I just recently learned about Dorico's VST support and was considering trying it out as an alternative to the workflow I'm using now (compose in musescore, export to logic and then key in dynamics + velocities). It seems really us

I just spent a couple of hours playing with the nolly trial and it's awesome, lots of fun. Definitely getting some 5150 vibes from several of the presets, I believe it

awesome, thanks for the breakdown! Any experience with Plini? It seems to be the closest to Nolly, and from a cursory look it seems people generally like it better. I suppose I'll have to get the trials for both to compare I had never

wow, I was literally just about to download the trial for the archetype nolly (after being iffy on whether the fortin nameless was right for what I wanted), what are the chances it's being discussed on HN. I'm hoping that the noll

Agreed, at some point I've used something from all three of those and they're all great! I've seen a surprising amount of great stuff from smaller universities too iirc, if you google around.

Even better is to look up the undergrad/grad curriculum from a university and then look at the course webpages (many universities still publish their course materials available to anyone who has the link, without needing to login throu

Ah yup you're right, I read your sentence too fast, whoops. The most likely location is at the nucleus, but the most likely radius (integrating over all angles) is at 1 bohr radius.

Are you forgetting a Jacobian? The maximum probability isn't inside the nucleus for an s-orbital. E.g. for hydrogen, the maximum probability for the electron is one bohr radius away from the center of the nucleus (and the expectation v

I think it's pretty typical, at least in physics. Every offer I had/that I have heard of was around 30k, I've only heard of one that was around ~24k iirc

FYI they are totally different "singlets", a singlet exciton refers to the spin state of the particle (as opposed to a triplet exciton, which has a different total spin). A singlet lens is just a lens with a single simple componen

There are definitely papers in physics that are well-known to be wrong. I know of results published in high-profile journals where the authors have stated (in person, but not officially in a published update) that even they cannot reproduc

Just FYI, the idea that Nature Communications is inherently "untrustworthy" is completely unfounded, you can't take a quick look at rankings or briefly skim a wikipedia page and get a good picture of how "serious" o

It's a chalcogen vacancy, a very common type of defect in these materials. These materials are called transition metal dichacogenides, so they have the form MX2, where M is a metal (most commonly Mo or W) and X is a chalcogen (typicall

By promoting hard-hitting contact sports to youth, and issuing equipment that doesn't do a good job at protecting the head? Even considering the underreporting with young, high school athletes, a large number of young football players

Pretty sure that no one will see this, but just to make a correction in case someone does, the new battery was totally covered even though the machine was out of warranty, and I dropped it off saturday afternoon and the machine was sent out

So far I've had a good experience with Kubuntu on an old Lenovo ideapad from ~7 years ago, after throwing a new SSD in to replace the old HDD. Everything so far has worked out of the box without any problems, I was able to get both MAT

Never heard of this before, but from what I just listened to it sounds pretty great, very ambient. It's kind of weird that it's so old, it was published on vinyl in 1970, and according to wikipedia, this album hit the top 40 in th

Definitely a great resource, but (thankfully) it's almost completely redundant in a lot of fields. I'm willing to bet almost no one in my department has ever actually used it, or even heard of it, thanks to preprint servers like a

Okay, I'm familiar with that. I get it, everyone's got their own limits on what they can make light of. And sure, ditto.

To be clear, I'm not arguing that it wasn't a horrible atrocity that completely destroyed many peoples lives, and and I'm not arguing that the genocide itself was in any way funny . The joke isn't that the event itself

I know several people who fit that criterion. I didn't say it wasn't rude, crass, impolite, or ignorant. I said that I don't think it counts as a hate crime, and that it doesn't fit the criterion for "menacing"

Oh okay, I actually misremembered what I had seen, I thought it was just the saluting thing. I just checked the original again[1], and that being said I still don't see how this isn't a ruling that is overblown; he's saying &

To be honest I know nothing about law enforcement in the EU, but the one thing I have heard about in recent memory is that guy who made a video of his girlfriend's dog saluting hitler, and was subsequently tried for a hate crime, convi

Sure, one example that I'm familiar with is frequency entangled photons produced by parametric scattering of exciton-polaritons (it's scattering of quasiparticles in a quantum well which are strongly coupled to a photon field). Al

No, it's just one particular method of creating entangled pairs, e.g. there are integrated semiconductor devices that can be used to generate them using other physical effects (but AFAIK SPDC is what most people use in practical situat

True, especially when you consider self-citations or citations that are basically a political back-scratch between collaborators.

There's a surprising amount of cork-sniffing that goes on in the guitar world, and I think that plays a role in slowing down the decline of the guitar market. Just try searching for advice on what guitar to buy, and you'll be inun

How do you do the cello tuning? Assuming you're not using a tenor guitar, it's CGDA on the lowest four, then do you just keep going up in 5ths to EB for the last two strings or do something else?
