    Well, except in the case of variable shadowing.

    Fig. 8, where the model becomes poorly calibrated in terms of text prediction (Answers are "flattened" so that many answers appear equally probable, but below the best answer)

    Note that Mathematica units impose a very large runtime penalty, making them unsuitable for a lot of applications

    It's also quite similar to Thread and MapThread in Mathematica

    Also worth noting that test pilots of experimental aircraft generally wear parachutes, at least for higher risk tests. This includes tests of commercial aircraft.

    This plus make a lot of sketches describing what each variable is physically, and use geometry to derive dependent dimensions. Libraries like BOSL2 help with placement/attachment o…

    ... no? Unless you're referring to null as a bottom type, then that doesn't hold. Are you describing some property of a specific language?

    Only if you're designing both functions ahead of time. In other words, it's not composable.

    No, because the engine is also insignificant compared to the brakes. A SUV might have brakes (briefly) capable of 900 HP of power absorption

    Meanwhile, there's still no support for dependency specifiers/environment markers (PEP 508/PEP 345) in environment.yml files, and the documentation is VERY sparse about what is sup…

    Does that rule-of-thumb assume specific units/value ranges for the input and output signals?

    See also Windows setting menus. People see this as a flaw, but I much prefer that to breaking existing functionality for the sake of a redesign. Make a new interface for simple use…
