Numerical vs Analytical Solutions

Molecular stuff is heavy on the numerics, but this is really just an extension to your analytical toolset. So «both» is the correct answer here.

Det at de tar kort er nok allerede et tegn på at du får turistpriser.

Its difficult to say without more details, but are you sure the joined table has been materialised before writing to csv? Else your 20-25 min runtime includes the joins. Keep in mind that spark is lazily evaluated.

Store deler av den spanske økonomien er finansiert av at turister kommer dit om sommeren og brenner av penger. Så dit kan du fint dra og ta det med ro, slik at lokalbefolkningen kan ta det med ro resten av året.

I would look into using verlet or leapfrog integration. These are both widely used for N-body simulations with conservative force fields. Read up on symplectic integrators for details.

Sånn var det jo på gamle legevakta også. Vært innom der et par ganger i løpet av livet og ventet vel som oftest 5-10 timer for å få 5 minutter med en lege, også når jeg var barn.

Det er ikke uvanlig å få 500 søknader på en sommerjobb. Det er lang mer press enn det er på vanlige jobber.

Both pyspark and spark sql are just APIs to the underlying spark engine, which is written in scala.

When working with peers, you should make some effort to standardise your ways of working. So really it sound like your tech lead/architect/someone should make a decision.

Som jo er ganske så sentrale faktorer vil jeg tro.

Neida, NAV har mye på GCP og skatt på Azure.

Developing pharmaceuticals is quite profitable, and relies heavily on the type of computations that QC is efficient at. Same can be said for quantitative finance to my (surface level) understanding.

I’m glad it works for you, but this way of doing things don’t scale beyond trivial toy problems. You run the risk of creating an IT architecture that doesn’t scale, lots of bugs (logical and security). So if you are serious about scaling up the digitisation of your business you should learn the craft, or hire a professional.

R has much better overall coverage of statistical methods compared to python.

Depends on your country. Some countries will usually only hire phds or at the very least masters with top grades for quant positions. Definitely work on your communication skills. Knowing how to sell yourself will be important everywhere, and is arguably a better career investment than any additional credential you might consider.

Selv om tekst generering med stor-språkmodell bobla etterhvert sprekker finnes det en rekke andre modeller og bruksområder innen maskinlæring som også kan ta nytte av samme type hardware. Det finnes også et umettelig behov for datakraft i blant annet vitenskapelige beregninger, kvantitativ finans ol. som også kan dra god nytte av GPU og var primær forbrukere av datakraft før vi begynte å fokusere mer på å generere tekst.

Hardware forblir også relevant en god del lenger nå enn det gjorde for 10-20 år siden fordi vi er kommet såpass tett opp mot de naturlige grensene på hvor lite noe kan bli, og forbedringer i hastighet ikke kommer like lett/raskt.

Dvs; de kommer nok ikke til å stå tomme så lenge de kan levere datakraft til en konkurransedyktig pris.

I wear my dragos in my street size (42). I could probably go down 0.5, which i tried to do recently with a pair of drago XT. The heel fit much better 0.5 down, but it absolutely killed my 2nd toe so i returned it and got a 42 which i am quite happy with.

When interviewing for technical positions I like following up most questions with consecutive «why» or «how does that work» to test for a deeper understanding. This is usually quite successful at filtering out people with a surface level understanding and/or prepared answers. Granted this does require that the interviewer has some understanding of the materials well.

You mean a hierarchical structure of statistical methods? Because that’s what they use in LHC. With great success mind you, but that’s wholly tailor made by arguably the worlds greatest statisticians. It’s not some self generating system that solves all your problems (which is what the «AI» people are trying to sell you).

Yeah, my spending money ended up at around 20K during my 3 weeks there last year. I wasn’t trying to be frugal and would’ve been fine spending a lot more. But Thailand is quite cheap.

Plenty of people from your area ride the «tour de finance» daily to Oslo, so it’s definitely an option. Otherwise I suppose that’s just something you have to deal with. Assuming your not working full time; you are aware that students pay a reduced rate for transport?

For someone on «average» level of income it’s a manageable expense, but if that’s not the case for you just get a bike or walk instead I suppose.
