ricv··on TPU v4: An Optically Reconfigurable Supercomputer for Machine Learning
Seeing people calling this an NVDA A100 killer, being passed around. Any thoughts on this having as much of an impact as stated.
ricv··on Our conscious experience of the world is a memory, says new theory
ah, you beat me to it. I linked some videos that highlight strafing in quake. Here's my favorite ut2k4 vid that would highlight what you're saying

strafe jumping in quake is far from trivial also various weapon aided jumps are required to play at the highest level, ut also has its own dodge jump mechanics and shield jumps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1MJPMl8B5Y

the engine physics explanation is explained here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTsXO6Zicls

being unable to execute this during a match like a duel means being at a massive disadvantage.

example of good strafe jumping coupled with a plasma jump to secure map/item control and pressure the opponent on the back-foot. https://youtu.be/GFTmYD95-cQ?t=1592

curious to which fps this is? painkiller? ut? quake? reflex? diabotical?
ricv··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (June 2022)

  Location: Chicago
  Remote: Yes
  Willing to relocate: Yes
  Technologies: Python, C, C++, Matlab, SQL
  Résumé/CV: Available upon request
  Email: rckvalde@gmail.com
Summary: Bs Physics, some finance graduate courses. Most of my programming experience is from computational physics and financial data. Have some knowledge of circuits and gates from physics labs and EE electives. Most of my self studying has been finance related, Garch, VaR, stochastic, derivative pricing, market microstructure and machine learning (murphy, bishop)

Recently did freelance work for a portfolio manager at a family office that allocates to hedge funds.

I'm eager to learn and receive mentorship from bright industry people while improving my programing and math abilities.

ricv··on Frances Allen has died
Hey, I just wanted to thank you for your reply covering the two semesters of stochastics in a condensed reply nearly 11 months ago in a different thread. I got too distracted reading up on it I forgot to reply. I cant tell you how much that helped with putting it all together conceptually. Given there is no way to reply to it now or dm you I figured this was the next best thing. Also anyway to get in contact with you with any future questions outside of here? especially since you mentioned you were previously working on an AI project. Any thoughts on High-Dimensional Statistics: A Non-Asymptotic Viewpoint by A. Martin Wainwright? It's currently what I'm trudging along through. You wouldn't happen to have a graycatmathhelp@email would you? thanks again
ricv··on Vectorized mentoring students in Distributed Systems
Hey, I think I meet these requirements, I have degree in physics, have some computational physics experience from classes doing some simple parallelization of nonlinear system (bug population) but have had a hard time bridging the gap to breaking into tech. I do have an idea and having a mentor would be very helpful, I was wondering where I could dm you. Thank you
ricv··on Gaussian Processes, not quite for dummies
ive been teaching myself stochastics, i personally find it really interesting. i really like Peter Medvegyev book Stochastic Integration Theory, do you have any thoughts on it? you really did a good job at summarizing the bigger picture in a few words, really helped, so thank you. any additional recommended resources that ties things together like this? edit: also liked the write up yugeten, was helpful
