Is there an additional arXiv paper? The abstract referenced at the bottom refers to a completely different paper.

Actually, LLNL (the site of El Capitan) has a process for requesting Dedicated Application Time (a DAT) where you use up to a whole machine, usually over a weekend. They occur fairly regularly. Mostly it's lots of individual users and

Steels can undergo a transition to becoming brittle when they get cold (called a “ductile-to-brittle” transition). It’s important to know what the properties would be like in this regime and -70C is enough to get there (even 0C can be enoug

Networking and connections get university students good jobs. Aptitude and drive are what makes them good at those jobs. I think the post you responded to was talking about the latter type of “success” at universities, but both are valid me

It's not "initial conditions" as in time=0. Thermodynamic state variables are path independent, so "initial conditions" in this context means the conditions of the reference point in the process from the point you s

Several new HPCs are already using AMD [1] and that trend will probably continue if AMD continues to put out competitive products. [1] See the Top 500 list that, by my count, has 26 of the top 100 HPC systems using AMD EPYC CPUs as of their

Seaborn is based on matplotlib and has basically the same semantics of matplotlib with better styling defaults and a wider API for different plots. For a ggplot grammar-of-graphics style library in Python, I really like Altair: https:&#x2F

At least for the AR-15 platform (the weapons pictured in the article), only the part that bears the serial number is regulated. Everything else can be bought freely and legally. For the AR-15, that part is the lower receiver.

A project I work on has a `RELEASING.rst` in the repo, which I include in the docs [1]. It contains a checklist of steps with the code. The actual deployment is automated with a GitHub Action to deploy to PyPI. The checklist makes sure I hi

The abstract of that paper includes: > Due to the inhibition of van der Waals adhesion at the liquid interface, the electrode was remarkably resistant to deactivation via coking caused by solid carbonaceous species. MOXIE is solid state

I use Goodreads, but only like a letterboxd for books. Anyone have a recommendation of something with a better experience than goodreads where I can track my read, reading and wanting to read? Recommendations are not that important to me an

Think of it from the scientist’s perspective. You can’t ignore the work in journals who have business models and policies you do not agree with. Pretending research doesn’t exist slows progress and it is anti-science to put your head in the

Daniele Procida already has a great Write the Docs talk on this subject already. It is indeed a fantastic talk. https://youtu.be/qK-AnF5FJTs

This is the flipped classroom model. Definitely not widespread, but it’s gaining popularity, even in universities. The system is slow to change.

The first paragraph in the "Isolation of single emitters in silicon" section of the scientific paper[1] says that they "implanted" carbon ions into silicon. The rest of the paper discusses how they were able to detect th

This is definitely compelling. I’m still going to try holding out until the Apple Silicon 16”, but my computer is more and more reminding me how long ago 2015 was.

Even though SymPy is written in Python, there are several options to go much faster. The simplest is when actually using the symbolic expression to do some calculation. For that SymPy has a `lambdify`, which can make a callable using NumPy

You can actually put those expressions in your format() into the f-string braces, no escaping required.

Software could totally do this. A common trick to check yourself is to set a timer for every $x minutes or so [1] and then when the timer goes off see what you are doing. Software could definitely address this problem by giving you a little

What are you using now? I've been using TiddlyWiki for almost a year. Most of my 400 Tiddlers are either code snippets with explanations or an probably ~2 paragraphs of text on average. I haven't experienced any galaxy brain type

LiquidText on iOS seems to enable pulling out images, snippets, etc. as the author seems to want. Not sure what happens when that app eventually dies thought.

Not that it's entirely equivalent (man hours of maintaining the local hardware/software vs man hours of AWS), but you could buy ~22.5TB of RAM outright for the price of using the 1TB AWS instance for $7/hour, assuming a curre

Unless there's a bug in the dependency solver, isn't this a good thing? conda is preventing you from installing incompatible packages.

I am also using TiddlyWiki, but I just use it locally with almost all the defaults and no fancy formatting. It's a little different than a traditional wiki in that each "page" (called a "tiddler") is not really desi
