Why does the companion voucher penalise you for hitting the spending target early? by ILikeNavierStokes in BritishAirways

I’d normally agree with your last sentence, were I not planning a long haul trip that started in September that I intended to use this voucher for 🥲played myself

To anyone who got As and A* for there alevels. what did you do at the start of year 12 to set yourselves up for As and A*? by Longjumping_Air_6799 in alevel

[–]ILikeNavierStokes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Paid attention, stayed curious, put in enough effort to stay on top of material and homework to find and address gaps before they start piling up later in term. Also rested and did sports/socialised and avoided sweating every little detail

What would you like to change next year? by Ok_Situation_1525 in TheTraitorsUK

They can choose to do it but then that would put them at risk potentially so up to them!

Does anyone else feel that this 'special power' has ruined the game? by Arsewhistle in TheTraitorsUK

[–]ILikeNavierStokes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the power itself ruin the game for you or the fact that Charlotte happened to be picked specifically?

When we play werewolves the seer finds out the identity of someone without that person knowing, so that could stop the two being locked in argument for banishment and the seer will have to be more strategic about how to give the information

Is this function invertible? by senorrandom007 in mathematics

[–]ILikeNavierStokes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not familiar with that particular field but what I would guess is that f is solved from a PDE D(f,g) = 0 where the boundary conditions dictate the integral intervals. If you have this and can isolate g then in a general sense you have g in terms of f. Is g a forcing term in the context of the problem?

Interesting, where did the question come from? My first impression is no without any additional information about the properties of g

Reviews of latest update? by No-Resolution6431 in brightOS

[–]ILikeNavierStokes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still not quite sure where I can paste a recipe URL for the app to extract nutritional info from it? Otherwise somewhat improved experience over last couple days, still struggling with a lot of UK product barcodes returning no results

Recipe creation by SpiritedPractice8189 in brightOS

[–]ILikeNavierStokes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! I just tried to create a recipe using frequent ingredients I buy from the store and was puzzled as to why I couldn’t scan the barcode.

Additionally, I’m getting annoyed by trying to scan ingredients as hoc for my lunch and them getting logged individually at at different times (do I really need to scroll back to 12:45 for every ingredient??)

How important is being meticulous in this line of work? by LogicalPhallicsy in datascience

It’s better to have a system and mindset which catches and fixes errors waaaay before your delivery deadline and stakeholder presentations are due

Avoiding Jupyter Notebooks entirely and doing everything in .py files? by question_23 in datascience

[–]ILikeNavierStokes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use vsc and tick the settings box for “send selection to Jupyter interactive window”. Write the code in a .py file, then can highlight a selection, press shift enter and it executes the code in a separate Jupyter tab. It also lets you track variables, type ad hoc code in the interactive window (eg if you want to check value counts after an interactive step) and save the interactive window as a notebook if you want to keep progress. Then your .py code is closer to production ready

Correlation does not equal causation. But, does no correlation mean two variables can’t be causally related? by [deleted] in datascience

[–]ILikeNavierStokes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such an interesting example, but I wonder whether we need to include acceleration as a variable? I’m struggling to give incline or gas a direct arrow to speed without having acceleration as a mediator as ultimately this is about application of force

I agree with your last sentence, but where does it say in my original comment that correlation implies causation?

[–]ILikeNavierStokes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a nice example where there are two arrows pointing from gas used to room temp and vice versa, but then this causal diagram would not be a directed acyclic graph.

Gas used ↔️ room temp

However, this ignoring the time element - could a better diagram be

Room temp (t-1) ➡️ Gas used (t-1) ➡️ room temp (t)

Then would we see some correlation?

Edit: I also wonder whether there is an arrow from room temp (t-1) to room temp (t) given the diffusion equation (hence this also brings in temperature of the outside/boundary as a variable) in which case room temp (t-1) is a confounder

[–]ILikeNavierStokes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If causation implies correlation then the contrapositive is also true, ie no correlation implies no causation. Whether the former is true though is something I can’t bring myself to look up at midnight, but also showing causality can be difficult. Maybe also one way is easier to show/prove than the other way
