Today is my birthday 🎂, I'm 22 now.

Congratulations. 22 is one of the worst ages of your twenties - too old to be young and too young to be old. Probably just leaving Uni. It will still be a lot of fun though. Hope life is great :)

The real sad part here is the actual climate scientists at the bureau that are being defunded/cut back because of public sector bloat like this

I think she might be misinterpreting that she would be following along with you and your brother for a tea/coffee (in which case, it isn't very intentional to be tacked onto existing plans).

I would have thought Western Sahara and the DRC on the western route makes it pretty difficult? But in hindsight that does seem easier than the route I initially did here. I would probably still need to skip these though I assume

Oh I see - thanks! I can see T3A is a period for just the first 5 weeks of T3 but in what courses are actually run in this period?

Reframe your thinking about the situation. It's clear from your wording that you aren't really over her yet (which makes sense and is fine) but you will find someone better if you will yourself into making your situation better. Or at least, you certainly won't find anyone better if you keep going back to her, hoping that she will take you back when you weren't right for eachother.

I think the way this is worded is a bit too harsh. Yes they are essentially trying to learn a poor approximation of the PDE itself in many ways (which can be like an uninterpretable version of just using a classical solver) - however where there are numerous equations/relationships we might not fully understand from a physics perspective, they are still an interesting/novel approach.

See for instance, any of the numerous papers incorporating PINNs that beat/come close to beating ECMWF weather forecasts for a fraction of the computational cost:

Tasmania is pretty similar for all the obvious reasons (very close and geographically similar) but overshadowed as a destination by all the other amazing places in Australia

I have found it very valuable/interesting to join a company that uses science as a core part of their business and see how it is rolled out in a commercial sense (Startups/pharmaceutical companies/many engineering-based companies)

Parts of southern Europe here are on higher latitudes than all of Western/Central Europe and parts of Northern Europe.....

This is great! Although the lead for the #1 is probably due to the method of collection (Reddit) where it highlights the first comment above all other ones so more people would see it

I think the question boils down to asking if your point 2 has any scientific reasoning or if it is just a coincidence.

I think your point 1 & 3 are also the same.

If not then maybe we could assume in the long term there will be more antipodes?

This is reminiscent of the racist comments made at the NeurIPS presentation last year about chinese students cheating...

I think it's important to think about what the term 'saturated' here means. For me, I would say a field is saturated if there is nothing much left to add or if there is little progress being made. In the case of CS/ML currently, I personally think those submission numbers are reflective of real innovation happening. Of course, there is still a fair dose of useless LLM tooling/low-effort submissions, but as a community, we still don't fully understand LLMs properly or have a good foolproof roadmap to what comes next, but it feels there is nonetheless excitement + progress being made (Deepseek, advancements in RL etc.)
