    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 i…

    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 e…

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
