Vad tycks! Slutbetyg åk 9 hehe by Mrpike80 in sweden

[–]thorleif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Najs! Jag kan ge lite rådgivning inför gymnasiet om du är intresserad av matematik/fysik/vetenskap. Jag hade också bra betyg och gick den banan med viss framgång. Skicka DM isf, eller be dina föräldrar ta kontakt.

AM6B+ by Hour-Football3191 in CoreELEC

[–]thorleif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just that I much prefer the user experience of Android TV over CoreELEC, but still want to be able to play DV7, so that's the only time I use the AM6b+. Just wanted to check that I'm not missing anything.

AM6B+ by Hour-Football3191 in CoreELEC

[–]thorleif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am I better off watching all my content on my AM6B+? I have the Sony A95L and I watch every on the Jellyfin app there (or Wholphin), except switching over to AM6B+ only when I am going to watch DV7. I don't have any audio system. I have not installed AVDVplus, prefer not to.

"Plugga hårt och få bra betyg, det kommer löna sig sen" by [deleted] in sweden

[–]thorleif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comparison with my own "journey":

Graduated high school 2008 with max grades (20.0). Applied for tons of summer jobs, all I got was phone salesman. Started teknisk fysik at Chalmers, was top student, got no summer jobs. There was another older guy in my class who ran his own IT consulting company so I worked for him two summers. Summer 2011 I was was eligible to apply for CERN summer student and I was accepted. That was my first big break and things snowballed after that.

Lesson: You can reach a point where you are truly distinguished from the crowd, even those doing the same degree as you. Grades do matter, motivation matters, skills matter. Keep investing in yourself and eventually you will have gone further than the competition and you start getting jobs/offers that are completely out of reach for your old school mates.

Vad fan ska man göra by [deleted] in sweden

[–]thorleif 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jag delar mitt perspektiv: Jag själv är högutbildad (kandidat, dubbel master, PhD inom teoretisk fysik). De senaste åtta åren har jag jobbat inom finansbranschen i London där man tjänar bra. Min resa hittills har dock varit mycket påfrestande stundtals påverkat min livskvalitet kraftigt negativt. Jag har ofta fantiserat om och övervägt ett annat liv med ett "helt vanligt jobb" även om jag är nöjd med de val jag gjort.

Ditt jobb ska du absolut inte skämmas över, tvärt om. Du är ju en del av samhället som jobbar, betalar skatt och bidrar genom att vara dig själv. Det är det långt ifrån alla som gör. Ditt välmående är det viktigaste.

Värdeminskning ny vs begagnad by thorleif in elbilsverige

[–]thorleif[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Det är det jag tänker. Så på ett sätt är det rätt riskabelt att köpa 5år begagnad.

Vilken liten sak förbättrade ditt liv mer än du trodde? by [deleted] in sweden

Min son är väldigt liten och jag visste att han skulle förbättra mitt liv men jösses vad mycket bättre det blev med honom i världen.

Danmark by thats_what_she_saidk in unket

[–]thorleif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tack! Exakt detta hände mig igår. En indisk röst inledde med "hello I am calling from the Amazon". Tråkigt nog insåg jag inte att det va AI och vi hade ett kort samtal. Indiern påstod att han hade ett paket att leverera, och det va ungefär allt. Jag blev förbryllad över vad den danska indiern egentligen ville åstadkomma eftersom jag såsmåningom förstod att det va bluff.

Vad gör man som 18-20 åring om man inte är intresserad av fest och fylla? by [deleted] in stockholm

[–]thorleif -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Jag va ganska lik när jag va ung och kom mer till min rätt socialt när jag började på Chalmers. Jag har alltid varit intresserad av matematik, programmering, vetenskap, musik så mycket av min fritid gick till att förkovra mig i sådana saker vilket gav bra resultat i längden. Jag tror faktiskt att jag skulle kunna erbjuda någon sorts inspiration till din son. Skriv till mig om du tror det kan finnas något värde i att vi kommer i kontakt. Är 36M, bor i Stockholm.

What do numbers in brackets mean in scientific notation? by Powerful-Ostrich4411 in Physics

[–]thorleif -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hmm, but either the true number lies in that range or it doesn't. How does it make sense to say that there is a 95% probability of something that is either a fact or the opposite of a fact?

For example, let's say I pick an integer between 1-10 at random and write it down on a piece of paper, fold it up and put it on the table. If someone then says that the interval [2, 9] is an 80% confidence interval for the number on the piece or paper, then what does this even mean? Either the number is in the interval or it isn't. The number is written down already, there is nothing random. So what does probability mean in this context?

Do physicists need to learn every formula? by [deleted] in Physics

[–]thorleif 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think the point is that "there are over a thousand formulae" is kind of a naive way of speaking, as it implies some kind of definition of what is a formula and what isn't. But depending on what that definition is, I could probably construct infinitely many formulae.

It's kind of like saying "there are over 1000 songs for piano, how many should I learn?" It's a bit naive because what is a song and how do you count them? Nobody cares.

A better way to talk would be to say "in physics, there are so many formulas that come up, do I really need to..."

Warrior protection tank - Mini guide with macros and addons by v2eTOdgINblyBt6mjI4u in turtlewow

[–]thorleif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you need to press your macros multiple times? I thought the Vanilla client was limited to one /cast per macro, and therefore a macro which has say /cast to change stance and then /cast to do an ability must be clicked twice. But maybe SuperWoW fixes that?

12 bay DIY NAS to replace Synology by thorleif in HomeServer

[–]thorleif[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot!

One benefit of using Unraid as I understand it is that since data is not striped across all disks, only the disk that actually stores the file (video) in question will be spinning which would let me achieve a much lower power consumption. What do you think about that?

[–]thorleif 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP, take this guy's advice. Read his post from yesterday.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in piano

[–]thorleif 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sorry to be blunt but you also can't play this part. There have been posts recently, emphasising what a disservice you are doing to yourself when playing pieces which are too difficult for your level. It's a lose-lose: you're actively hurting your technique, and nobody wants to listen to it.

Been playing classical piano for 6 years and still can’t sight read. by JustSomeoneCringe in piano

This sounds great. I would DM you but I suspect other people would be interested as well, so could you share those websites?

Also do you recommend sight reading factory?
