Major programming languages are 100 times faster than major programming languages.

  • We start with the easiest to speed up and use benchmarks where the improvement results are most dramatic.

  • Not as fast as expected when used extensively.

    • “The AI I’m writing in Python will be 100 times faster?!!!”
    • It won’t, because the matrix operations that make up the bulk of AI processing are already in fast libraries written in C or Fortran.
  • If used well, it can be faster in some cases.

    • Knowledge of how to use it well is needed.
    • When it comes to videos that require knowledge, we need to compare how they compare to similar tools like Numba or PyPy.
    • I’ll reserve judgment for now until I see how it compares to something like that.
  • Difference in observation range
