okay ign "expert" is kinda a strong word for vince :3

@Trats1999 @AflGlicko The model accounts for injuries and teamsheets each week, I believe the problem is that multiple key position injuries have compounding effects that are very hard to account for.
English
@AflGlicko The highest i saw was like Swans by 20 or so.
Is it difficult to add injuries/ missing players to change the model for that game/ round?
English
I said the tip was bad, cluster key position injuries ruin good models. Even Wheelo has Sydney by only a couple points.
It's easy from the cheap seats. Present something constructive or do it yourself.

@AflGlicko Fix ya model

@evanthetoon @rieszspieces @SinghJyotirmai Yep 🥲, get the Dirac adjoint for spinors with the overline so it all gets very messy ahahahhaa
English
@AusSam1309 @rieszspieces @SinghJyotirmai In math, we use \overline{} to denote the complex conjugate of a scalar or sometimes the entrywise complex conjugate of a matrix (this occurs when considering the adjoint representation of a group, for example). I'm sure \overline{} has other uses in physics!
English
Whoever came up with the dagger symbol was cooking it looks so awesome
English
@evanthetoon @rieszspieces @SinghJyotirmai In QFT though I do run into the issue of having dagger and + right next to each other in the superscript often.
English
@evanthetoon @rieszspieces @SinghJyotirmai Yeah very fair my first reply was too harsh. For me at least I need to be able to distinguish the difference between a matrix/vector/operator which gets a dagger and a scalar which gets a star. But in the maths world I guess this would not need this difference that often
English
English
@AusSam1309 @evanthetoon @SinghJyotirmai the * operation denotes adjoints, which is what the dagger operation is in the general case
English
@evanthetoon @SinghJyotirmai Do you even understand what it means?? For a matrix the dagger is the conjugate transpose of the matrix, you have suggested U* which already has the meaning complex conjugate
English
@SinghJyotirmai Looks stupid when you write it though, and could be confused with the transpose. I prefer U*.

@Mouseonfire76 @XanderMcGuire7 @7AFL @7NewsMelbourne @stkildafc This is about the previous case where he admitted to saying the f slur and served a 6 week ban + participated in training about pride in sport.
English
@AusSam1309 @XanderMcGuire7 @7AFL @7NewsMelbourne @stkildafc Your assumption is he called Hipwell a ‘faggot’. Collard’s evidence is contrary to this. From a procedural fairness point of view, Collard’s academic and cultural background are important considerations when his accusers were able to give evidence in a far more articulate manner.

Liam Ryan on Lance Collard’s 9 match ban for a homophobic slur:
“Double standards”
@7AFL @7NewsMelbourne
English
@Mouseonfire76 @XanderMcGuire7 @7AFL @7NewsMelbourne @stkildafc How can he be uneducated if he already got banned for saying a homophobic slur and had to complete pride and respect in sport training?
English
@XanderMcGuire7 @7AFL @7NewsMelbourne Bloody disgrace. @stkildafc better appeal this injustice to show their loyal fans that they stand for something. Butters being lauded by the AFL media whereas Collard hung out to dry because he’s uneducated & crude. The 2 Saps who put him in - envy. 1st penalty was excessive 🤬

@DKlemitz @martinmbauer No, when doing LHC searches you also use simulated data of both the null hypothesis and the test hypothesis, to which you also apply the same selection criteria as we do to the actual LHC data. Without the trigger to prefilter data it would produce to much to physically store
English
Looks impressive, but in the time this robot performs a pre-computed sequence of rotations to solve a Rubik’s Cube, the Large Hadron Collider produces ~60 million collisions and actually uses Machine Learning in its trigger chain to select the few hundred most promising events
Sergey Karayev@sergeykarayev
This robot solving a rubiks cube in 0.103 seconds is a little preview of what "AGI" really means
English
@Steve75587124 @martinmbauer It's not about the production of the particle it's the development of the technology required to do so and detect it.
English
@martinmbauer It’s pretty speculative to think producing Higgs bosons will be a great technological lever. Is our current technology built on producing tau particles and Z bosons?
English
Higgs bosons produced per year!
Basic research shapes the future. In the 19th century the equivalent of the list below would read like
1) Horses per carriage
2) Coal burned per hour
…
But the real lever was the money spend on physicists researching electromagnetism
Andrew Côté@Andercot
It seems like these are the greatest civilizational technology levers of our time 1) Intelligence per Watt on a chip 2) kWh per kg in a battery 3) kW per kg in an electric motor 4) $ per kWh from a power source 5) Tbps per watt for data 6) kN per kg in a rocket Any others?

@notanastronomer @paulnovosad One of my lecturers attended Caltech and loved the challenging take home finals xD. His exams are interesting but generally too long to finish in time given. Probably my favourite professor to learn things from however.
English
@paulnovosad disagree. There is a such a thing as too hard. The one-week take-home final that everyone spent ~20 hours on and the median grade was a 30? At Caltech, so the best physics students in the world? That was in fact just torture.
English
Hard classes are not torture for the strongest students. They are thrilling.
“Torture” for you is essential training for tomorrow’s top scientists.
Completely insane to dumb things down so that average students can pretend they are as good as the best.
lucy 🐧@uneventual
(no shade to op) Everyone makes fun of American higher education, but then it has the highest scientific output in the world and its graduates are extremely productive. I don't understand why torturing undergrads with hard classes is actually societally desirable.
English
Geelong with an actual ruck, I fear it is over for the rest of the competition.
English
@garryshocking @MWL152 Yeah I'm with this too where our midfield has been so good all year but the lions midfield is just unbelievably star-studded, approaching cousins judd Kerr type stuff
English
@MWL152 Midfield showed up, yes. But better still than most midfields in the comp. Lions have elite depth in the midfield and it proved too much.

@traderadio @AFL Nobody wants 11 hours a day of trade radio and everyone is confused abt why it keeps getting funded.
English
It's back! AFL Trade Radio returns bigger (and earlier) than ever before in 2025!

@maximumwelfare @mentallyworld Especially with no PT infrastructure 💀💀💀
English
@mentallyworld I am reasonably confident no-one will travel interstate to go to a 'boutique stadium gig' in Tasmania.
English
No dude. It doesn’t need to be that big.

If you missed it, the estimated capacity for concerts at Mac Point has been lifted to 38,000. That's thousands of Tasmanians who don't have to leave the State, and can enjoy a world-class act right here at home. It's thousands of visitors spending money in our small businesses, creating jobs, wealth and opportunity for Tasmanians. That's what Mac Point unlocks for us.
