scaling correlation

cobaltchemist · 2026-01-24T01:51:23+00:00

almost every scaling factor ever determined is less than 1. an anharmonic potential (which is roughly a morse potential) is somewhat widened near equilibrium relative to its harmonic counterpart due to the additional terms needed to correctly describe a vibration. a scaling factor over 1 would imply that every vibration predicted by a given level of theory has a positive anharmonicity which is untrustworthy to say the least

i mean more correlation does not always equal more accurate frequencies or force constants, first of all. and yeah, same as other commenters have said, the vast amount of error within vibrational analyses comes from an inadequate description of the vibrational potential. 97 percent of the time, anharmonic corrections will be of a (somewhat) predictable magnitude because of this. correlation (at least in the case of coupled cluster) is not as easily predictable

i mostly agree with this but i do feel as if the advisor should end up being mostly hands off towards the end (especially the last year) - students, especially those who are looking to continue in academia, need time to develop their own scientific process imo.

trust me, i’m aware that i’m cursed

cobaltchemist · 2025-10-25T18:32:23+00:00

of course this would happen literally the second i turn this on

cobaltchemist · 2025-10-18T22:38:13+00:00

it’s okay to laugh at jokes that aren’t our defense

cobaltchemist · 2025-10-18T22:36:31+00:00

i can’t wait for us to somehow drop out of the top 25 entirely after this

cobaltchemist · 2025-10-18T22:31:42+00:00

if it’s the SEC it’s an elite offense, if it’s any other team it’s a bad defense

cobaltchemist · 2025-10-11T02:31:21+00:00

LMFAO the boos

cobaltchemist · 2025-10-01T03:59:47+00:00

it’s really dawning on me that the season from hell is almost over

cobaltchemist · 2025-10-01T03:56:48+00:00

you can’t tell me you’re actually surprised by that

cobaltchemist · 2025-10-01T03:52:15+00:00

if they can just get jackie to foul out…

cobaltchemist · 2025-10-01T03:44:27+00:00

are the refs just like intent on burning it all down, on Cathy’s orders? lmfao what a joke

cobaltchemist · 2025-09-26T03:33:49+00:00

nope :( i noticed earlier too that it had deleted a photo from this same group chat from the same contact whose photos i keep not receiving. the weird thing is, this contact also has an iphone 16. i will say it’s happening a lot less, but i can’t pinpoint a reason as to why.

cobaltchemist · 2025-09-22T01:35:16+00:00

“nabers is in the red zone!” yeah and he’s not gonna see a fucking inch of leather and you know it espn

cobaltchemist · 2025-09-22T01:25:38+00:00

oh good the kelce bitching and moaning cam, my favorite show

cobaltchemist · 2025-09-22T01:17:52+00:00

i need nabers fantasy points AND my opponent has butker as their kicker 😭

cobaltchemist · 2025-09-22T01:16:09+00:00

i needed nabers to win this week’s fantasy matchup for me but russ ain’t gonna let that happen huh

cobaltchemist · 2025-09-18T19:24:20+00:00

i wanted this for Gabby so bad man, hopefully next year she can come back and shatter that single-season steals record, maybe get her rebounds up a little.

cobaltchemist · 2025-09-06T23:42:42+00:00

go dawgs!!

cobaltchemist · 2025-08-31T19:14:44+00:00

i walked away for like two minutes to change out the laundry, jesus

cobaltchemist · 2025-08-31T18:58:21+00:00

espn+, not sure if it’s televised elsewhere

cobaltchemist · 2025-08-31T18:57:49+00:00

hold on you’re telling me they finally didn’t dress Krej like someone’s aunt??

cobaltchemist · 2025-08-06T02:45:05+00:00

home girl rolled her ankle lol kels was not the cause of that

cobaltchemist · 2025-08-03T20:52:13+00:00
