The `torch.compile` API itself will not be available from C++. That means that you won't get the pytorch 2.0 performance gains if you use it via C++ API. There's no plan to depreca…

Do you actually think it would be a good thing if an IRB was required for this type of thing? Sure, it's "human experimentation" but the likelihood for any serious harm is basicall…

That it is a little different. There you are estimating a continuous parameter (which happens to be interpretable as a probability) and it makes sense to have a probability distrib…

They are giving probabilities for discrete events, which already captures their level of uncertainty. Probabilities of probabilities (i.e., a probability distribution of a probabil…

Yes, but most likely the fact that the natural gas is being used instead of oil or coal leads to a large net reduction in carbon emissions

Yes, 100% agree with last paragraph. And the waiting for me to type Hello back pattern is so annoying. This really should be basic work etiquette. Type your whole question in one g…

You are not wrong, except it's not usually a big loan. The witholding rates are chosen so that in most cases what is withheld is close to your final tax bill. In all countries I kn…

You do get a paper receipt, which is just your normal sales receipt (which usually I just throw away immediately). You can also check all your receipts online, on the Finance Minis…

It is true. The prize used to be a car, now it is government bonds. It is fully automatic. You just tell the cashier your tax id number, and you are set. No need to keep the receip…

It is not quite that bad. Tax withholding rates are not marginal, they do apply to the whole salary. But the actual tax rates at the end of the year are marginal. So it is possible…

It may have been a "crusade", but it does not seem to me it was personal.

I am genuinely surprise at how confidently you (quite wrongly) diagnosed my problem. What I did mean, was that for my use cases, I found Mathematica was superior to the alternative…

As a former physicist that used Mathematica heavily not that long ago, I have to disagree. It would be great if there were open source alternatives that were "superior in every way…

This is not entirely correct. The reduction in tax liabilities will be much smaller than you might expect and this is not a merger motivated purely by that. For an in depth discuss…

> It’s not really a feature, it’s an operator that can be overloaded. That is, instead of using `mymodule.dot(a, b)`, you can use the much less readable `a @ b`. I disagree with yo…
