7516 0135The closest word for the state that occurs when months of failing to uncover the roots of a problem that effectively halts one’s research and forces one to spend time on little insignificant things finally and abruptly end; the feeling of having a brand new solution for a problem that has become far too familiar and ingrained in all of one’s thoughts and even dreams, is “exaltation”, more or less in both senses of the word. This won’t be easy and not a few nights will be spent rewriting non-trivial codes but there’s a way now, and a point.Tags: personal, science:neuroscience, work State: accomplished Sound: Death In June & Boyd Rice - Alarm Agents: Untouchable |

13116 0536I’m cold, nervous, and tired. I’m in the perfect mood for data analysis. Citās ziņās, jāgaida jaunumi no LIGO. Iespējams, ka beidzot ir reģistrēti gravitācijas viļņi. |

221215 1648DSI Studio ir labs, bet lēns rīks (no otras puses, pašu attiecīgo algoritmu lielais O ir diezgan šausmīgs, līdz ar to it kā par velti sūdzos (no trešās puses, tas pasākums lielākoties ir apkaunojoši paralēls, līdz ar to offloadošana uz GPU vai MPI atbalsts būtu jauki)), HCP WU-Minn datu sets 25-35 g. veciem indivīdiem miera stāvoklī (44.6 GB) procesēsies vismaz līdz pusnaktij, savukārt, velkot minēto datu apdeitu, Firefokša Aspera plugina svaigākā versija iesākumā lūza un kārās ik pēc dažām minūtēm.

161015 1744Cats can work out mathematically the exact place to sit that will cause most inconvenience. Cats can perform the combinatorial optimization problem of maximizing inconvenience between the chosen locations and the locations which are not selected. The problem of finding the configuration that maximizes inconvenience among a exponentially large number of candidate solutions is NP-complete. Future work on cat metaheuristics will review which algorithms are being used in polynomial time with a constant cat approximation ratio. |
