On my old Mac: Python=133.5 s, Numba=2.61 s (parallel prange in count_primes), Taichi=1.8 s. (on ti.cpu, but fails with metal).

Yeah, stir some mysterious ideas, maybe someone sees there a meaning. Quite surprised with this kind of vague magical thinking coming from lesswrong (thought they were rationalists or something).

Python + Jupyter OK, but pandas actually reads everything at once, doesn’t it. 100MB is no problem but bigger files could result in high swapping pression.

A really interesting collection for teaching Data Science. But the "WorkshopScipy" and the "scientific computation" make reference to something like scipy.org. It seems that this repo has different interests.

New comment by anst in "Ask HN: What maths are critical to pursuing ML/AI?"

anst — Mon, 28 Aug 2017 16:26:13 +0000

What "maths" is keras? Or scikit-learn? For what it's worth, to understand scikit-learn doc/tutorial I'd say you'll need Probability, Linear Algebra, Multivariate Calculus and, yeah, Stats. Not necessarily at a PhD level but still. And more you understand maths farther you can get in AL/ML.
