Lots of confusion, so editing to attempt to ELI5.
When you've got 3 things orbiting each other, it's very difficult to create a formula that can correctly guess the position of the objects far in the future, or the past for that matter if all you know is the current positions, masses, and speeds. There's a couple ways you can make it easier.
* If one of them is much smaller than the other two, like it is with the Sun, Earth, and Moon, the moon's gravity can be mostly ignored and it can be calculated separately as two systems of two things orbiting each other.
* If you know that the orbits have been stable for a long time, you can guess that for the next short period of time, they will behave similarly (dynamic equilibrium).
Neither of these are the case with the program in OP. There are 3 objects orbiting each other, of nearly the same mass, perfectly balanced at the start. Since it can't be simplified to an equation, the normal way to go about predicting is to guess where the objects will be a short time in the future based on what we know about their current positions and speeds. Then we use this guess to make a further guess about the next position, and so on. The smaller the step forward in time, the more likely it will be correct.
The problem with guessing the future position is our numbers can only be so precise. Maybe the computer can only count in increments of 0.001. If it needs to guess 0.0011 it rounds it down to 0.001. But that 0.0001 difference might matter. In a real computer, a double (binary64) can hold almost 16 digits of precision. But when you're talking about a system so perfectly balanced as these three, it might need 17 digits or more. Really, the extra digits only make it stable for longer; eventually the rounding errors are going to add up to something big enough to matter (because this system doesn't converge to stability, some numerical systems *do* converge nicely, but this isn't one of them).
And when it does, like you see toward the end of the video, the different objects go careening off in different patterns, their symmetry broken.
My explanation doesn't do a great job illustrating how the system is chaotic. It basically means the system is very sensitive to small changes that are multiplied out quickly. In the case of n-body gravity, the forces over time are determined by coupled differential equations that are sensitive like this. Numerical methods are sort of an end-run around not having a closed form solution.<|eor|><|eols|><|endoftext|> | 2,273 |

And then I realized I can use enum for those cases.
The beauty in it is that not only you use a big clause of switch case, the enum should make it more readable, cuz a||b probably could probably be converted to a simple English statement.
That being said enum could require a bit more work to ensure truth of each value, but it is definitely nice in the end.<|eor|><|sor|>I love comments like this because I get to play "guess what fucking language they are talking about" multiple times a day.

But in a business environment you don't have Car and Bike. You have Electric Car, Hybrid, Diesel, Truck, Motorcycle, Van, etc. And those differ further by Sedan/Coupe, V6/4 Cylinder, the software version and update level in the vehicle, local and state laws, etc. and they all may need different routing.
And new categories spring up every day, existing ones change.
Yeah, you want the one that's maintainable.<|eor|><|eols|><|endoftext|> | 239 |

He was signing off on intellectual property to validate that it was original. In a patent office. Not a lab. I don't like to think about how useless I am.<|eor|><|sor|>You know, I just checked and he had published 5 papers at 25 and 26 years old. And those weren't even scientific papers, more ideas on how it might all work. I don't think this post is correct.
Also comparing yourself with one of the worlds smartest men and then concluding you're less smart is kind of obvious.
https://www.businessinsider.com/Einstein-biography<|eor|><|sor|>Oh! Youre right. His first paper (an incorrect theory that all intermolecular forces act like gravity, with their forces decreasing over distance) was published when he was 22 (1901). He worked in the patent office from 1901 (only moving from a temp to employed staff in 1902) to 1909. His four papers referenced in this post were published in 1905.
No shame in being wrong in that first paper tho. To this day, we're still trying to find a single quantum theory to unify all forces.<|eor|><|eols|><|endoftext|> | 144 |

Neural networks are an extremely memory-bottlenecked task; they spend almost all of their time shuffling data in and out of memory and very little actually computing on it.
[This blog post is a great read.](https://timdettmers.com/2023/01/16/which-gpu-for-deep-learning/) Modern tensor cores can do a massive matrix multiplication in a *single cycle* but must wait forever for the matrix to be filled with data:
>200 cycles (global memory) + 34 cycles (shared memory) + 1 cycle (Tensor Core) = 235 cycles.
[Neuromorphic computing](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/research/neuromorphic-computing.html) tries to solve this by physically implementing neural networks out of silicon "neurons". This removes the bottleneck by co-locating compute and memory in the same structure. However, this is still just a research area, and currently they cannot match the performance of modern GPUs.<|eor|><|eols|><|endoftext|> | 1,013 |
