It's less compromised, but it's still basing the answer on compromised queries. This is why I pay for independent reviews (e.g Which) where their incentives are more aligned with y…

A single energy source having a capacity factor of 10% does not imply that gas plants will have to run 90% of the time. It ignores storage, over-provisioning, aggregation of uncorr…

Could you give some sources for this? I can't seem to find anything with a cursory search, but I'd be interested in reading.

The JuliaParallel/rodinia repo says that the focus of those benchmarks is the CUDA versions. I suspect that the CPU versions have not had much optimization effort spent on them. Ju…

I broadly agree that it can be hard to nail down Julia's behaviour but it does have static typing and I think it is more subtle. Function arguments and variables can be concrete ty…

I'm not an expert, but a very quick search showed a meta analysis[1] which considers the false positives of using volatile biomarkers as a diagnosis. The original paper[2], of whic…

Computing convolutions using FFTs is efficient for large kernels (or filters). Most convolutions in popular ML models have small kernels, a regime where it is typically more effici…
