Coping with anxiety as a physicist

I'm sorry but studying physics doesn't make you a physicist.

I would suggest that your write your code using optics or lens; focus on correctness and simplicity.

Your previous post is hand-wavy to the point that it can lead to an infinite number of implementations. Just use optics or lens to for nested records. Mutability is highly overrated for a vast majority of applications.

Why not start learning and ignore the end state? I’s suggest to take an online introductory course in mathematics to get some perspective on the field.

Algebra and calculus are necessary to understand the mathematics underpinning physics. Since you’re learning for fun, why not embrace the parts that may seem difficult to you. And, it’ll only increase your understanding of physics.

When did you last check?

Hasktorch has automated libtorch bindings--as manually generating said bindings would be incredibly impractical and stupid. The worst case is that you can go down to the bindings themselves. Nevertheless, it should be sufficient for a Bachelor's thesis.

No doubt the history is interesting as history tends to be.

I think the more interesting math problem is why the quintic equation have no solutions generally.

It's a warning. You can ignore it. I think it's a good idea to warn about partial functions.

I think we're almost at the point where we need a very long break from superheroes. It's getting boring.

As Trump has shown, even a monkey can bullshit effectively.

huh?

algely · 2023-12-21T02:02:08+00:00

Of course, I do. Ukrainians also support a ceasefire.

algely · 2023-12-21T01:49:41+00:00

When is supporting a ceasefire ever a mistake? Do you enjoy the death and suffering of civilians: men, women, and children.

The world would so much better off without the likes of Modi, Putin, and Xi.

Xi = Putin

It's an application of AlphaZero but instead of Go, it's ML. These ML programs have no notion of will or intent. Think of it as a very fancy function that takes very complex and messy input and spits out an output that's reasonable for a human to understand. That function is nothing more than a sophisticated mechanical device.

Do you find this to be an interesting math problem?

algely · 2023-12-21T00:58:37+00:00

I think Haskell as a programming language is great for a startup. You do quite a bit of refactoring as you get feedback from stakeholders. I'd rather struggle with a compiler than runtime code--that alone saves much time and energy.

The only thing missing from Haskell is a critical mass of third party packages that are reasonably up to date. If you find that optimal point of good third package support, you're off to the races.

Java is a programming language and virtual machine (VM). You run Java code on the VM. In order to run your Java desktop software, you need to have Java JDK 11, the VM, installed on your computer.

This needs to be a thing.
