no. turaga and co have some work where they constrain model network topologies with the connectome and train on visual data. this is imo a very silly line of research and they come to some very wrong conclusions about what neurons do what w

it's a tool in the toolbox. useful for mapping things out when doing functional experiments

for better or worse slurm is the status quo for HPC. it works, every university has a slurm cluster, people already know how to use it

I considered Nextflow before begrudgingly settling on snakemake for my current project. Didn't record why... possibly because snakemake was already a known quantity and I was under time pressure or because I felt the task DAG would be

slightly off topic, but there is dire need for a scientific "workflow manager" built to FAANG engineering standards attuned for the needs of academia (ie primarily designed to facilitate execution of DAGs on clusters). The airflow

this is how CBTC works

by andbberger 2y ago
this is decidely a feature and not a bug. CBTC systems work by continually updating track leases to the last known position. this allows for high throughput while safely avoiding collisions in case of catastrophe. highway separation is unac

> There needs to be ways to breed new life and kill off the natural development of bad management and crippling rulemaking. corpos are functionally immortal and it's the cancerous mass, not the germ line that survives.

no one but sebastian seung and his gang of hacks actually thinks this. the connectome is but a very useful, _very_ expensive tool. and, actually as of writing, we have a connectome for the _adult_ drosophila brain (more than one actually).

what negativity in this thread! this is the only tangible, hopeful HSR project in the country right now
87.
by andbberger 2y ago
$6.5B to demonstrate it is in fact possible to build HSR on budget and on time in the states and that CAHSR is just run by a consultant mafioso in a trenchcoat sounds like a great deal!

by andbberger 2y ago
CAHSR phase 1 is merced to bakersfield and the current design for SF-LA throws in the towel on the last mile. if you think what they're doing now is silly, just wait until the laypeople get their hands on the altamont/pacheco palm

most EMUs have standard couplers at the end of the trainset, the problem is more so that the rail-wheel and bogie suspension dynamics of high speed cars are highly engineered and derailments at 300km/h are catastrophic
