Here people discuss that for a chaotic system automatic differentiation will diverge. https://discourse.julialang.org/t/when-forwarddiff-ing-throu...

I'm trying to come up with a simple example. I think that for bunch of flying hard spheres in a box, any measurement that requires sufficiently time spaced samples of their positions will have trouble being differentiated.

> But migrating off is a HUGE pain

It took less than 10mn to migrate to Bitwarden. What do you mean by migrate?

Using texlive package manager plus a python auto-package installer wrapper for latexmk I was able to get my latex install down to a 300MB.

All these seem nice but I never seem to find one that will interface with rootless nodes, amd link back to wherever my laptop is. There's always a requirement for a kernel module or mounting a new interface. For now I use chisel, but it's a hack and I need to manage addresses and ports manually.

I don't suppose there's type checking on indexing via fields... IE df.at(field_value) typechecks no matter what type the first field of the record class is.

"Python 2.7 puts “at our disposal an advanced programming language that is guaranteed not to evolve anymore”, Rougier writes1." Oh no. That's not at all what was intended. Regarding my own research: I'm doing theoretical biophysics. Often I do simulations. If conda stays stable enough, my code should be reproducible. There's however some external binaries(like lammps) I did not turn into a conda package yet. There's no official package that fits my use-case in conda since compilation is fine-grained to each user's needs.

I set it up. As a service. Check stackoverflow.

Better to pay a 20y to replace it than throwing the entire thing to the bin.

Just from the introduction, seems like they wanted to have abstractions for the amalgamation of tools one uses when doing science that uses computing. Git+interpreter+reproducibility, but like a graph that is manipulated by the user doing data/code mutation and invoking functions.

My master thesis was on a magnetic traps for microfluidics. I'm not really up to speed on the field anymore, but it's exciting to recognize much of what's being used, and with such a direct application.

It just rolls. It doesn't jump like the actual spider does.

On the other hand, I think they are trying to avoid the less nice usecases of communication by restricting themselves to gaming.

Why?

At first, I thought you were a bot. After a second reading, I changed my opinion.

Jeez, dark times.

Analog as in analog electrical signals, almost surely.

I read the story. I was disappointed since it implied that the aliens knew both past, present and future, while still having a deterministic existence in our universe. Therefore making our universe a specific timeline where everything aligned to make these creatures evolve along time without breaking causality. I have an aversion to both that, and breaking causality. The movie departs from the story, however it appears to keep these elements nonetheless.
