Reminds me that I need to study the impacts of a vegan diet in the science literature to understand how aggressively I should be pursuing it. The times I’ve lived on a near vegan diet, I feel quietly better in lots of little unexpected ways. Happy to chase books or links if people have them lying around.

I’ve always wondered what is unique about semiconductors that PhDs need to work like assembly line workers. I’m sure they’re not solving partial differential equations all day, but what’s so different between different batches of chips?

This looks awesome! Before the pandemic I’d take a 16 hour flight leaving at midnight to where my wife’s family lives in Asia. This takes flying closer to long trains and it could be good!

I'm a senior data scientist with a multidisciplinary engineering background spanning chemicals, renewable energy, and aerospace (I'm ready to adapt to a new industry if necessary!). Past projects have included abnormal event detection in chemical and energy systems, optimization, and signal processing and classification. I'm ready to take on any problem, in any industry, big or small, in data science, machine learning, forecasting, optimization, statistics, and any sort of modeling.

I can do full time employment if you have big problems, or contracts if you only have a few little problems. I'm comfortable with developing and maintaining cloud-based, containerized, ETL services.

the new way all these online services suck

“results from a population-based sample of Norwegians followed for almost three decades, from adolescence into midlife (N = 2215).”

Nice! Largish sample size and 3 decades of following the subjects around! I wonder what else this group is learning.

The conclusion makes sense. When you’re by yourself too much your mind can get stuck going in circles without somebody to bounce ideas off of.

I wonder if the article itself was written by an AI. The style seemed strange to me.

From your link;

“Near the solstice, one pole faces the Sun continuously and the other faces away, with only a narrow strip around the equator experiencing a rapid day–night cycle, with the Sun low over the horizon. On the other side of Uranus's orbit, the orientation of the poles towards the Sun is reversed. Each pole gets around 42 years of continuous sunlight, followed by 42 years of darkness.”

Very different from Earth! Wow.

Twain’s escape West is an entertaining memoir! He did a little bit of everything and accumulated some great (if a bit tall) tales. I remember it has the story of his first stand up comedy act, including a description of some people he paid to sit in the front row and laugh at everything. Getting scammed, getting lost, a gold prospector who worked with a cat, and a great story about a goat… “Roughing It” has it all.

I switched from spammy weather apps and other sites to just using the NOAA years ago! The maps are basic but show me what I need as well!

My tax dollars at work! I’m very pleased.

With all the lawyers in this country you’d think one of them on the train would use their hours long delay to assemble a law suit against the freight rail companies. What an insulting deal for taxpayers!
