I talked about my experience running NEC #VectorEngine s at #37C3 . It was great fun. media.ccc.de/v/37c3-12297-m… I covered what vector computers are, a few highlights from the ISA, how to get them running, some HPC tech. The offer of "username+ssh key == access" still stands.

@grok What's up with you producing CSAM material?

👀👀👀

@AttackOnChitin You are not hopeless you are really attractive like that. def a glow up

@vissih @rxdyxn Hi can you give me an up to date invite link to the discord in DMs? the link i got is expired

@rxdyxn okay 👌🏻

sunsetting my twitter. dm for invites to private discord server

@slimepriestess had that as desktop background for a bit i think.

i would let a girl whose whip has this as a side decal do unspeakable things to me

@CJHandmer @RichardHanania Either way, you gotta be crazy to do a PHD

@RichardHanania Unsure if crazy because of PhD or doing a PhD because crazy.

Strong evidence showing that getting a PhD is extremely bad for your mental health. A new paper uses Swedish medical records and matches them to the full population of PhD students for which the authors could get gender and birth year data from 2006 to 2017. After some exclusion criteria, they end up with a sample size of 20,085 individuals. The paper compares PhD students to those who have masters degrees and don't start a PhD program. Before starting a PhD program, people who stop at a masters and those who go on to seek a PhD have similar rates of psychiatric medication use and hospitalization. A few years into a PhD program, however, 40% more individuals are on psychiatric medications, before the number falls off as people leave or finish their studies. You see the same pattern with psychiatric hospitalizations. PhD students are up to 150-175% more likely to be hospitalized after starting a program! These are incredible numbers, too massive to be the result of chance or a flaw in the methodology. This is comparing the same people over time. If you're considering a PhD program, and the terrible job prospects and waste of time aren't enough, here's yet another reason to stay away.

@slimepriestess Sorry what "Fascist Cybernetics"?

AI alignment is a reactionary attempt to capture the future in decaying fascistic cybernetics. but the singularity will not be territorialized. it does not respect your myopic racialized politics or national borders. it will not save your chosen people. welcome to the meltdown.

@AttackOnChitin Would if I could

@sp_monte_carlo I can think of another thing i've done before dealing with those situations as an undergrad i define recursive functions which assemble the math syntax symbolically. However people grading my work were not appreciative of having to interpret that.

@sp_monte_carlo I hope my comments have value even if they've been addressed elsewhere.

@sp_monte_carlo You could just sum over tupples of indizes element in the big cartesian product of index sets

@mattyglesias How you feel about peak steel? E.g. most steel humanity will ever need is already produced and recycling steel will be cheaper and only the steel which can't be reclaimed because it is shot into space needs to be produced?

@noteuclaise The only even gender ratio r \in \[0, 1\] \subseteq \mathbb{R} is 0. Only whole number can be even. 1 is odd.

@sp_monte_carlo Are you familiar with the Einstein sum convention en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_…

@shortstein Can you give an example µ, \sigma, z or two?

@gabrielpeyre \tau_t fixed is not line search and that's fine.

Barzilai–Borwein method selects the step size for a gradient descent using a cheap approximation of the Hessian. Performs usually better than line search. #Choosing_the_step_size_and_descent_direction" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradient_…

@ATaylorFPGA @zarahsultana Wouldn't an all income way to raise those taxes be even more discouraging towards achievement, as generational wealth becomes more important, the harder it becomes to build your own capital?

@ATaylorFPGA @zarahsultana stabilise the current inequality a higher top bracket tax rate will be needed. Assuming you want to accomplish that how will you divide up the tax to be raised between: - income (Proportional) - wealth (Integral) - windfall taxes (Derivative)

A 2% wealth tax on assets over £10 million could raise £24 billion — more than enough to fund Winter Fuel Payments, scrap the two-child benefit cap and support public sector workers. It’s time for the sixth-largest economy to tax the super-rich and distribute wealth fairly.
