@alex.forencich The point that you make about the CPU clock frequency being thermally limited is only valid to a point. If you look at liquid nitrogen overclocking, you keep the temperatures well below 273K, but you still can’t run a CPU at even double the clock frequency. You can run quite a bit faster, maybe 50% on well binned silicon, but not that much faster.
@TedShifrin It may not be the best way to compute the $QR$ decomposition, but when I was looking into it made sense, and I was not very good at working with householder reflections.
It wasn't my TA. I just found the paper on the internet, and it was quite helpful in understanding how the QR decomposition can be computed with the Gram-Schmidt process.
@DHMO you can diverge for some specific sequences. For example alternating the signs of the recirpocals of posotive integers produces a convergent series. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergent_series
@ChrisD I would recommend this week in machine learning and artificial intelligence. I listen to it on a regular basis and I think it is a great podcast.
