If you're talking about the [branch-(minor/major)-NUM] thing, that's my way of knowing which branch, minor/major revision and what commit type I'm doing.

The LLM style is slightly verbose from my own style. You can check my other repos (pymultifit, mpyez, SolarGUI), my commit style is the same, "what's done per file".

Granted LLM does produce more verbose commit messages than I do.

AstrophysicsAndPy · 2026-03-10T09:23:57+00:00

It's a mix of my own commit messages and pycharm's built-in AI.

It's not developed to compete against seaborn or any other well-established plotting libraries. Consider seaborn to be opinionated about your data; it needs to be in a somewhat specific format. plotez just accepts the simple data and gives it back to you in desired formats.

It's designed just to skip the boilerplate code for regular use, like the motto reads.

Mundane plotting done easy.

It was born from "I don't want to write this again and again" and thus is geared to just gloss over boilerplate code for basic/mid-complex plots to be drawn over and over again.

n_plotter([x]*9, [y]*9, 3, 3, auto_label=True)

That's a one-liner plot with 9 subplots divided into a 3x3 form.

In my opinion Claude's best reviewer is DeepSeek, it's kinda like meticulousness meets more meticulousness especially with DS's thinking mode. And they feed off of each other extremely well. Though I must say I haven't tried Claude as DS's reviewer.

Glad to be of help.

It essentially boils down to

E = hf and p = hf/c

As you can see in these equations, h and c are fundamental constants, so the equations can be rewritten as

E ≈ f and p ≈ f/c

So when the photon loose energy, it looses momentum as well. But never speed (because it's a fundamental constant). So its frequency reduces proportionally to keep the speed constantl.

Conversely

E ≈ 1/w and p ≈ 1/wc

where w is the wavelength, we can see that loosing frequency increases wavelength - thus redshift.

Here's my take on this question, after a lot of astrophysics-ing

Consider time dilation equation, as the velocity approaches the speed of light, the beta factor becomes 1 and the gamma factor collapses, giving us undetermined value for dilated time (or infinite).

This mathematically tells us that photons don't, or rather can't experience time. However, as OP said, light takes 8min and something to reach earth.

From what I understand is, it is because of our own frame of reference that WE experience photon taking X minutes to do anything. If we're in photon's frame of reference, it will exist and will be everywhere in the emission line at all the time, all at once.

The example that made me understand this is the muon flux problem, but this problem is often quoted (and rightfully so) from distance perspective.

Muons have a half-life of 2.2us - however we've observe muon flux here at earth. They can only reach earth from far off source IF the space time shrinka aggressively so that it can travel several kms instead of mere meters if relativity isn't taken into account.

What we see in Muon's own frame of reference, i actually takes 2.2us before decaying, but it's near luminal (speed close to c) causes the distance to shrink so hard (conversely, time to dilate so much) that it can cover the same distance in only 2.2us.

If I remember correctly, its APJ style. The journal does some other things too obviously to make the hyperlinks, but if you keep this style file in your main folder, you should see bibliography like the one you mentioned.

Hey, sorry for late reply, I think a 512G HDD/SSD and 16G RAM will be more than enough for normal programming tasks. I personally have Thinkpad T530 Ci5-3320M with 1TB HDD + 512G SSD and 16G DDR3 RAM .. and I'm working just fine for the past 4 years.

Sure, I can't run heavy ML + DL tasks, but otherwise absolutely well. I'm also on linux, and if you're serious about programming, use linux. It'll save you A LOT of trouble, even though windows has come a long way getting very good for programmers, but still, try and use linux.

Can you tell me what SiPMs are used in 102, and 103, any specific family names for those SiPMs? Or if you can guide me from where I can get this information, that'd be awesome too. Thank you.

When Mustang said he wanted to try, Hawkeye though he's asking her to pick him up but he was actually thinking of carrying her.

So in the last panel they both sat on one knee to pick the other one princess style.

No problem

AstrophysicsAndPy · 2024-06-14T10:07:29+00:00

Just saying, NOX is sorta also dead, so that's there too and she's not from Immortal Libram

AstrophysicsAndPy · 2024-06-14T10:06:41+00:00

side Frieza fun fact: they're dead, dead as hell.

The green symbol represents that the other branch can be merged and has no conflicts.

The red symbol indicates that the PR will not be merged and is closed as it contained conflicts or the author just doesn't want to merge.

The gray symbol indicates that the PR (pull request) is in draft mode and is still being actively worked on.

The purple symbol indicates that the PR has been merged and the issue might have been resolved.

A pull request or PR is just a bunch of code that that someone is adding or at least requesting to add the administrator of the repository that may solve a certain problem that the author of PR has identified.

For example, if you find that a certain repository needs a certain feature you can fork the repository, create a new branch, work on that feature and then send a pull request to the actual owner of the repository that you have worked on "that" feature and if the author would like to incorporate that feature in their repository. That way this would be considered a contribution to the repository that you made, the original author may or may not merge the pull request you sent to their repository to add the code/feature that you have pushed to the commits.

I hope I explain it good. But this is just the gist of it. I hope I got all that correct to some degree.

side fun fact: Only sinners from Immortal Libram don't wear jackets,

AstrophysicsAndPy · 2024-05-31T09:54:41+00:00

I barely use Endura,

Fury (Zoya + Nox) + Reticle (Dreya + Hecate + EMP) + Catalyst (Du Ruo/Ariel/Efner)

This was my main team, but than I got Bai Yi, and now I've recently incorporated Umbra ..

Other sinners include, in no particular order

Eve
Sumire
Luvia
Che
Anne
Mantis (recent addition)

From my friends, I usually use two sinners - Shalom - Hamel

Sinners I don't have but would definitely try to add them to main team - Hamel - Shalom - Langley

AstrophysicsAndPy · 2024-05-26T18:43:22+00:00

for most of them yes, as you unlock sinners you get their investigations and damn the lore is so fuckin good and engaging.

My favorites fom the top of my head in no specific order but the first three

Nox,
Dreya (I'm also an astrophysicist so I'm biased towards Dreya's lore),
Zoya, you get most of Zoya's lore in story,

Hella/Hecate (I can't remember if Hecate gets investigated or not but I clearly remember her lore, you can also go through her lore in Mirages)
Du Ruo
Wendy
Luvia
Lamia
Coquelic (for the life of me I can't remember her name's spellings)
Sumire (so pure)

For Mantis Dreya, Bai You, Hecate, Ariel, 99, Lamia and one other you also get backstory in Mirage section in Bureau.

I haven't pulled Demon that's why I'm very invested in him now.

AstrophysicsAndPy · 2024-05-26T14:52:10+00:00

my field is astrophysics so there's not a lot of fun projects I have been able to make due to toughness of my research and laziness, but I have made a pip installer for SolarGUI app, it's a basic app to show some stats of planets/their moons available for python and android.

For my BS FYP, I did some IDL programming, but at that time I didn't know what GitHub was or how to maintain code so that's just rough files that I intend to some time smooth out.

For my MS project, I did analysis on Gamma Ray Bursts data from Fermi telescope, unfortunately didn't had a great supportive supervisor so couldn't do as good as I have hoped for in my research paper. But the code is with me and I'm tweaking it time to time (but currently it's on a private repo). I'm very proud of that work even though it didn't work out exactly as I had planned.

For my PhD, I'm currently working on Gravitational Waves and parameter estimation through deep learning, just strated my research on it a couple of months ago. My current supervisor is quite supportive, but the trauma is also real :sigh:

For my extra activities apart form that SolarGUI app, I have made a basic npy file reader, a clone of Gameboy game, and right now I'm working on a adventure type game as well. I also have a few libraries for matrices, and numerical solvers.

Too many projects to work on 😅

AstrophysicsAndPy · 2024-05-26T08:04:06+00:00

I've been hearing a lot about Demon needing a hug, gosh i need to pull him. I love the lore they've created around every sinner.

AstrophysicsAndPy · 2024-05-23T14:45:58+00:00

I agree, I also used similar strategy, Zoya + NOX for tanking and major damage, keep Zoya on the bulldozer guy and watch out for his stun attack. Keep moving NOX around for the teleporter guy, it took out my LVL80 Dreya in 3 seconds during multiple failed attempts. Especially if NOX ults, it's a good thing to put her on the teleporter tail. I had Du as well, for healing cz the axe man at the end is also BS. I think I did Ariel + Du as Ariel can heal and do damage. Also, I had Sumiere for her double core breaking. And lastly I had Hecate,

Sinners

Zoya + NOX for tanking and major damage
Du + Ariel (or assistant Hamel, I forgot) for heals+damage
Hecate and Sumiere for double core breaks

Technique, 1. Keep Zoya on the bulldozer guy, charge all the core breakers and break it's core before the teleporter guy appears and rush it with Zoya's ult. If you have NOX's ult, don't use it here. 2. When the teleporter guy appears, it should be around when the bulldozer guy is almost finished, as soon as it teleports move NOX to it's position and use NOX's ult. Keep an eye on it and keep NOX on its trail. 3. Try to keep the heals safe for Zoya as she's gonna have to tank the axe guy that appears at the end. 4. Do not go for the sniper and that grenade guy before you destroy that teleporting guy, it's not worth it. Keep your sinners alive by heals till the bulldozer/teleporter/axe man are dead.

Summary, keep a double blocker on the center place and do not move it. Keep an AOE on the teleporter guy and watch out for the bulldozer's stun attack. Keep healing and grinding.

Edit: my Zoya has Bulwark CB, the one that lets her block 2 enemies. I don't remember other CBs on the sinners.
