And by that, you mean using heart-sized servings, right?

Someone who understands. I have never seen a recipe call for x cloves that wasn’t infinitely better with 5x cloves.

Just noticed that you chose the nicest kernel size. Even better.

Ah, you’re right, I haven’t taken Stat. Mech. in almost 5 years so my brain just latched on to the general form. Analysis in frequency space is always fun

Oh fuck yeah

Another nice way one could preserve the complex data when visualizing it would be to make a 3d color mesh and display the imaginary components as the height in z and the real component as the color scale (or vice-versa).

Edit* now I am trying to think if there would be a clever way to show the abs, Re and Im values in one 3d plot, but drawing a blank. Maybe tie Im to the alpha value to make the transparency change as the imaginary component goes up and down? It would just require mapping the set of all numbers from -inf:inf to 0:1, which is doable in a 1-1 transformation iirc since they both have cardinality C. I think it would be

alpha = 1 - 1/(1-e^{Im(z)})

Which looks a lot like the equation for Bose-Einstein statistics in Stat. Mech. I was never very good at complex analysis or group theory though, so I don’t really know what to make of that.

Apply a nice gaussian kernel convolution to the fft and smooth that doodle out! Lets get blurry up in this doodle party!

If they didn’t want us to enjoy smelling it, they wouldn’t make it from aromatic compounds.

One downvote from a bootlicker lol

“Logically, my hips, as a function of being a biological characteristic, are entirely incapable of being deceptive or inaccurate.”

It is literally just state gov employees in TX that are barred from unionizing, I shit you not. We have no worker protections when it comes to any element of collective bargaining. The state can terminate our contracts as punishment for doing so. Even teachers here aren’t allowed to. Unsurprisingly, pigs (and firefighters too for optics I guess) are the only state employees allowed to unionize.

This includes political subdivisions of the state, so county/city employees are also barred.

Yep. Current me would have told younger me to get the fuck out and go to a different grad school literally anywhere else. I now tell that to prospective graduate students whenever I meet with them.

I agree, but my peers don’t despite my attempts to convince them (out of a sense of fear mostly, not aversion to the idea, as is often the case). Many are international students at my school and the state uses that as a cudgel for union breaking, as the law demolishes their immigrant worker/student status that relies on their position if they were to unionize.

Through a tremendous amount of effort, my boss and I have leveraged every ounce of pressure we have on the university administration to give us these necessary improvements to success, with full insurance coverage coming this fall.

Still fucking sucks that we basicallly had to rely on the support of the professors to make this a reality. It would be nice if that solidarity was affirmed by collective bargaining

Cries in Texas Graduate Student who is legally prevented from unionizing 🫠

Having to petition my university for basic considerations (not owing back tution to the university despite being employed by them, getting health care covered, getting pay raises so we can afford to live where we work) has been hell without any union support.

Fuck Texas, can’t wait to finish up here and move.
