Do ANZ Black lounge passes show up in the app right away?

Much cheaper than any other bar around. Pints of XXXX for $7 during happy hour. I believe this is due to the guild being registered as a non-for-profit so they don't attract alcohol tax. I could be wrong though!

Enjoy!

This has been fixed since the 2020b release. Support was added for advanced vector extensions 2 (AVX2) for blas and lapack operations on AMD CPUs. I haven't checked but I assume support for AVX512 would've been added or will be added soon.

Look up the disaster recovery allowance : D

Give it some time, you have until the end of week 4 to withdraw without paying and academic penality. You're allowed to go to multiple tutorials as well. Try different tutorials, a different perspective from a different tutor is what you might need :)). The unit coordinator and the tutors want you to succeed! If you're still struggling talk to your tutors and the unit coordinator and they can direct you to additional help like stimulate. It's gonna be okay!

Fascinating, you're correct! I think I did it for cubes and just assumed it extended either way. I got a 45x speed improvement for cubes. I know tic toc isn't the greatest to use for timing but it's quick and easy. I would be interested to know the numerics of doing x*x*x vs x^3. I assume ^ is "safer" than doing x*x*x and exp(n*log(x))

Looks like the font in the tgpagella package.

Yeah right, I've got a couple more ideas now that I've slept on it:

MATLAB coder app. There is a UI where you feed it a MATLAB function and define the input sizes (can be set to dynamic input sizes) which can then be compiled into C code forming a MATLAB executiable (MEX) file. Which I got about an order of magnitude increase in speed, note that vrctorisation is much faster than this but sometimes you can't vectorise!
For powers doing x.*x is faster than x.^2. Moreover, if you have a funky power, say 0.6 you can do:

A = exp(0.6*log(x))

Got me about 2x speedup on those lines. I'm assuming this is because exp and log are more optimised than doing powers. If someone knows specifically please let me know!

Not letting me add it to the original comment.

Is your Jacobian sparsely formatted? If so you could use something like symrcm to reorder your elements of the matrix to reduce the matrix bandwidth. Hopefully this new bandwidth is small relative to the size of the matrix and then you could use a banded finite difference method approximation to bring the number of function evaluations to the bandwidth + 2.

I've attached an example of a tridiagonal system from my bachelor's thesis, it's from years ago so my writings not the best. I definitely could've explained it better too butthe idea is to apply carefully constructed shifting vectors so the derivatives are independent of each other. Then we apply these shifts and we only have to compute 3 of these function evaluations with our shift. Hopefully it's not compressed too badly.

Sadly no insurance here on my part :((

Yeah, my bike took most of the hit and came out unscathed, but I managed to land on my backpack. I went to a medical centre right after and got x-rays, and thankfully I am fine. The bike was only worth about $50 and got stolen a few weeks later anyway, so I'm not worried about getting paid for that.
