  1. I've always enjoyed the dry clarity of Amartya Sen's prose. Here he discusses the supposed benefits of British Imperialism for India, saying:

    #colonialism #imperialism #India #AmartyaSen #Britain (1/6) 🧵

  2. 1/2

    Calling #Theil's #inequality measure an "#entropy" irritated #AmartyaSen. From Amartya Sen's "#OnEconomicInequality" (#OEI) I learned a lot about #InequalityMeasures. But entropy seems not do go down too well with him (1973) and his co-author #JamesEricFoster (1997): When describing the "interesting" "#TheilEntropy" (chapter 2.11), Sen sees a contradiction between entropy being a measure of "#disorder" in #thermodynamics and entropy being a measure for "#equality".

  5. «Any city however small, is divided at least into two,
    one the city of the poor, the other of the rich;
    these are hostile to each other.» (#Plato, #Politeia, 370 BC) 

    #Phyton2 script inequality.snrk.de/oei/ for computing the #inequality measures described in #AmartyaSen's #OEI. I added my own inequality measure to the big zoo of inequality measures. The "Plato index" is hidden in the script.

    I wrote this hack many years ago and now would need quite some time to remember, what I did then.🙂

  6. Catastrophic overfitting can be induced with discriminative non-robust features

  7. KdeEcoTest on Windows? Yes 🚀

    #KdeEcoTest is used for creating replicable scripts for measuring software's #energy consumption.

    Season of #KDE contributor Amartya Chakraborty has extended its support to Windows.

    KdeEcoTest creates scripts without requiring access to source code. Soon we can compare energy profiles of Okular vs. Acrobat!

  8. KdeEcoTest makes it easy to create usage scenario scripts. These are necessary for measuring the software's energy consumption & hardware and network usage in the lab.

    Athul Raj Kollareth will work on improving the tool using KWin scripting API and uinput.

    Amartya Chakraborty (@c_amartya) will work on adding support for Windows.

    The KdeEcoTest tool does not need access to source code, so we can compare Free Software to proprietary software doing the same tasks.

  9. In this excerpt from her book "We Are Not Okay" Christian Livermore writes about the shame she will forever carry for growing up poor:

    "Nobel laureate Amartya Sen tells us that shame lies at the core of poverty. Anyone who grew up poor instinctively knows this to be true. She feels that shame every minute of every day, in the background if she is feeling good, in her face if she is not."

    Creare capacità. Liberarsi dalla dittatura del PIL, di Martha C. Nussbaum.

    Interessante lettura, parte dalla base teorica di Amartya Sen e la sviluppa oltre la sola sfera economica.
    Ci sono tanti spunti interessanti.

  20. The struggle and perseverance to get this output from the Cerebras CSL compiler 😌

  21. My brain is absolutely fried.
    Today is the last day of coursework submissions for this semester. What a hectic month.
    DNN with PyTorch, Brain model parallelisation with MPI, SYCL and OpenMP offloading of percolation models,hand optimizing serial codes for performance.
    Two submissions due today. Submitted one and finalising my report for the second one.
    Definitely having a pint after this

  22. Started SYCL this semester in my MSc, and I have a coursework on it.
    I have never been more frustrated in my life.
    I am not saying SYCL is bad. I might just be too dumb to master it in a sem in order to port an existing CPU code to use MPI & SYCL together.
    CUDA was much easier for me for the same task.

  23. My work for the month is to optimise the matrix adressing scheme of OpenFOAM to reduce cache miss. Initial idea is to replace the LDU Matrix addressing scheme with Diagnol matrix addressing scheme using multiple arrays for structures meshes. Will check it out on a simple 2D Poisson equation using Gauss-Seidel solver to check performance benefits, and will eventually proceed to introduce a new solver as a plugin if benefits are noticeable.
    Wish me luck.

  24. Might publish a blog or two in a few weeks about my work with OpenFOAM, different profilers, and an implementation of an LBM CFD kernel on RISC-V with POSITS.

    What a great company to be working for. Learning so much!

  25. Listening to “Lekin” by JJ47 while running experiments using OpenMP on Cirrus as part of my coursework. Nice Saturday evening.
