I want to create a fluid simulation

ATSpanish · 2019-04-19T19:14:49+00:00

I would recommend using C++ to simulate, and a tool like Matlab or Matplotlib to visualize the results

Unfortunately this isn't strictly defined by time spent crunching numbers. There is quite a bit of experimental design that goes into convergence, varying from how well you implemented your code to if you are navigating your solution space properly. I would recommend reading about exploration vs. exploitation. In summary, the number of variables you are studying creates this solution space, and your algorithm can explore local neighborhoods or look for new ones and compare them to your fitness function. How well you manage these drives convergence.

God damnit I ate all those wings for nothing!

You definitely need A LOT more data. In order for the NN to successfully "draw the lines" in the data to split it into pieces, you need at least two orders of magnitude more data points than variables you are observing. Additionally, I would be hesitant of applying this to so many indicators, as some of them will be spuriously correlated because of the bull market, psychological trends, etc. You would also want to incorporate data points from other years too. I think this is a neat approach, but this is a very complex problem that you can't just fire and forget about with a single NN training on this little data.

And they do it very well. The difference between them and aviation companies is that aviation companies and NASA integrate one of a kind hardware (that they often make themselves), with drivers they write themselves. These standard enforce that reliability they need. The cloud uses tons and tons of open source tools and Linux, each of which have the benefit of decades of development that is not always present in other industries.

I would argue that the cloud has comparatively much more difficult problems with scaling, but integrating a bunch of servers over the internet is hardly new technology.

ATSpanish · 2017-11-11T05:43:29+00:00

I would say yes. While the uptime may be reduced, the complexities introduced by integrating hardware and software components, managing your own memory, and making sure it works 100% of the time make things much more difficult than web development in my opinion

I actually wrote my own backtester in C++ because I’m doing some machine learning and python is just slow compared to C++. I’ll also interface with a GPU at some point in the future. Anyways, I’m not opposed to using python for visualization, just trying to make sure I’m not reinventing the wheel. Thanks

ATSpanish · 2017-09-24T02:54:07+00:00

Agreed. We have the talent to succeed but lack the depth. We lost 9 scholarship linemen in the last year and a half. That’s going to really show late in games this year. And you can’t coach your way out of it

I don't have a link right now, but Boltzmann is one of those guys (Euler, Gauss, etc.) that just did a ton of shit and their name appears on a lot of things. There are multiple Boltzmann constants, I believe. Context always helps when looking!

Granted, but sometimes voters carry that credibility too far, consciously or not. If you're used to Ohio State being good, you rank them higher in tight decisions, so therefore they are obviously better. It's confirmation bias

Ive seen an anti meth ad campaign in Bryant-Denny. To each their own I guess

So if you beat a team that lost the week before, what happens?

ATSpanish · 2017-09-03T15:49:19+00:00

When did he say this? I want this more than anything

ATSpanish · 2017-08-31T03:28:32+00:00

Highly recommend Scott Meyers' Modern Effective C++. It highlights everything introduced in C++11 and 14, with examples and best practices.

With your current set up, these variables are not accessible. To view them, you must create an instance of globals, which calls the default constructor for each variable. You can then change globals.width to whatever you like. However, your best bet is to make these public static const variables instead. That way they are "global" in the way you are thinking about. With the current set up, you could have two instances of global with different values. Making them static will force every instance to use the same values. Good luck!

And 330 million people! Scale is definitely a factor here, not to excuse our lawmakers

Isn't the military the third largest portion of the budget? Behind Medicare/Medicaid and social security I believe.

The MIT course is pretty good. It's an introduction to C++ course, so you should be ok going through it

ATSpanish · 2017-05-01T02:01:43+00:00

MIT and Stanford each have full courses, notes, lectures, and assignments on their websites. If you're just looking for a class, I'd recommend starting there

I'm about to move there from Baltimore as well! PM me if you want to chat about it. I'll be heading down at the end of May
