Will Andrew Cuomo Ever Run for President?
The governor of New York has been a central figure in the coronavirus response. Will his newfound popularity spur him to throw his hat in the presidential ring?
By Norman Vanamee
Andrew Cuomo, New York State's taciturn and iron-fisted governor, has sprung onto the national stage recently as a source of comfort and inspiration during the coronavirus pandemic. This unlikely transformation has been chronicled by the media and a newly adoring public, which now looks forward to certain trademark moments in the governor's routine.
There's the Andrew Cuomo Daily News Briefing—blunt, businesslike, full of terrible numbers tempered by genuine moments of hope and compassion. It's nice to hear a leader tell the truth—and urge us to embrace our better angels.
There's also the Andrew Cuomo TV Banter with His Cable-Host Brother: Appearances by the governor were previously forbidden by Chris Cuomo's CNN bosses (for obvious journalism-ethics reasons) but the current crisis has loosened up the rules, and these conversations are full of brotherly burns, mentions of mom, and illuminating exchanges about government and COVID-19.
And of course, the crowd favorite, Andrew Cuomo Gets Mad, in which the Governor let's rip with some righteous indignation at Donald Trump and the lackluster federal response (a.k.a where the hell are the ventilators); Bill DeBlasio and his ambling approach to shutting down the city, and much more.
With allies and foes alike praising him and his popularity ratings higher than ever, many people wonder if Cuomo might be ready for a presidential run. "I wouldn't mind running against Andrew. I have known Andrew for a long time. I wouldn't mind that," President Trump told Fox News.
So, is he considering it?
Well, He Told His Brother Chris "No"
On air, the governor's brother asked him point blank if he'd run. "No," was the simple answer that came back. Chris followed up: "How can you know what you might think about at some point right now?"
"Because I know what I might think about, and what I won't think about," came Andrew's definitive reply.

But This Isn't the First Time a Cuomo Candidacy Has Come Up
The possibility of a Cuomo presidential run has obsessed Albany watchers for the better part of his two-and-a-half terms as governor. Speculation became particularly active after Cuomo managed to push through a law legalizing same-sex marriage in 2012 and again when he signed a bill in 2016 increasing the minimum wage in the state to $15 an hour—both progressive legislative victories in a typically conservative Albany statehouse.
In his book, The Contender: Andrew Cuomo, a Biography, Michael Shnayerson explored Cuomo's political rise, from his years working for his father, New york Governor Mario Cuomo, to his time as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in the Clinton Administration, his failed run for governor in 2002, and his ultimately successful one in 2010.
"Cuomo has always demonstrated qualities that make him an attractive presidential candidate," Shnayerson tells T&C.

Cuomo Has Displayed Calm Under Pressure Before
"Cuomo has always been at his best in times of crisis," says Shnayerson. "It's a transformation that everyone from statehouse journalists to Albany politicos have watched over the years with awe, if not also a bit of eye-rolling." One recent example Shnayerson cites is the Governor's response during Hurricane Sandy in 2012. "He tore around flooded lower Manhattan, communicating with first responders, rattling off orders. He was a beacon of leadership.
"Now Cuomo is at it again, but this time keeping not just a city reassured, not just a state, but more and more the whole country as he uses that crisis skillset to coordinate a national response to the coronavirus."
He Learned Early That Government Plays a Crucial Role in Times of Crisis
"Where does it come from, this command-and-control gene? With Andrew–and, for that matter, his brother Chris–all roads lead back to Mario," says Shnayerson. "As governor, the family patriarch preached a mantra that, 'Government, done right, could fill our needs, the more dramatic those needs the better.'"
As a young man, Andrew carried out this sense of mission in a revealing way, points out Shnayerson, by working college vacations and summers as an AAA tow truck driver. "If you were stranded at night on the New York State Thruway in the mid-1970s, chances were good that the truck that came to rescue you was driven by Andrew."
But Cuomo Will Never Be Warm and Fuzzy
"Despite his daily briefings on the virus, no one in Albany thinks Governor Cuomo has turned into Mr. Rogers," says Shnayerson. "He's still a brutal manager, prone to fits of temper, ruthless with rivals. If Mayor DeBlasio had not kept running off to the gym for daily workouts as the virus spread, we might almost feel sorry for him, so utterly has he been marginalized by Cuomo's maneuvers."
Even if the governor hasn't changed, the public is getting to see another facet of Cuomo, in particular his deep dedication to family. "Andrew's father was like a god to the family; his mother Matilda, at 87, remains the family matriarch, and Andrew's sibling ties are just as strong. If he has softened, his daughters are the reason. Most parents do soften as they watch their children grow; I think we see that in Andrew as well."

Presidential Trial Balloons Are a Family Tradition
His father also had a penchant for agonizing over (and ultimately deciding against) running for president. Mario, who served as governor of New York State from 1983 to 1994, was frequently mentioned as a possible candidate, and Andrew was one of the biggest champions of the idea.

Mario's most serious flirtation with a presidential run played out in an agonizing 10-week period in 1991 when advisors and supporters pressed him to throw in his hat in for the Democratic nomination to run against President George H.W. Bush. It culminated on a night in December when he decided not to board a plane waiting to take him to New Hampshire to fill out paperwork to join the primary.
Finally, What Works in New York…
Does Andrew Cuomo's newfound fame and newly visible compassion put him closer to the presidency? "If he were running for higher office right now all this new attention would certainly help," says Shnayerson. "But let's not forget that the Cuomo brand, both in father and son, has never traveled very well outside the state.
West of the Mississippi, Andrew still comes across as a rough-hewn New Yorker with an outer-borough accent, fierce on gun control and other issues that put him at odds with red America. My guess is that he plays out this star turn knowing exactly how well he's been doing, and then lets it go, knowing how quickly the electorate can turn."
Most likely outcome? Cuomo runs for a fourth term as New York Governor in 2022. There are no term limits in the state, and a fourth term eluded his father Mario, who lost the race for his fourth to George Pataki in 1994.

Standard Deviation, simply stated, is the measure of dispersion of a group of data from its mean. In other words, it measures how much the observations differ from the central mean. Hence standard deviation is an important tool used by statisticians to measure how far or how close are the points in a data group from its mean. The standard deviation of a data is equivalent to the square root of its variance.
It is extremely important while analysing data since once we look at the standard deviation of any data set we can have an idea about the average value of observations and quantitative estimation of the data. In some situations, where you have to find out how much is a particular value is deviating from the average value of the group, finding the mean or the median does not solve the purpose. For instance, if the height of all the boys of a class is measured, and you want to know how much is your height more or less from the class average, then you need to calculate the standard deviation of the data.
There can be different types of data sets for which the standard deviation might be calculated. For example, the calculation of the standard deviation for grouped data set differs from the ungrouped data set. The grouped data can be divided into two, i.e., discrete data and continuous data. In the case of grouped data, the standard deviation can be calculated using three methods, i.e, actual mean, assumed mean and step deviation method.
60-70 65 2 100 28.6 57.2 1635.
So using these formulas you can find the Standard Deviation of various types of grouped data. You can easily calculate the standard deviations for any grouped data by using these step-by-step procedures we have provided here.
The standard deviation formula has a wide range of applications in various fields, such as mathematics, statistics, finance, etc. IT also enables us to find the reported margin of error of a data, since it is usually twice the standard deviation. Hence it provides us with a true picture of the polling number.
We hope you have been able to understand the concept of standard deviation through this article and understand the application of the formulas of standard deviation. So now you can find the standard deviation of any grouped data using the three methods we have explained to you.
Here we have also provided you with a video which will help you to understand how to calculate the standard deviation of grouped data.

A light, unoaked style from the innovative del Pedregal winery – soft, juicy, ripe and tropical. If you like your Chardonnay fruit-packed yet elegant this will fit the bill.
Tasting Note : Fresh tropical fruits on the nose lead on to a juicy palate of peaches, passionfruit and satsuma. A crisp acidity lifts the finish.
Food Pairing : Fried fish, creamy pasta, prawn cocktail; a bag of crisps while binge-watching a box-set on a rainy night.
More Info : Chardonnay has been out of favour for some time now, but there are signs that it is regaining its popularity gradually. Many consumers were turned off by the cloying fake oak flavours that dominated the cheaper Chardonnays, but are now re-discovering the grape variety in its lighter, unoaked persona. This wine is produced from grapes grown in the cooler valleys of central Chile and is a great staple for the wine rack, tasty and versatile.

Q: NURBS surface to watertight stl I've been making a parametric design using NURBS implementation geomdl in python. the problem is that it is hollow and cannot be processed with cgal or 3dprinted. I am looking for a way to make it watertight by closing the top and the bottom. I already tried to use trimesh.covex.convex_hull function from the trimesh library but it messed up the design.

Example code:
import os
from geomdl import NURBS
from geomdl import construct
from geomdl import exchange
from geomdl.visualization import VisMPL as vis
from geomdl import knotvector

os.chdir(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)))

# Create a NURBS surface instance
surf = NURBS.Surface()

# Set degrees
surf.degree_u = 2
surf.degree_v = 2

# Set control points from a template file
surf.set_ctrlpts(*exchange.import_txt("ctrlpts.cptw", two_dimensional=True, jinja2=True))

# Set knot vectors
surf.knotvector_u = knotvector.generate(surf.degree_u, surf.ctrlpts_size_u)
surf.knotvector_v = knotvector.generate(surf.degree_v, surf.ctrlpts_size_v)#[0, 0, 0, 0.25, 0.25, 0.5, 0.5, 0.75, 0.75, 1, 1, 1]

# Set evaluation delta
surf.delta = 0.05

exchange.export_stl(surf, "test2.stl")
os.system('fstl ./test2.stl')

A: A simple and easy way for you is to use the 3D alpha-shape (also known as concave hull). You can sample your NURBS surface (possibly adding additional points on the "caps", but from the figure in your question I believe in your context even this won't be necessary) and then construct the 3D alpha-shape surface, which should give you the water-tight mesh you're looking for.
See my previous answer for example python code of a call to construct (and plot) the alpha-shape on a set of 3D points and for further explanation. The answer is based on the 3D alpha-shape code found in this nice answer.
If you don't want to use the alpha-shape, you can probably construct a water-tight surface mesh yourself by sampling uniformly the uv-domain of the NURBS surface and get the connectivity information for creating triangles from the sample indices (for example, the sample point from (u[i],v[j]) will create a triangle with (u[i+1], v[j+1]) and (u[i], v[j+1]) and similarly for other neighbors).
To close the "caps" you can add an additional point at the middle of the tube end (for example at the mean point of the points at (u[0], v[:]) and similarly for the mean point on the other end at (u[-1], v[:])). And add triangles from this additional point to the points on the boundary circles of the tube surface.

Refugees Teargassed
By: Mark Leon Goldberg on April 11, 2016
The situation in Idomi is becoming increasingly untenable. "The Macedonian police used tear gas and rubber bullets on Sunday to disperse hundreds of migrants who tried to break through a border fence in a large refugee camp in the northern Greek town of Idomeni, the latest in a series of increasingly frequent uprisings by migrants stuck in Greece after countries sealed the main route they had been using to get to Germany. Greek television showed migrants running from clouds of tear gas and falling to the ground as the wind blew toxic fumes into the encampment, where more than 12,000 people, mostly women and children, have been stuck for more than a month amid hopes that the border would reopen." (NYT http://nyti.ms/1Q262X3)
Hundreds dead in fireworks accident…"The Hindu temple in southern India was packed with thousands for a religious festival early Sunday when the fireworks began – an unauthorized pyrotechnic display that went horribly wrong. Explosions and a massive fire swept rapidly through the Puttingal temple complex about 3 a.m. in the village of Paravoor, killing 102 people and injuring 380 others, officials said…The fire started when a spark from the fireworks show ignited a separate batch of fireworks that were being stored in the temple complex, said Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, the top elected official in Kerala state. Most of the 102 deaths occurred when the building where the fireworks were stored collapsed, Chandy told reporters. About 60 bodies have been identified so far, he added."

Q: How can I copy my Gmail filters to my local email client? I user Thunderbird on my Mac while I'm at work and when I'm home I use Outlook 2007 on my PC. Is there a way I can copy my Gmail filters into either client in one fell swoop?

A: If you set up TBird with Gmail IMAP (not POP) then it will import your filters and folders automatically.
edit: That was a typo! as should have been AND.

Gold is currently one of the most investor-friendly commodity plays out there.
Gold prices, gold producers and gold demand, are all raising their game at the same time, and providing junior gold companies like Blackham Resources (ASX:BLK) with the nutrition to flourish.
BLK could not have really timed its run any better, as it is now official – BLK is Australia's newest gold producer.
Now that this all important milestone is out of the way, BLK will be focused on getting to its target Stage 1 production of 100,000 oz. per year, and planning for the Stage 2 target of somewhere between 175,000 oz.pa up to 230,000 oz.pa.
With a current valuation of around $43 / resource oz. BLK appears only to have room to grow, and climb the ladder of Australian gold producer valuations.
Of course, as with all junior miners, this is a speculative investment, and a successful outcome for an investor is never a guarantee. Seek tailored professional financial advice before making an investment.
In this article, we intend to run through all the latest (and greatest) news coming out of BLK — and there is a lot to pique your interest given BLK's performance to date.
BLK is a Next Mining Boom success story.
Since our initiation article titled, " ASX Junior to Unleash 100koz pa Gold Machine: Funding Now Secured " back in May 2015, BLK's share price has gone from 16.5 cents to as high as $1.17.
That's a rise of over 600%.
BLK has been on a steady course of growth backed by its gold intentions and subsequent delivery of expected targets — and there could be even more nectar for BLK bulls.
BLK is gradually transforming itself from an early-stage gold explorer to a fully-fledged gold producer that is now fast tracking its expansion plans, both in terms of its Wiluna Gold mine output and overall Resource it has under its belt at the Matilda Gold Project.
...and now it's back in our crosshairs given its maiden gold pour is complete, whilst not forgetting to keep its Resource exploration ticking along in terms of high-grade assays.
All in all, we think BLK has legs to go a lot further.
Blackham Resources (ASX: BLK) is setting a glowing example to the wider market as to what is possible in precious metals commercialisation.
Its performance has been fuelled by a strong revised DFS from June 2016 that defined 7Mt in Total Reserves @ 2.5g/t for 560,000oz Au.
Whilst that may sound promising, we should remind readers that investing on price targets set by analyst alone is not recommended – a number of assumptions are made in arriving at these price targets, which may not eventuate.
At the same time, analyst price targets are no guarantee to come true – so don't only consider this price target if considering an investment in BLK – please do your own research before making an investment decision.
BLK's Matilda Gold Project is located in Australia's largest gold belt stretching from Norseman through Kalgoorlie to Wiluna.
BLK's 100% owned Wiluna gold plant is located in the centre of the Matilda Gold Project spanning 860km 2 with the ability to process up to 1.7Mtpa or ~100,000oz per year as part of Stage 1.
Here is a summary of BLK's territory, with its two prime working areas highlighted in yellow — the Wiluna Gold Mine and the Matilda Project.
BLK's latest Resource estimate at Matilda has achieved a JORC Resource of 48Mt @ 3.3g/t for 5.1Moz Au.
That's an improvement of 2Mt since our last article in June 2016, and the all-important Measured and indicated category now totals 22Mt @ 3.4g/t for 2.4Moz.
As you can see, BLK is not resting on its laurels with its Mining Inventory seeing a 1Mt boost and a further 100,000oz expected production since publishing its DFS in February 2016. BLK is currently drilling aggressively aimed at further mine life growth.
The initial mine life has also been raised by 1 year. Possibly most importantly, is that its C1 cash costs are also playing into BLK's commercial aspirations, seeing a fall from AU$1,160/oz. to AU$1,120/oz.
BLK is one of the lowest-cost gold producers currently on the ASX.
If BLK is able to substantiate its ambitious plans, there is no reason why it cannot grow into a feisty mid-cap gold producer over the coming years.
Of course, there is no guarantee BLK will grow into a mid-cap gold producer, unforeseen and unpredictable events can happen at mines. Always invest in speculative stocks with caution, and consider your own personal circumstances and risk profile before investing.
The across-the-board improvement in resource size, exploration potential and production costs is adding yet more momentum to BLK.
Open pit mining has also commenced at Matilda with underground development work conducted in tandem.
Open-pit mining is now in full swing at Matilda, and BLK wants to tighten up the cost-structure here too, by optimising over a dozen open-pit prospects with the aim of making them economically viable at AU$1,400/oz .
These are just the initial steps that will generate a flow of cash flow now that production is underway.
Over time, BLK will be ramping Stage 1 production up to ~100,000oz per year.
The open pit mine plan currently comprises 5.8Mt @ 1.7g/t for 324,000oz of shallow free milling ore. This will be extracted over the coming 4 years .
At the same time, BLK will be working hard to make further resource upgrades and convert over 4 million ounces of resource currently outside the mine plan to support the Stage 2 expansion.
One of the most commercially-opportunistic aspects of BLK's recent exploration activity is that previously Matilda has only been drill tested up to a 300m depth below surface. BLK's recent results indicate that this underestimates the true potential at Matilda.
Matilda is a large mineralized system which remains open at depth and significantly, shows long-term potential for underground mining.
The most recent extensional drilling at Matilda prove continuity of mineralisation at the M6, M3 and M1/M5 deposits.
BLK's geophysics will constitute BLK's prime project as it moves into gold production (and sales) this quarter.
Shown below is a cross-section of Matilda, showing high-grade mineralisation in purple, and red arrows representing the strike potential from future drilling below the M2 pit.
From its initial mine modelling, BLK is able to make a rough estimate of how much mineralisation it can potentially access. The purple areas represent mineralisation of 3.7g/t that's currently outside BLK's mining plan, while the red shaded areas indicate an average diluted grade of 5.2g/t, with around 77% outside the mining plan.
Over time, it is a reasonable expectation for BLK to summarily add more resources and reserves — especially when considering BLK's strong exploration record so far adding resources at just $6/oz.
Combined, Matilda and Wiluna can potentially raise BLK's production to over 230,000oz per year and pitch BLK's EBITDA-target into the $105-130 million range.
At the same time, this is no guarantee to eventuate, as this is a forward looking estimate that will depend on a few things going right which may be out of BLK's hands. So invest with caution if considering making an investment here.
The Stage 2 expansion study is due for completion by February 2017.
One little outlier we most definitely like the presence of, and one that could come into commercial play for BLK sometime next year, is the Essex deposit.
Essex has been the subject of some concerted drilling and assaying over the past 3 months — and some of the initial results are now in.
One stop-off we must make when talking about a gold stock is the spot gold price.
The price of gold has been on an upward trajectory since the start of 2016 due to a kaleidoscope of global factors including central bank policies and weakness of the US dollar.
This renewed strength in gold could just be the start of a drawn-out up move that many stock bears have been patiently waiting for since the GFC.
For BLK, its prospects are therefore largely de-risked because the mean-weighted average gold price for the past 5 years has been AU$1,520/oz.
Bear in mind that at a production cost of $1,500/oz. BLK is forecast to generate an EBITDA of $52 million per year. If gold prices rise to AU$1,700/oz., BLK will be on-course to generate $72 million in EBITDA.
In fact, every $100/oz. increase in the gold price adds roughly $73 million to BLK's cash flow and $20 million EBITDA.
However as experienced commodity investors well know, the price of gold can fluctuate fairly quickly, so it's prudent risk management to lock in sale prices if you can – and that's exactly what BLK has done recently with its recent gold sales completed at an average price of A$1,774 per oz .
The company has locked in proportions of short to medium term production, in order to appropriately manage risk and have more predictable cash flows.
With close to record high Australian gold prices occurring right now, this looks like a smart move to us.
When we first wrote about BLK in May 2015, BLK was an early-stage junior explorer with lots of potential.
But now just 15 months later, BLK has become Western Australia's latest gold producer.
Now it's all about expanding production and better monetising its 5.1 million ounce resource.
BLK's rise has been a textbook story of strong project economics being progressed diligently and with ample institutional funding.
The commercially strong DFS and subsequent Resource upgrades show that BLK is shaping up to be one of the most capital efficient and economically viable gold producers compared to others in Australia — that's the kind of early-stage player we like to scout here at The Next Mining Boom , as our regular readers will well know.
BLK offers investors an opportunity to back a junior gold explorer gradually transforming into a mid-tier producer... and its happening before our very eyes.

I tested my new shoes and they instantly felt comfortable. Well and last week I slept in my Tarptent Notch for 4 nights. I'm still having a bit of a problem getting a taut pitch so that the inner liner won't touch the outer fabric. One night, some drops came down from the "ceiling", not because of the rain (it was raining quite hard) but due to condensation and the inner and outer wall touching.

Here is the body of the function:
void compute_variances(size_t t, const std::vector<Point>& points, float* avg,
                       float* var, size_t* split_dims) {
  for (size_t d = 0; d < points[0].dim(); d++) {
    avg[d] = 0.0;
    var[d] = 0.0;
  }
  float delta, n;
  for (size_t i = 0; i < points.size(); ++i) {
    n = 1.0 + i;
    for (size_t d = 0; d < points[0].dim(); ++d) {
      delta = (points[i][d]) - avg[d];
      avg[d] += delta / n;
      var[d] += delta * ((points[i][d]) - avg[d]);
    }
  }

  /* Find t dimensions with largest scaled variance. */
  kthLargest(var, points[0].dim(), t, split_dims);
}

where kthLargest() doesn't seem to be a problem, since I see that:
0.00      7.18     0.00       40     0.00     0.00  kthLargest(float*, int, int, unsigned int*)
The compute_variances() takes a vector of vectors of floats (i.e. a vector of Points, where Points is a class I have implemented) and computes the variance of them, in each dimension (with regard to the algorithm of Knuth).
Here is how I call the function:
float avg[(*points)[0].dim()];
float var[(*points)[0].dim()];
size_t split_dims[t];

compute_variances(t, *points, avg, var, split_dims);

The question is, can I do better? I would really happy to pay the trade-off between speed and approximate computation of variances. Or maybe I could make the code more cache friendly or something?
I compiled like this:
g++ main_noTime.cpp -std=c++0x -p -pg -O3 -o eg
Notice, that before edit, I had used -o3, not with a capital 'o'. Thanks to ypnos, I compiled now with the optimization flag -O3. I am sure that there was a difference between them, since I performed time measurements with one of these methods in my pseudo-site.
Note that now, compute_variances is dominating the overall project's time!
[EDIT]
copute_variances() is called 40 times.
Per 10 calls, the following hold true:
points.size() = 1000   and points[0].dim = 10000
points.size() = 10000  and points[0].dim = 100
points.size() = 10000  and points[0].dim = 10000
points.size() = 100000 and points[0].dim = 100

Each call handles different data.
Q: How fast is access to points[i][d]?
A: point[i] is just the i-th element of std::vector, where the second [], is implemented as this, in the Point class.
const FT& operator [](const int i) const {
  if (i < (int) coords.size() && i >= 0)
     return coords.at(i);
  else {
     std::cout << "Error at Point::[]" << std::endl;
     exit(1);
  }
  return coords[0];  // Clear -Wall warning
}

where coords is a std::vector of float values. This seems a bit heavy, but shouldn't the compiler be smart enough to predict correctly that the branch is always true? (I mean after the cold start). Moreover, the std::vector.at() is supposed to be constant time (as said in the ref). I changed this to have only .at() in the body of the function and the time measurements remained, pretty much, the same.
The division in the compute_variances() is for sure something heavy! However, Knuth's algorithm was a numerical stable one and I was not able to find another algorithm, that would de both numerical stable and without division.
Note that I am not interesting in parallelism right now.
[EDIT.2]
Minimal example of Point class (I think I didn't forget to show something):
class Point {
 public:

  typedef float FT;

  ...

  /**
   * Get dimension of point.
   */
  size_t dim() const {
    return coords.size();
  }

  /**
   * Operator that returns the coordinate at the given index.
   * @param i - index of the coordinate
   * @return the coordinate at index i
   */
  FT& operator [](const int i) {
    return coords.at(i);
    //it's the same if I have the commented code below
    /*if (i < (int) coords.size() && i >= 0)
      return coords.at(i);
    else {
      std::cout << "Error at Point::[]" << std::endl;
      exit(1);
    }
    return coords[0];  // Clear -Wall warning*/
  }

  /**
   * Operator that returns the coordinate at the given index. (constant)
   * @param i - index of the coordinate
   * @return the coordinate at index i
   */
  const FT& operator [](const int i) const {
        return coords.at(i);
    /*if (i < (int) coords.size() && i >= 0)
      return coords.at(i);
    else {
      std::cout << "Error at Point::[]" << std::endl;
      exit(1);
    }
    return coords[0];  // Clear -Wall warning*/
  }

 private:
  std::vector<FT> coords;
};

A: 1. SIMD
One easy speedup for this is to use vector instructions (SIMD) for the computation. On x86 that means SSE, AVX instructions. Based on your word length and processor you can get speedups of about x4 or even more. This code here:
for (size_t d = 0; d < points[0].dim(); ++d) {
    delta = (points[i][d]) - avg[d];
    avg[d] += delta / n;
    var[d] += delta * ((points[i][d]) - avg[d]);
}

can be sped-up by doing the computation for four elements at once with SSE. As your code really only processes one single element in each loop iteration, there is no bottleneck. If you go down to 16bit short instead of 32bit float (an approximation then), you can fit eight elements in one instruction. With AVX it would be even more, but you need a recent processor for that.
It is not the solution to your performance problem, but just one of them that can also be combined with others.
2. Micro-parallelizm
The second easy speedup when you have that many loops is to use parallel processing. I typically use Intel TBB, others might suggest OpenMP instead. For this you would probably have to change the loop order. So parallelize over d in the outer loop, not over i.
You can combine both techniques, and if you do it right, on a quadcore with HT you might get a speed-up of 25-30 for the combination without any loss in accuracy.
3. Compiler optimization
First of all maybe it is just a typo here on SO, but it needs to be -O3, not -o3!
As a general note, it might be easier for the compiler to optimize your code if you declare the variables delta, n within the scope where you actually use them. You should also try the -funroll-loops compiler option as well as -march. The option to the latter depends on your CPU, but nowadays typically -march core2 is fine (also for recent AMDs), and includes SSE optimizations (but I would not trust the compiler just yet to do that for your loop).

A: The big problem with your data structure is that it's essentially a vector<vector<float> >.  That's a pointer to an array of pointers to arrays of float with some bells and whistles attached.  In particular, accessing consecutive Points in the vector doesn't correspond to accessing consecutive memory locations.  I bet you see tons and tons of cache misses when you profile this code.
Fix this before horsing around with anything else.
Lower-order concerns include the floating-point division in the inner loop (compute 1/n in the outer loop instead) and the big load-store chain that is your inner loop.  You can compute the means and variances of slices of your array using SIMD and combine them at the end, for instance.
The bounds-checking once per access probably doesn't help, either.  Get rid of that too, or at least hoist it out of the inner loop; don't assume the compiler knows how to fix that on its own.

A: Here's what I would do, in guesstimated order of importance:

*

*Return the floating-point from the Point::operator[] by value, not by reference.

*Use coords[i] instead of coords.at(i), since you already assert that it's within bounds. The at member checks the bounds. You only need to check it once.

*Replace the home-baked error indication/checking in the Point::operator[] with an assert. That's what asserts are for. They are nominally no-ops in release mode - I doubt that you need to check it in release code.

*Replace the repeated division with a single division and repeated multiplication.

*Remove the need for wasted initialization by unrolling the first two iterations of the outer loop.

*To lessen impact of cache misses, run the inner loop alternatively forwards then backwards. This at least gives you a chance at using some cached avg and var. It may in fact remove all cache misses on avg and var if prefetch works on reverse order of iteration, as it well should.

*On modern C++ compilers, the std::fill and std::copy can leverage type alignment and have a chance at being faster than the C library memset and memcpy.

The Point::operator[] will have a chance of getting inlined in the release build and can reduce to two machine instructions (effective address computation and floating point load). That's what you want. Of course it must be defined in the header file, otherwise the inlining will only be performed if you enable link-time code generation (a.k.a. LTO).
Note that the Point::operator[]'s body is only equivalent to the single-line
return coords.at(i) in a debug build. In a release build the entire body is equivalent to return coords[i], not return coords.at(i).
FT Point::operator[](int i) const {
  assert(i >= 0 && i < (int)coords.size());
  return coords[i];
}

const FT * Point::constData() const {
  return &coords[0];
}

void compute_variances(size_t t, const std::vector<Point>& points, float* avg,
                       float* var, size_t* split_dims)
{
  assert(points.size() > 0);
  const int D = points[0].dim();

  // i = 0, i_n = 1
  assert(D > 0);
#if __cplusplus >= 201103L
  std::copy_n(points[0].constData(), D, avg);
#else
  std::copy(points[0].constData(), points[0].constData() + D, avg);
#endif

  // i = 1, i_n = 0.5
  if (points.size() >= 2) {
    assert(points[1].dim() == D);
    for (int d = D - 1; d >= 0; --d) {
      float const delta = points[1][d] - avg[d];
      avg[d] += delta * 0.5f;
      var[d] = delta * (points[1][d] - avg[d]);
    }
  } else {
    std::fill_n(var, D, 0.0f);
  }

  // i = 2, ...
  for (size_t i = 2; i < points.size(); ) {
    {
      const float i_n = 1.0f / (1.0f + i);
      assert(points[i].dim() == D);
      for (int d = 0; d < D; ++d) {
        float const delta = points[i][d] - avg[d];
        avg[d] += delta * i_n;
        var[d] += delta * (points[i][d] - avg[d]);
      }
    }
    ++ i;
    if (i >= points.size()) break;
    {
      const float i_n = 1.0f / (1.0f + i);
      assert(points[i].dim() == D);
      for (int d = D - 1; d >= 0; --d) {
        float const delta = points[i][d] - avg[d];
        avg[d] += delta * i_n;
        var[d] += delta * (points[i][d] - avg[d]);
      }
    }
    ++ i;
  }

  /* Find t dimensions with largest scaled variance. */
  kthLargest(var, D, t, split_dims);
}

A: for (size_t d = 0; d < points[0].dim(); d++) {
  avg[d] = 0.0;
  var[d] = 0.0;
}

This code could be optimized by simply using memset. The IEEE754 representation of 0.0 in 32bits is 0x00000000. If the dimension is big, it worth it.
Something like:
memset((void*)avg, 0, points[0].dim() * sizeof(float));

In your code, you have a lot of calls to points[0].dim(). It would be better to call once at the beginning of the function and store in a variable. Likely, the compiler already does this (since you are using -O3).
The division operations are a lot more expensive (from clock-cycle POV) than other operations (addition, subtraction).
avg[d] += delta / n;

It could make sense, to try to reduce the number of divisions: use partial non-cumulative average calculation, that would result in Dim division operation for N elements (instead of N x Dim); N < points.size()
Huge speedup could be achieved, using Cuda or OpenCL, since the calculation of avg and var could be done simultaneously for each dimension (consider using a GPU).

A: Another optimization is cache optimization including both data cache and instruction cache.
High level optimization techniques
Data Cache optimizations
Example of data cache optimization & unrolling
for (size_t d = 0; d < points[0].dim(); d += 4)
{
  // Perform loading all at once.
  register const float p1 = points[i][d + 0];
  register const float p2 = points[i][d + 1];
  register const float p3 = points[i][d + 2];
  register const float p4 = points[i][d + 3];

  register const float delta1 = p1 - avg[d+0];
  register const float delta2 = p2 - avg[d+1];
  register const float delta3 = p3 - avg[d+2];
  register const float delta4 = p4 - avg[d+3];

  // Perform calculations
  avg[d + 0] += delta1 / n;
  var[d + 0] += delta1 * ((p1) - avg[d + 0]);

  avg[d + 1] += delta2 / n;
  var[d + 1] += delta2 * ((p2) - avg[d + 1]);

  avg[d + 2] += delta3 / n;
  var[d + 2] += delta3 * ((p3) - avg[d + 2]);

  avg[d + 3] += delta4 / n;
  var[d + 3] += delta4 * ((p4) - avg[d + 3]);
}

This differs from classic loop unrolling in that loading from the matrix is performed as a group at the top of the loop.
Edit 1:
A subtle data optimization is to place the avg and var into a structure.  This will ensure that the two arrays are next to each other in memory, sans padding.  The data fetching mechanism in processors like datums that are very close to each other.  Less chance for data cache miss and better chance to load all of the data into the cache.

A: You could use Fixed Point math instead of floating point math as an optimization.
Optimization via Fixed Point
Processors love to manipulate integers (signed or unsigned).  Floating point may take extra computing power due to the extraction of the parts, performing the math, then reassemblying the parts.  One mitigation is to use Fixed Point math.
Simple Example:  meters
Given the unit of meters, one could express lengths smaller than a meter by using floating point, such as 3.14159 m.  However, the same length can be expressed in a unit of finer detail like millimeters, e.g. 3141.59 mm.  For finer resolution, a smaller unit is chosen and the value multiplied, e.g. 3,141,590 um (micrometers).  The point is choosing a small enough unit to represent the floating point accuracy as an integer.
The floating point value is converted at input into Fixed Point.  All data processing occurs in Fixed Point.  The Fixed Point value is convert to Floating Point before outputting.
Power of 2 Fixed Point Base
As with converting from floating point meters to fixed point millimeters, using 1000, one could use a power of 2 instead of 1000.  Selecting a power of 2 allows the processor to use bit shifting instead of multiplication or division.  Bit shifting by a power of 2 is usually faster than multiplication or division.
Keeping with the theme and accuracy of millimeters, we could use 1024 as the base instead of 1000.  Similarly, for higher accuracy, use 65536 or 131072.
Summary
Changing the design or implementation to used Fixed Point math allows the processor to use more integral data processing instructions than floating point.  Floating point operations consume more processing power than integral operations in all but specialized processors.  Using powers of 2 as the base (or denominator) allows code to use bit shifting instead of multiplication or division.  Division and multiplication take more operations than shifting and thus shifting is faster.  So rather than optimizing code for execution (such as loop unrolling), one could try using Fixed Point notation rather than floating point.

A: Point 1.
You're computing the average and the variance at the same time.
Is that right?
Don't you have to calculate the average first, then once you know it, calculate the sum of squared differences from the average?
In addition to being right, it's more likely to help performance than hurt it.
Trying to do two things in one loop is not necessarily faster than two consecutive simple loops.
Point 2.
Are you aware that there is a way to calculate average and variance at the same time, like this:
double sumsq = 0, sum = 0;
for (i = 0; i < n; i++){
  double xi = x[i];
  sum += xi;
  sumsq += xi * xi;
}
double avg = sum / n;
double avgsq = sumsq / n
double variance = avgsq - avg*avg;

Point 3.
The inner loops are doing repetitive indexing.
The compiler might be able to optimize that to something minimal, but I wouldn't bet my socks on it.
Point 4.
You're using gprof or something like it.
The only reasonably reliable number to come out of it is self-time by function.
It won't tell you very well how time is spent inside the function.
I and many others rely on this method, which takes you straight to the heart of what takes time.

MEF stands for "Microsoft Extensibility Framework". If you want an overview of MEF, you can look here. In this post we will integrated MEF with Asp.Net MVC 4 and with the WebApi.
First of all you need to reference the "System.ComponentModel.Composition.dll" assembly which contains the implementation of MEF. Now where are going to create a MEF controller factory. Like the name says, it will be responsible to create the controller that is requested.
The MefcontrollerFactory will inherit from the DefaultControllerFactory and has a constructor that accepts a CompositionContainer. To plug in MEF, the GetControllerInstance methode will be overridden. First will look in our exports if something is defined for the requested controller type. Mark that the SingleOrDefault method is used because if more exports are defined for a controller, an exception will be throw. If this exception is thrown, something is wrong with the configuration of the CompositionContainer. If a single export is found, we'll get the object from the Value property.
If the export isn't found, the base method will be invoked. That way, the controller is created the default-way. When the controller is created, the ComposeParts method on the CompositionContainer is invoked. This will resolve the needed import for the controller.
This is the object that will be injected. The GetMessage method will return a string that will be shown on the view.
The Export attribute says to MEF that this class can be exported. The type of IMyTest is pasted as a parameter. This indicates the contract that is used. So when an IMyTest is requested from MEF, an object of MyTest1 is returned.
The HomeController is marked for export and an import attribute is put on the "_mytest" property. Of course we still need to configure MVC to use our MefControllerFactorty. To accomplish this, is created a static class with one static public method (RegisterMef). This method will create a Mef CompositionContainer and pass this container to the MefControllerFactory. This MefControllerFactory will be set as the controller factory for MVC. To configure the CompositionContainer an AssemblyCatalog is used.
The RegisterMef method will be called form the Application_Start method that resides in the global.asax.
When the Index action for the HomeController is requested through the browser, everything works just fine but when it is requested it again, an exception is thrown.
A single instance of controller 'MvcApplication5.Controllers.HomeController' cannot be used to handle multiple requests. If a custom controller factory is in use, make sure that it creates a new instance of the controller for each request.
This exception is thrown because the lifetime of the controller is linked to the lifetime of the CompositionContainer. The container keeps a reference to all the objects that it has created. If the same object is requested, the reference of the previous object is given. There are 2 ways to solve this problem.
You could pass an instance of a ComposablePartCatalog (in this case the AssemblyCatalog) to the MefControllerFactorty. Then in the "GetControllerInstance" method always compose a new CompositionContainer to resolve the controller. Personally I'm not really found about that.
The other solution is to use a CreatonPolicy. If we put a CreationPolicy of "NonShared" on the HomeController, a new instance of the HomeController is created from scratch every time it gets requested. Since this a standard feature of MEF, I'll use this solution.
Now we can request the controller as many times as we want.
This is the created WebApi controller. Mark that the controller also has a CreationPolicy defined. This is for the same reason a mentioned above.
To plug in MEF in the WebApi a object needs to be created from the System.Web.Http.Dependencies.IDependencyResolver interface. This is how the object looks like.
The "BeginScope" method returns a scope in with the create objects will life. Since we are going to use MEF to control the lifetime of the created objects, we can do a return of "this". We can do this because the IDependencyResolver inherits form IDependencyScope. If you really need a limited scope per request, the "BeginScope" method always needs to return a new object of type IDependencyScope.
You also need to implement a "Dispose" method to release the used resources. In the MefDependencyResolver, it isn't implemented. This is because we return the current instance in the "BeginScope" method. If we disposed the CompositionContainer, we could only request the service once.
Right now, the only thing needed, is the register the create MefDependencyResolver. This will be done in the modified MefConfig class.
The example can be downloaded from here.
Hi, this looks interesting and I was trying to use this pattern in a solution where my controllers are hosted into several different assemblies used like plugins. The idea would be uploading a DLL and some views into the server, and let MEF discover and use them as needed. So I tried creating a dummy solution with a class library project including a controller to be imported with this mechanism. I just modified the code to use a MEF DirectoryCatalog pointing to my plugins folder and then created a test MVC solution, with a single plugin in a class library. BUT, when I try loading the plugin controller the framework calls my factory GetControllerInstance with a null type. Here is a complete repro dummy solution: http://www.filedropper.com/mvcplugins , probably I'm missing something obvious. Any advice?
Your link to your project doesn't work. If you fix the link I would be happy to take a look.
I think Mr. Anonymous above probably should have used an AggregateCatalog where it adds both the current executing assembly and the DirectoryCatalog. Once that is done everything works fine in my tests.
Currently composing another batch in this ComposablePartExportProvider. Only one batch can be composed at a time.
manufacture a good article… but what / things I say… I procrastinate alot and by no indicates apparently go accomplished.
I find it unfortunate that the MVC dependency resolver is separate from the Web API. I understand the reasons for it, but it still bothers me that in a single solution, I have 2 different IoC solutions.
I thought I had this but I was still referencing the MefConfig, so far I've been unable to implement your suggestion. I moved the Compose() method into the Application_Start but it's not resolving the catalogs. In the controller, the catalog is null at runtime.
I am trying to build a MVC5 application with a plug-able architecture like Orchard CMS. So I have a MVC application which will be the startup project and take care of auth, navigation etc. Then there will be multiple modules built separately as asp.net web applications(with reference to web.mvc) and have controllers, views, data repos etc.
With your above example I am able to import the controllers from the modules.. but it is looking for the views inside of the startup project. Is there a way to make the controllers from the modules look for views inside the module project itself?
Also what are your thoughts on using MEF as a dependency resolver as compared to others like Ninject, Castle, etc.
It works if you add a reference to the module project - which defies the point of MEF all together.
There is nothing better then seeing a total eclipse. They are very rare to see. This is definitely one of the wonders of space here. You got to love it.
Same issue as Eriq - "Currently composing another batch in this ComposablePartExportProvider. Only one batch can be composed at a time." - Did anyone ever solve it?
It is very useful when we read in the media like this. Whenever any time to access and will not miss the news. Let diligently reading let me add to our knowledge.
And in mvc i use the technic you mentioned to inject project A to mvc controller, and it is fine.
But when i return to view project A model, and use the strongly type model in view it fails.
When i put project A dll in bin folder it is success.
İs it possible to say view engine to load the strongly type dll in another folder?
Or am imissing something or doing something wrong?

Girls basketball: Max S. Hayes at North Ridgeville sectional semifinal preview capsule
Aimee Bielozer – For The Morning Journal
North Ridgeville's Leia Smith passes to a teammate on the perimeter Jan. 8.
By Rob DiFranco | The Morning Journal
PUBLISHED: February 14, 2020 at 4:28 p.m. | UPDATED: July 15, 2021 at 6:14 a.m.
No. 11 Max S. Hayes vs. No. 6 North Ridgeville
What: Division I Elyria District sectional semifinal
When: Feb. 15, 1 p.m.
Where: North Ridgeville High School, 34600 Bainbridge Rd., North Ridgeville
Records: North Ridgeville 10-12
On deck: The winner advances to a sectional final where it will face No. 3 Avon Lake.
For the record: It's been a rough end to the season for the young Rangers, but with the senior leadership of players like Leia Smith North Ridgeville should be fine in this Round 1 matchup. But if the turnover and offensive problems continue, the Rangers could be vulnerable to an upset.
DiFranco's pick: North Ridgeville

Lubsan Sharab Tepkin (1875–1941?) was a Buddhist priest of Kalmyk origin who was born in the Bokshirgankan aimak in the Salsk District of the Don Cossack Host sometime in 1875.

Lubsan Tepkin was born to Dandun Tepkin, a horsebreeder and a member of a prominent family. He joined the Kalmyk clergy at a young age and became Baksha of the khurul in his native aimak by the age of 28 in 1903. In so doing, Lama Tepkin replaced Menko Bormanzhinov who became Lama of the Don Kalmyks. In 1911, Lama Tepkin abdicated his position and moved to Tibet, where he would remain until the fall of 1922.

Lama Tepkin moved to Petrograd, Russia in the fall of 1922 to become a deputy Tibetan envoy and a lecturer in Mongolian and Tibetan at the Leningrad Institute of Oriental Living Languages. Three years later in 1925, Lama Tepkin traveled to the Kalmyk Autonomous Oblast to attend the second conference of the Kalmyk Buddhist clergy where he was elected the Šajin Lama of the Kalmyk people.

Lama Tepkin held the position of Šajin Lama until his arrest by the NKVD in 1931. He was sentenced to imprisonment without a formal trial by an NKVD tribunal. Lama Tepkin reportedly spent the last years of his life working as a clerk on a dairy farm near Tashkent where he was last heard of in 1941.
