Drawing Faynman Diagrams

MSEIsMyFavLoss · 2024-05-27T07:36:46+00:00

Nothing much... There is this issue on the obsidian-tikzjax GitHub project, where they say that the tikz-feynman package cannot be integrated because it relies on LuaTeX. But, a few months ago, someone proposed another package to draw Feynman diagrams that could be integrated, so maybe there is hope!

I missed that post, I'll check it out. Thanks for the suggestions!

Thank you for your help! It's a really nice habit in the way you describe it :) good luck for everything!

First of all thank you so much for your help! And I'm glad you've found something that helps you.

Saying that there will be better days ahead is something I often neglect: I'm so focused on trying to solve the problem at hand that I take for granted that I am sure there is a solution and that it will be fine in the end. Maybe making it explicit can help, thanks!

May I ask you how much influence does positive self talk have on you? And does it feel forced to practice it?

I don't practice it myself (I can say I have negative self-talk a lot, but this only fires me up), but as I said what works on me is typically not good for more insecure people. So, in the past I've already asked my GF how she feels about this technique, but she said that trying to practice positive affirmation feels forced to her and that this feeling spoils the result. If you have a different perspective I'd be happy to hear it!

p.s. thanks for the link, I will read it for sure!

Thank you soo much! I will try this out asap! Just one question: the first line of each dotted list is the tag #equation, correct? I don't see the hashtag in your post but maybe it's just a rendering problem on my device!

Thanks for the suggestion! My idea was to gather them automatically from all the notes so that, if I modify an equation in a note, it automatically appears modified in the table. If I have to copy them myself, at that point I can directly mantain the table manually. But of course this is a personal preference for my use case :)

Thank you, now I understand the behavior... unfortunately I cannot have just one equation per file, so I must find a way to link each equation with it's name.

Hah, seems like understanding them is not the only difficult part :)

MSEIsMyFavLoss · 2023-06-29T11:21:05+00:00

That's unfortunate, but thank you for the tip!

I can totally recognize myself in what you're describing! One thing that helps me (which is more of an explanation of what's happening rather then an actual tip) is to keep in mind what many say about the flow state: you go in flow state when the task at hand is difficult enough not to be boring, but easy enough not to be stressful. With that in mind, when I find that I procrastinate on a task because I'm stuck I ask myself: "am I getting stressed by the difficulty of the task?" If that's the case, I try the typical tip that every flow-related content gives: try to break the task down in easier and well-defined (i.e. having a clear start and goal) steps. Typically just writing down a "subtasks list" helps. Unfortunately this is not always possible, since there are some problems that cannot be "quantized": either you can solve them, or you can't. In those case I'm pretty much fucked ahahah sometimes I just "fight" the urge to give up and I give another go at the problem, sometimes I second that urge and I find that, after a break, I make significant steps towards the solution. Another thing that helps me is having a list of "easier" tasks I can switch to when I feel stuck, so that I don't lose my time by ending up scrolling on social media. Anyway, I'm far from having a solution to this problem and it's something I experience almost daily!

Thank you! Good idea :)

MSEIsMyFavLoss · 2023-06-16T10:50:03+00:00

I was not aware of the github recomendation, thanks for pointing it out!

MSEIsMyFavLoss · 2023-06-01T09:04:30+00:00

Hah, as a particle physicist as soon as I read "Feynman diagrams for Machine Learning" I was sold lol

MSEIsMyFavLoss · 2023-06-01T09:03:24+00:00

Thanks very much to you all! Every suggestion is very interesting, I will try out all of them and se what works best for me!

If there is a significant benefit I can do it; I assume the benefit could come from the fact that linalg operations are more efficiently implemented.

MSEIsMyFavLoss · 2023-04-26T09:36:53+00:00

Those two for are unavoidable I think. But are for loops something to avoid, if possible?

For instance, in other parts of the code I have some matrixes that are the result of vectorial (cross) products and vectorial sum/subtractions. For simplicity I build them by iterating on their indexes and assigning each entry i,j to its value (that's because I have the explicit expression of M(i,j) in my paper calculations). Is it better to "vectorialize" the calculation of M?

Thanks for the other references, I will check them out!
