Are NNs producing useful results in this area? I'm on the density functional theory side of things, so much smaller scales than MD. To me, it's not clear whether we are good at quantifying when a neural net is well-parameterized i

git is a local program that doesn’t require that you put anything online. It sounds like you might be unfamiliar with it and I suggest that you check it out - it might be just what you’re looking for!

I am a Julia noob and managed to use PackageCompiler.jl for a package I wrote and it just worked out of the box. I think the only non-stdlib package I used was StaticArrays, but I was able to use the happy path described in the PackageCom

Yes: Settings -> Branches -> Default branch We have our develop branch set up, which tracks all the contributions as you would expect. We treat our master branch as a latest release branch.

The Mighty Mouse wasn't so bad. The ball would get dirty and need to be cleaned occasionally, but you could kind of clean it without taking it apart (flip it upside down and rub it on paper), but you could also take the mouse apart to

One interpretation is that a major differentiator for Apple is privacy. The moat they are trying to create gets a little narrower if other companies are required to catch up. It's aligned with their incentives to ship privacy features,

The odd thing to me is how this is considered voluntary parting . Presumably you could show that, through KitSplit, the renter and owner entered into a legal contract. Maybe this is the true problem with the gig economy. If I rented a car&

I bought a refurb i7, 16GB in summer 2016 that site says the has already been serviced. Too bad because I really need a battery replacement and I'm otherwise completely happy with the computer.

As a side note, intermetallic compounds can happen in any process; soldering, brazing, welding, casting, etc. Most are bad because they are brittle and are often crack nucleation sites, however some compounds can have various strengthening

Almost all the cases under the “How to fix that” heading seem addressed by Julia, but also MATLAB or Python if performance is not an issue. As a PhD student who heavily relies on highly optimized Fortran code and who has spent time translat

I don’t have data, but I think most tenure track professors get tenure (if not at their current university, than another). Adjunct professors are not tenure track, so there is really no expectation that they would get tenure. Though I have

The definition of the second law of thermodynamics at the top is not right. A closed system can have energy put in from the surroundings to decrease entropy. Only isolated systems that cannot exchange energy with the surroundings follow the

If you are interested, there’s lots of computational work to do in chemistry and applications. It might be hard to break into without going to graduate school, but there are many free high quality software available. For chemistry with loca
