whyrt12··on Introducing Keras 2
I WANT to use pytorch, but no bayesian learning or stochastic nodes like in edward. Any chance there are plans to for a compatibility layer with Edward or roll your own bayesian stuff?

Also, have you looked at Numba to do the jitting? Probably best not to have yet another separately maintained python JIT.

whyrt12··on R Passes SAS, but Python Leaves Them Both Behind
It does not have a tracing JIT, and its speed is by far not the only benefit. See link below

It can precompile very fast code before runtime.

Python will require an interpreter and or hefty runtime.

Once you can compile a julia app- front end, back and probabilistic prog/ML to web assembly and have it run in browser and mobile, it will skyrocket in popularity.

whyrt12··on What I learned as a hired consultant to autodidact physicists
Can tou explain why qm and bell's inequality do not categorically undermine determinism and prove deep randomness ?

Is it because on a macro scale amd normal energy levels effects are negligible? Because there are well followed probability distributions?
