Fun #Perl project, writing buff.ly/4dV5Iwl

Fun project: a #memory manager for multi-lang applications (#c, #cplusplus #assembly #fortran) in which workflow management is done by #Perl. Currently allocates using either #perl strings or #glibc malloc/calloc. Other allocators #jemalloc coming soon. buff.ly/4dV5Iwl

I'm excited to see this true GFR measurement drug/device nearing FDA approval. Imagine injecting a inert fluoroprobe, slapping a pulse-ox like monitor on them and in less than 1 hr knowing their mGFR. You could also monitor for changes in mGFR over12-24h. kidney-international.org/article/S0085-…

Happy Skynet Awareness Day !

Which way #Bayesian #rstats person ?

Help Christos, Bayesians

Despite not making the top, JAGS delivered nicely in terms of wall time and ESS in the application context of a regression mixture against the comparators. I was surprised to see that variational inference in Stan ended up taking a lot of time to get the Pareto kappa down.

Just started this book , and OMG, it is amazing. The first chapter includes gems such as : "We are in the world where you have to understand #hardware and how #software maps to it" #openmp #gpu #parallelprogramming #hpc amazon.com/Programming-Yo… OpenMP ARB

This review of #MCMC convergence diagnostics is VERY good annualreviews.org/content/journa… It pairs well with this article about convergence of #MonteCarlo in #GPU friendly samplers arxiv.org/abs/2110.13017 For the serious #Bayesians who refuse to do sloppy numerical work #stats

For those who are interested in a very beautiful programming language , #perl, there is a discord server you can join (just reply/DM, and I will send you the link to join). These are some of the topics we dabble with. A few of us are doing unthinkable stuff, eg, link c/asm/perl
