I always love seeing PBR here. I work in atmospheric science, in particular modelling of radiation in the atmosphere, and the equations that we use are identical to that of PBR. The main difference is that in the atmosphere you are more c

It is starting to be understood that there is a huge need for global methane measurements. Lot's of companies are starting to (or already have) move into this space, and I've seen several mentioned in the comments here. But I th

The short answer is yes. To characterize sources like this you need a very small pixel footprint size on the earth, which reduces the magnitude of the signal you actually observe, leading to higher technological requirements.

It is always fascinating how many problems that are simply stated are difficult to solve. Whenever I see something like this I try and think about what the repercussions would be if an efficient algorithm did exist, and that helps to under

Can anyone comment on why intel has decided to go with relatively a large amount of E cores compared to P cores? One of the i3's even has 8 E cores and only 2 P cores. Apple seems to have taken the opposite approach with the M1 pro&#x

This looks quite odd to me. I don't have perf installed on my machine but when I do DATA = np.random.rand(300_000_000).astype(np.float32) I get ~0.24s as a wall time for the normalization calculation on my machine, and DATA = np.rando

This is really going to be university/department/situation dependent. Unless you are a professor at a top school/department you likely are not going to have highly qualified PhD candidates lining up to to research with you,

I use Colemak, but I don't really buy into any of the claims of improved comfort or speed. It took me somewhere between 1-2 years to get to about the same typing speed as QWERTY (somewhere between 120-150 WPM depending on the test), a

I agree, tracking down a failed CI build that ends up being a cache problem is much more frustrating to me than waiting a little longer for the build.

Even if we had that data it wouldn't be a fair evaluation of vaccine efficacy. The elderly are the most vaccinated demographic, have the highest number of breakthrough infections, and have the highest mortality rate. There are too ma

Herd immunity would usually be defined as: if a contagion is introduced to a community will it spread uncontrolled or will it die off. Reff < 1 implies it will die off, Reff > 1 implies it will spread. Herd immunity does not mean th

by dannyz 5y ago
At some point this is just arguing semantics, but my understanding is that the herd immunity threshold is defined when Reff < 1. You could have Reff=0.99999999, which counts as herd immunity being reached, but it would take a very long

Obviously nobody wants YouTube to be the arbiter of truth, but this whole situation has just become ridiculous. We have an elected senator spreading misinformation, perhaps willfully, perhaps not. All of the current evidence suggests that

At least right now, cheating in chess online has not happened at the very highest level of the game. There have been GMs that have been caught cheating but as far as I know never a top 100 player. The ideas in the article seem focuseed on

For personal use, most of the time, not too much. However I have encountered enough binary package conflicts when using pip that is just easier to use conda (or conda-forge). On the distribution side, we are a small academic group that pro

I pretty much only do scientific computing with Python so take this with a grain of salt, but ever since I have started using conda I have never looked back. Especially for cross platform projects conda makes things much easier. I would l

Time-weighted average has always seemed like such an odd name to me. I assume that taking a simple average of irregularly spaced points is a very common mistake and so that is likely where this name comes from. But, as another commenter p

Some of the comments here are eye opening on how effective the misinformation campaign has been on this issue. There is no real evidence that SARS-CoV-2 originated from a lab leak. Rand Paul is being intentionally distracting to push a fa

While computer engines that are significantly better than the best chess players are plentiful, computer engines that are human rated and play human like moves do not exist. From the definition of ELO you could make a 1500 rated chess engin

I find these kind of articles just perplexing. Research is incremental, tiny steps pushing the boundaries of knowledge. DeepMind has done things that were thought to be decades away using deep reinforcement learning. These research advan

I see that it says "If you want to upgrade to Visual Studio 2022 but are worried about compatibility, binary compatibility with the C++ runtime will make it painless." I assume that means that this release will have the same binar

I had no problems plugging in my USB microphone into the pro and having audio output. I was using airpods for the output though... maybe that is it? Or maybe certain USB microphones work and others do not.

Did the exact same thing (except with colemak instead of Dvorak). My muscle memory only comes back for QWERTY if I am actively looking at the keyboard though.

For the original unreal tournament (1999) you could download the demo and then apply the "nodelta" official update to get the full version of the game.

Yes, exactly. Every new 3.x release ends up being a not insignificant amount of work for us to update our build system for our not pure Python packages.

You can try looking at https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cag/global/time-series . The specific claim that July is the warmest month ever might be due to the fact that July is the warmest month of the year, so even though
