PyTorch wraps THNN, not Torch. Moreover, even if this was true, it wouldn't matter at all. Practically 0% of the overhead is related to Python in the first place, all of the time is dominated by the underlying C implementation.

I've personally found pytorch easier to use than Keras. It's undoubtably easier to use than Tensorflow, of course.

He’s not talking about on a risk adjusted basis. Moreover, EMH is a framework for understanding, not some magical law. There are funds who’s returns over time are like a 10 sigma event.

The S&P isn’t a reasonable benchmark to PE in the first place. Your argument is like saying: “US Teasuries underperform the S&P by 8% every year, people and countries buying treasuries are stupid and just want to be part of some sec

I would personally (and have) put my monry on Trump winning against Warren or Sanders (Though he’s probably gonna drop out). Against Biden maybe 60/40 against Trump.

Is this argument for government regulation or against? I see ss an argument against, but I’m sure most people disagree.

Yes, fine. I agree. But if Amazon did the security screens off their property, should they be comped? Moreover, why not just make the workers salaried so they can’t complain?

I wouldn’t call CS a hard science, it should be grouped with liberal arts like math.

Why’s that? I would consider economics a hard science.

All he’s saying that the further mean and median are from each, the more importsnt it is that we think about what an average implies about the sample.

So it would be all good if Amazon did security checks at home?

If I would get fired for not wearing clothes, should I get compensated for the time it takes me to get dressed? Also we could also talk about: dry clean suits, taking showers, cutting hair, shaving, putting on make-up, etc.

Have you ever used Linux? What kind of features do some distros have that others don’t? You can run anything you want to.

“ Yes, there are multiple harassers which then could slow my connection. Within minutes after shortening my wifi range, there were verbal complaints like - "I hate you". Bluetooth may well be the way for the talking, but of course

That’s not exactly how it works. New CPUs and GPUs support new features that you could never test on old hardware: AVX, real-time raytracing, etc.

Sounds fine too me. I’m not saying there should be no wheelchair accessible stations, but seeing that they are a miniscule minority, I don’t think that my tax dollars be paying to make everything accessible to them. It’s not possible, anywa

What’s wrong with NJ Transit? Besides everything of course, but at least most of NJ is connected to NYC through Secaucus. I can’t even imagine what people did before that station.

I used to pay $200 for my car per month at a garage. Not bad considering that a NJ monthly pass for me would have been over $400.

If something is hard, it means it’s gonna make you better than something that is easy. A lot of classes in college were in compsci (I dropped out before I finished though), and in retrospect, it was a mistake. I was too interested and too g

I used to think that statistics was “dirty” math in college, but now it’s my favorite. It’s so easy to ask interesting off the cuff questions. And when you actually have the tools to begin to work on these questions, it becomes exhilirating

Math + Philosophy I think is a great combo. My study of philosophy in college opened my eyes like nothing else I’ve ever learned since besides Daoism (though that might count as philosophy as well, I guess).

Why would IBM set a hard limit on that, though? Assuming defects are normally distributed, it would make more sense to say: mean of X per N defective parts, with a variance of Y with a P-value of Z. Though who am I kidding, no one probably

I would expect poorer people to do more physical work. I live in a 3rd world country and let me tell you, the people who get the most exercise aren’t doing it in their free time.

1) Buy-side and sell-side are completely different beasts. 2) Even today, bonds are traded OTC and mostly by people. In the 1990's, 100% of bonds were traded by people. Bond market cap dwarfs equity market cap. 3) Exotic OTC options we

Total US equity market cap is around 30 trillion. Total money in ETFs is 4.5 trillion. So at the very least machines are investing over 10% of capital. Probably more like 20-30% Of course this only US and only equities, but it's still
