I think the best compromise would be to get the best of two words. By default perform bound checks, but have a compiler flag which skips it. Might broke many programs written with default behaviour in mind, but allow perform additional optimizations.
this is exactly what julia does. boundschecks are default on, and there are compiler flags --- either locally, via the `@inbounds` macro, or globally with `--check-bounds=no`--- to disable them
Hi ziotom!
I wonder about you work in 3D Cifford Algebras. May you share some links to the research you do? I also have interest in this topic I research on my own.
Just in case if you don't want to disclose your name my email is northzen@gmail.com
Computer Vision engineer and former Product Owner at Mosaic (geospatial imaging). Background in applied mathematics; spent 5+ years on 3D reconstruction, SfM pipelines, multi-camera calibration, and LiDAR processing. Built calibration pipelines for panoramic camera systems. Delivered large-scale photogrammetry projects for VFX clients including Netflix and Apple TV — hundreds of thousands of images per reconstruction. Owned products across calibration, image processing, and LiDAR pipelines end-to-end.
Now independent — focused on novel 3D reconstruction methods and Gaussian Splatting. Open to co-founding / product-engineer roles or consulting on hard Computer Vision problems. Short form of project based cooperation is also doable.
In my current job-free time I'm exploring Julia, Geometric Algebra for computer vision.
To machine. It just easier to be polite by default than split our language into two forms "I speak to human" and "I speak to machine". Because the chat interface is really close to what we see when we speak to human. Well, exactly the same.

I didn't even think about the analogy to sampling (and the prior controversy) but that is an even better analogy. Ultimately, the different between what's creative re-use and what's a ripoff is a matter of how skillfully it's done and there's a lot of controversy in the middle!
I agree. Pixi solves all of that issues and is fully open source including the packages from conda-forge.
Too bad there is nowadays the confusion with anaconda (the distribution that requires a license) and the FOSS pieces of conda-forge. Explain that to your legacy IT or Procurement -.-
Pixi inherited some ot the bad designs from conda, and conda clearly hadnt been close to solving python packaging either and was digging itself into a black hole over time.
I'm curious to hear about your work geometric optics with PyTorch. May I ask you to share some examples of something you are working on right now?
