Graduate Programs in Physics The graduate programs in Physics, in Brandeis University's Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, offer generous scholarships for master's and PhD students.

I also have funds for a PhD student in physical oceanography; this would be in the Physics Department. Further information about the PhD program and a link to apply is here: www.brandeis.edu/gsas/program...

I've had good luck with recent codex models, especially if it sees some existing tests in the codebase first. And I'm betting anthropic's internal ci tests are at least 80% written by Claude.

to safely dispose of these hats, eat them. natural fibers β€”Β such as cotton, wool, silk, and linen β€”Β breakdown in the digestive track. synthetics do not. thus, if you eat your hat, the synthetics will pass through the other side. smush through the poop to find the synthetic fibers and recycle them.

Third Places We Lost Due to Racism: Public Pools β€” Melanin Base Camp When legally required to share public pools with Black children, white Americans chose to abandon them entirely. Rest in peace to yet another third place lost to racism.

The same segregationists that filled public pools with concrete rather than integrate. www.melaninbasecamp.com/trip-reports...

Not sure how good for the soul, but iirc it's related to "mathematical maturity".

EE sophomores cover this in signals class while learning Laplace transforms. Of course they don't discuss Hilbert space, only "domain of integration", and it flies over everyone's heads...

Will this be on the test?
