in, what "side" you were on, or the idea that problems in science that we see today could somehow be reduced to the inferential philosophy you adopt. In a lot of ways I see myself as information-theoretic in orientation, so maybe objective Bayesian, although it's really neither frequentist nor Bayesian.

This three cultures idea is a bit of slight of hand in my opinion, as the "pragmatic" culture isn't really exclusive of subjective or objective Bayesianism and in that sense says nothing about how you should approach prior specification or interpretation or anything. Maybe Gelman would say a better term is "flexibility" or something but then that leaves the question of when you go objective and when you go subjective and why. Seems better to formalize that than leave it as a bit of smoke and mirrors. I'm not saying some flexibility about prior interpretation and specification isn't a good idea, just that I'm not sure that approaching theoretical basics with the answer "we'll just ignore the issues and pretend we're doing something different" is quite the right answer.

Playing a bit of devil's advocate too, the "pragmatic" culture reveals a bit about why Bayesianism is looked at with a bit of skepticism and doubt. "Choosing a prior" followed by "seeing how well everything fits" and then "repeating" looks a lot like model tweaking or p-hacking. I know that's not the intent, and it's impossible to do modeling without tweaking, but if you approach things that way, the prior just looks like one more degree of freedom to nudge things around and fish with.

I've published and edited papers on Bayesian inference, and my feeling is that the problems with it have never been in the theory, which is solid. It's in how people use and abuse it in practice.
