Awesome, looking forward to use this. What was the hardest part of this project? What motivated you to attempt creating this?

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding, but isn't FEM used in physics engines because it is an good approximation for the underlying physics? For example, I believe the Drake Physics engine uses FEM to model deformable materials relating t

What's wrong with that statement? FEM is a good way to handle deformables, but it isn't the only way, so it a fine statement.

> If you look at existing GPU applications, their software implementations aren't truly GPU-native. Instead, they are architected as traditional CPU software with a GPU add-on. For example, pytorch uses the CPU by default and GPU ac

Absence of evidence doesn't mean you can conclude that there was no hierarchy or social organization though. For that you would need evidence that there wasn't. There seems to be an issue with how archeology is taught at schools,

Why are we assuming that the top of a hierarchy must dress better and eat better than everyone else? They could just be leaders who command everyone, but still an assumption of equality when it comes to good. Also hierarchy doesn't mea

This is my main problem with archeology. They take a small amount of evidence for something and use it confidently for their conclusion. There are so many other possibilities why something could be true, but those are ignored for whatever t

Ah makes sense, I was thinking there was some deeper insight I was missing. Thanks!

I would couple the Experiment and the theory together, and treat them both deserving of the prize, but not sure how it works in practice. As for the general technique of ML, sure, it's important but it seems to me that it's a tool

What insight did you gain from back propagation that you didn't have from just the formula of the chain rule?

I’m confused why confirming important predictions is considered less impactful than ML in physics. Isn’t experimental confirmation exactly what’s required for a Nobel Prize?

> nebulously stupid standards You should listen to the racist recording. It wasn't nebulous, it was clearly and explicitly racist. Most people think he went way too far. This isn’t a case of subtle racism where people might be overr

This take is nonsensical. People don’t bring up George Floyd’s past when discussing him because it isn’t relevant to the circumstances of his death. When people protest or talk about him, they’re focusing on the way he died and how cruel it
