Tropical cyclones are dangerous natural hazards, but their hazard is challenging to quantify directly from historical datasets due to limited dataset size and quality. Models of cyclone intensification fill this data gap by simulating huge ensembles of synthetic hurricanes based on estimates of the storm’s large scale environment. Both physics-based and statistical/ML intensification models have been developed to tackle this problem, but an open question is: can a physically reasonable and simple physics-style differential equation model of intensification […]

What’s the difference between average product teams and exceptional ones? Is it talent, tools, or both? Well, it’s rarely either of them; rather, it’s how quickly decisions are made, clarity is created, and how fast the team can make moves without unnecessary dependency. This is where the role of product managers becomes critical. When product leaders try to own everything, they unintentionally create friction and slow teams down. Good product leaders don’t do this; rather, they enable their […]

Non-parameterized constructors are a code smell of an invalid object that will dangerously mutate. Incomplete objects cause lots of issues. TL;DR: Pass the essence to all your objects so they will not need to mutate. Problems 😔 Mutability Incomplete objects Concurrency inconsistencies between creation and essence setting. Setters Solutions 😃 Pass the object’s essence on creation Create objects with their immutable essence.

Hello, I am wondering if anyone is aware of any universities or professors that offer online programs that provide guidance and help publish papers? Currently, I am working as embedded engineer and work with computer vision applications deployment on embedded systems and want to publish a research paper either in reinforment learning or computer vision. Additionally, I am working on a bipedal robot that can cut grass and wanted to use my side-project to perform research and publish […]

Hey everyone, I’m curious to hear if its possible to break into and do RL research/personal projects in robotics or related areas on a Mac M1 device? Aside from typical gym projects and stuff I suppose. I know there is the genesis engine so would that be the only option or are there other possibilities? Appreciate your thoughts. submitted by /u/Sad-Throat-2384 [link] [comments]

In the 1980s, the rock band Van Halen famously included a bizarre clause in their tour rider: a bowl of M&Ms in the dressing room with absolutely no brown ones. For years, the media mocked this as the ultimate example of rock star excess. But lead singer David Lee Roth later revealed the brilliant logic behind it. It wasn’t about the candy. It was a compliance test. Van Halen’s production involved massive stages, high-voltage electronics, and heavy rigging. If the […]
