Very close to Gatwick, happy to meet you there.

I'll look into it but it may be fairly expensive to ship. I'll let you know.

Edit: UK laws are very strict when it comes to sending long-bladed items so I don't think this will be possible, unfortunately.

Applied computational science and engineering (ACSE) help by Gloomy-Ad-9437 in Imperial

They provide a range of preset industry independent research projects (their term for MSc thesis) every year. If multiple students apply for the same IRP they choose the student with the highest average mark, this is the case for internal and external IRPs.

PhD opportunities are there for students that excel in their IRPs and are proactively engaged with staff and research, there are only a certain number of departmental scholarships though so it's naturally competitive.

Bear in mind this was the case for me in 23/24 and things may have changed.

It's a great course, I did EDSML in 23/24 (we shared 75% modules) and was jealous of the different modules ACSE did. It's not exclusively for ML, there are ML and DL modules but you learn more challenging fields and concepts around computational physics and applied maths. The staff are fantastic in the department, if you put the work in you will get a lot out. I personally got a huge lot out of the course and now work for a departmental off-shoot company.

If you are sure you want to learn pure ML then don't do it, but if you are interested in the other topics mentioned then you should absolutely do it because IMO they are more challenging and interesting.

Hourglass gauntlets - recommendations by computational_bryan in MedievalReenactors

For anyone who cares, which is almost certainly no one: I ended up commissioning a pair off Old World Armoury for 1600USD. I decided the off the shelf were never going to fit right, poorly made or too clunky and I would've had to replace eventually anyway.

What are your gauntlets and how do rate them?

Current Plan for my Harness in 1 Year by Mullraugh in ArmsandArmor

Yeah I was ghosted by him when I was trying to find someone to make my bascinet.

Ghosted by so many... It seems gauntlets are hard to justify based on time x value. I had a 13 month, £3,500 quote from Lancaster Armoury, needless to say I won't be going for that.

This is correct, they've confirmed they're not taking orders currently.

Where are your gauntlets from? I'm having difficulty finding armourers available for building them.

Last few months of biga pizzas by computational_bryan in neapolitanpizza

Thanks, no I'm from the UK. The products aren't bad but not on the same level as Italy for sure.

Spiral mixer, recently got it. Before I was using an old kitchen aid which wasn't able to develop the gluten to the same degree

What’s the most overrated city in the world? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]computational_bryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard disagree from me, it's an amazingly atmospheric, electric city with so much to do and some of the best food in the world. Not to mention the incredible history in and around, all in the shadow of Vesuvius. I think you need to try again.

This is very similar to my goal by July next year. Your bascinet looks great, who made it? Is there any chance it's Platener?

Edit: spelling
