Nature is lazy to such a degree that it will even often stop you from doing whatever you are doing so that it can stop doing stuff. For example, Lenz’ Law

The current induced in a circuit due to a change in a magnetic field is directed to oppose the change in flux and to exert a mechanical force which opposes the motion.

So basically; if you start playing around with magnets and circuits, nature will induce currents in such a way to stop you. That is next level lazy.

(But also I just saw Michael Jackson at first)

One of my PIs when talking always mentioned the people he worked with and their job status. So he’d basically

this work was made in collab. with all of these… The names in Black are permanent, ignore them, the ones in blue just got new postdocs, they are ok for now. The names in green: they will be applying! Keep an eye out for them!

Did they drop “analogue” or “simulated” from the title?

Bo Burnham - That Funny Feeling

The time around the superluminal neutrino result was crazy. The oddest papers were written on the slimmest chans it would last and their explination would be correct enough for a nobel prize later down the line.

Woah, hold on there, that is way too much equations for such a small pocket. Surely they must first be put in the differential form notation.

Come on, those are like two things: learn stuff and work out. Pfft

preference of the data for dynamical dark energy

That is a quite weak statement, I presume it implies that this result has not excluded a cosmological constant by a long shot, bacause that would have been huge.

tell me how can I feel pain

Until the day of the defence…

If you like mathbf more then at least redefine vec and use vec. Keeps the code more tidy.

I’m running PopOS on a computer for wathing media at home. I’m not too impressed. I read a bunch of comment threads recommening it so I treid it out. They seem a bit unstable – that at least falls in OP middle ground. I made an update and dpms management was just different, like the screen is no longer turning itself off. I’ve had some thing like this happen on it. It’s not breakage, it’s a bit annoying. “Just works”? Eh, sure, kinda’.

Not the person you were replying to, and don’t understand exactly what you mean with port and device id. But if it changes every time, -ish, you plug it in, do you mean like /dev/sdX device names? If so, then maybe look at /dev/disk/by-TYPE/ and use those instead? You have stuff there which is the same each time you plug in.

I have been forced to use mac now for like a year, and I don’t get the whole “just works” opinion of it. Like I have had so many issues with just basic stuff. Turning off mouse acceleration and the mouse still feels all slimy. Highest mouse speed is so slow and setting it higher requires some crazy tricks, which also does not work consistently through boots. It can’t wake up a lot of monitors, I have to turn them off and on manually. If it cannot connect to a monitor properly but tries, it like disables your keyboard for a few seconds while trying. Some items in the settings menu take a long time to load, as in if I reboot, log in, open settings, there is no mouse settings.

A tensor is something that transform as a tensor. Gtfo Christoffel symbols.

That is why they can be written really neatly in a relativistic formulation, but look fucked up in a classical one.

I did get paid for reviewing for a Springer journal though. Next to nothing, but it’s not zero.

At least a lot of Swedish parties had an anti-China message for the EU election. Those parties are also very anti-infrastructure, so idunno, maybe?
