I enjoy things around information theory (and data compression), complexity theory (and cryptography), read hard scifi, currently work on weird ML (we'll see how it goes), am somewhat literal minded and have approximate knowledge of random things. I like when statements have truth values, and when things can be described simply (which is not exactly the same as shortly) and yet have interesting properties.
I live in the largest city of Switzerland (and yet have cow and sheep pastures and a swimmable lake within a few hundred meters of my place :)). I speak Polish, English, German, and can understand simple Swiss German and French.
If in doubt, please err on the side of being direct with me. I very much appreciate when people tell me that I'm being inaccurate. I think that satisfying people's curiosity is the most important thing I could be doing (and usually enjoy doing it). I am normally terse in my writing and would appreciate requests to verbosify.
I appreciate it if my grammar or style is corrected (in any of the languages I use here).

The training procedure involves randomness, so if you do it from scratch you will not get the same thing anyway.
That sounds like an interesting question: given a training dataset, how likely a particular model is to result from, say, SGD on that dataset (or as a result of any other known training procedure that involves randomness)?
Sv being J/kg is kinda a lie on that chart: it's more accurately the amount of radiation that would provide biological effects equivalent to that amount of some standard spectrum.
I don't really see much of a difference between starting with time and frequency: we define all of that by "one period of <some lightwave>" anyway, so we essentially start with frequency. We also divide by units of surface area in quite a few places.
Re charge: amusingly 1 mole of electrons is something like 96 kC.
> One of the meters, which was located north of Grindavík, went under lava, but over 20 GPS meters are in the area that are being used.
Hm~ I would be surprised if it actually went _under_.

Also: Schildkröte (shield toad == turtle), Regenschirm (rain shield/screen == umbrella), Fallschirm (fall shield/screen == parachute), Glühbirne (glowing pear == lightbulb), Wasserstoff (water substance == hydrogen), Sauerstoff (sour substance == oxygen), Frauenarzt (woman doctor == gynecologist), Seehund (sea dog == seal), ...

Or descriptions of ways to affect some important property (e.g. "to increase stickiness add eggs, to decrease it add water").
@LesterHammerer@mindly.social an approach you might not have considered is to find a package forwarding service in the EU, have the bookstore ship it there (I assume the shipping costs would not be absurd for shipping to within EU), and have them reship it to US.
@lauren they are also peculiar: both depict people reacting to similar events, but claim that they affect them in ~exactly opposite ways.
I also prefer the movie version, but am unsure if it's not overly optimistic.
@lauren interestingly, the book it's based on has roughly similar events, but very different attitudes/thought processes of people. (I am being somewhat circumspect to avoid spoilers.)
How is the following relationship related to ability to DM someone?
You might wish to know that UK has a similar attitude to anything with a blade.
You can brake in Sun's atmosphere, so you "just" need to get to an orbit with low enough perihelion. That doesn't change the conclusion though (I think? ISTR that bielliptic transfers work similarly for elliptical source and destination orbits, but Wikipedia says nothing about that).
I am doing such merges constantly :)
I have a checkout of nixpkgs, and sometimes have a few unrelated PRs open. I want my system to use a version of nixpkgs that includes all my changes. Thus, I have a script that finds all the branches with my PRs and makes a merge of upstream/master with all of them.
I never push that merge commit anywhere and never commit anything on top of it; it's just there so that I can point my nixos flake at a version of nixpkgs.
Some people (e.g. me) strongly dislike it on the receiving side. In my childhood I felt extremely strongly about that approach and perceived it as being lied to. Over time my reaction mellowed out, but I still dislike it. I think my dislike is at least somewhat justified: if someone wants to be able to reason in arbitrary logically correct ways, then that deprives them of that possibility.
The way I try to satisfy both people like me and people who want the simplified version is by explicitly annotating parts as being only "morally correct" as opposed to actually true and precise.
@lauren I suspect that they like being touched on the forehead in general, because they often rub it against objects and people (presumably as part of leaving their scent on them).
Some guys reviving a scanning electron microscope from early 90s that was being scrapped: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1OWIgy9S0sOFNL3VpJq7UkqUR78M9EEU (commentary in Polish)
And there's one more eruption near Grindavik (this time closer to the town).

This begs the question why don't protons explode.
