I wonder what the flow chart for the "Mitigate Course Content" stage looks like - do you have to double bag it? Can you schedule a pickup from EH&S, or do you have to place the books in the incinerator yourself? Are there collection boxes like those 'shiroposuto' boxes?
Your #BanjoAunti is here with a special guest: Ed Helms! While filming “Ode to Mary Jo” Ed and I got to have some banjo time behind the scenes. Today we’re demonstrating the difference between clawhammer and Scruggs-style banjo.
Anyway, ICE must be abolished and we should not tolerate positions that are mealy mouthed about it.
William Foege has died. He was a central architect of smallpox eradication, pioneering surveillance-driven ring vaccination when vaccine supply was limited. That strategy helped eliminate the deadliest human pathogen we’ve ever known.

If you don't know anything more about y, you can't do faster than O(log n), and it'll be binary search. In practice, you might be able to do faster, since binary search can be pretty cache horrible. This trick has also gotten me speedups for lots of searching - lemire.me/blog/2019/09...
oh you must be one of those freaks without an internal monologue then
Two statements from recent observations.
1. ChatGPT can't pass my exam.
2. Students using ChatGPT for many things can ALSO no longer pass exams when they can't use ChatGPT because they can no longer put together logical thought patterns as they have outsourced it so much.
This album is great and absolutely worth a listen - or a lot of listens!

have you see "Squigonometry: The Study of Imperfect Circles" (doi: 10.1007/978-3-031-13783-9)? I bought a copy just for the existential terror that some of the p-norm trig function identities induce...

went on the second round of viola bow shopping today, and the pattern repeated itself - my two favorite choices were basically exactly the same weight again (68.5g), but much lighter than the pair of identical weight bows (71.5g) from the last store.

Eh, aren't farmers good at fixing complex optomechanical systems when they break?
(but yes I think there was a reason they couldn't give away those particular lasers fast enough, to the point that I ended up in the emails)
Weird how that works - there's a lot more to laser than average power? Who woulda thought...
The other advantages of the small RF source I went with are primarily that it isn't 2.5m long, and it doesn't have a 60kV power supply in close proximity to fragile water cooled parts.
they switched to much more reasonable but $$$ sources, of course. And I decided that I really didn't need that much laser (and a killer HV power supply) around, since my only project that needs 10.6um only wants 10W or so, but really cares about good power control...
lol I was on an email thread offering free 300W CO2 laser sources from the company in question about a year ago.
Laser applications for agriculture seem very hard. Extra so if you're using really bulky and fragile glass-tube DC systems...
