fuck me. I have had ridiculous insomnia since 2020. I have had tinnitus on and off since 2015/16 Incidentally this is also when my insomnia first showed up.

On both my nokia and my blackberry it was far far better than on my iphone. That wasn't quite 199X but pretty close. I wish the iphone had word prediction and autocorrect that was …

This reminds me of something I remember from college but cannot ever seem to find: "The Jevon's diagram" by which I mean a two country system, with country containing two groups: h…

Hey thanks. Reddit could be your friend here. Well, honestly, youtube as well. Here's a good, to the point summary of a lot of things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgH_9Iy7_mQ (…

Great idea. Here is something that could be similar but more niche (sorry if too niche): join a meetup group for that does indoor rock climbing. If, say, meetup is a big thing wher…

I've always imagined Feynman making a QED, QED joke sometime in the late 1940's for this very reason. Like he could end his Shelter Island Conference talk with the joke and then lo…

If you happen to desire to implement your own NURBS library, (and/or the bspline and bezier simplifications) take the nurbs book c reference implementation, and modernize, convert …

Latex specific ide \frac and auto fill. You can for sure get speedy with practice! Those beautiful graphs now… I ended up using secondary programs to gen images (pdf or whatever) o…

Great stuff! I am in awe of your beautifully done graphs. For speed with, e.g. matrices like you say, but also more specialized course specific notation, could you build a set of q…

Experiences vary. I was just at the point of qualifying exams when a full time job op came up in a tightly related field. They (profs and managers all) understood, my new co-worker…

This should be a proxy measure for inflation. (If only it was quantifiable so easily…) Instead of prices going up in this case, quality goes down.

Yes thanks. My bad for not putting up a link.

Give me a neural lace with which I can stop a knife missile, or contact which stops the figurative knife missile forever, and so am I.

This thread makes me wonder how many knife-missiles the USA has in stock. (I am using the opportunity to reference the fact that the USA indeed has a “knife missile” and it is simi…

No clue. Octave is here for us… so at least we can run their code and ask any pertinent questions to expedite the port. ;) (Yes I know it’s simulink for many, but I’ve met some pur…

This whole conversation has been very insightful. From the noalias = no panacea To the Fortran repl Thank you. This was inspiring. Maybe it’s time I learn me some llvm too. Cheers.…

The barrier to entry to doing fast linear algebra from scratch is the lowest of any of c,c++,Fortran. Python and matlab being to slow at “low barrier to entry level” for sure anywa…

Modern Fortran has oop with one major design mistake: They use % as the accessor instead of . (Yes I am joking around) ;)

Thanks for all the context!

Hey thanks for a very interesting and thought provoking reply. I lived in NOLA for 10 years and long may it live! Spot on with the destruction of the marshlands - something so desp…

From the title, I thought it was going to be an article about the present day. Sort of a “surprise! -it’s right now” kind of feel, and then talk about the second quantum revolution…

Thank you for the info depth response. I am credentialed and experienced at picking up things across domains so I might kick it around a bit - as far as it dove tails with computat…

How about nutrient content by mass, or some such measure? I skimmed the article, maybe I missed it. Aside: How easy is it to break into computational biology as a, say, practitione…

If this one looks to be a bit of a deep dive, try the cup trick first!
