There's nothing new per se here, but it's nonetheless a saddening read, gaaaaah.

Forget climate denial, Labor’s tactical fatalism will burn us all. The climate movement is ill-equipped to deal with a threat that looks like this. Any fantasy we had of a global moral pact of good intentions is dead.
The above is only strictly true for “small” amplitudes. If the #pendulum is subject to large amplitudes, it is no longer governed by the simple linear differential equations alluded to above. Given that the rod remains rigid and no energy is dissipated, the pendulum #equations may still be solved exactly, though they are now #nonlinear.

Can you imagine any other climate research group asking for less money?
WA’s environment watchdog stripped of power to assess big polluting projects
@ApaulD OMZ this is atrocious. What the hell is wrong with her & her party? What mongrels.

I'd say that most things that survive (locally) for long periods of time make the same #evolutionary adjustment.
High efficiency is not #sustainable, unless periodic catastrophic crashes (in number) are tolerable.
OTOH, most systems do not come to this accord on their own, the environment in which it lives constrains optimal #efficiency attainable.
Some more info & illustration of the lens axis used above (excerpt from the #LiterateProgramming source code of the much older #Clojure version of https://thi.ng/viz)
This axis type uses circular interpolation to create the non-linear mapping:

There will also be an alternative/similar version using the generalized Schlick formula:

@shojiwax Paraburdoopians should count their lucky stars that #ClimateCrisis is merely a hoax from commie socialist pinko gay trans lefthanded librarians. Otherwise, just imagine how bad it might be!
Last week, our RSEs attended twin conferences - #PyData 2023 and #JuliaCon 2023 at Eindhoven, where RSE Abel Sores Siqueira gave a talk about #Nonlinear #Optimization with the Julia Smooth Optimizers packages. There were many talks, from cutting-edge data analysis techniques to #MachineLearning applications!
Check out an introduction to Abel's speech here:

Alternative video editors | FLOWBLADE
Flowblade is a work in progress multitrack non-linear video editor for Linux released under GPL3 license.
* Full track compositing
* Smooth keyframe interpolations
* GPU rendering
* UX papercuts
* Drag 'n drop clips / timeline
* etc.
Flowblade's starting to be an impressive libre choice for video editing needs!

On my way to Perth today for the Trilateral meeting on #nonlinear #PDEs …
@dweinberger Here you go David ... the #nonlinear / #complexity dynamics of marriage. Unfortunately, you can't get away from the #Mathematics
https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262572309/the-mathematics-of-marriage/
For those interested, here is the poster for the #trilateral meeting on #nonlinear #PDEs in January 2023, in Perth, Western Australia
I’ll be in #Perth for the trilateral meeting on #nonlinear #PDEs in January, 2023. Anyone else going to be there?
#Nonlinear #introduction: I'm working on a manuscript with a goal of 100 words (or 2 figures) per day, so my mind is in writing mode this week. I'm also learning #mastodon interface & #hachyderm community. I usually do socials via phone, but admin & long-form writing at laptop (#thinkpad keyboard how I love thee). Also relevant: as a kid, my family moved repeatedly. So here I am on a Fri night deciding who I want to be in this new place and how best to start. With a keyboard. 1/N
For those who may be interested: The #summerSchool 'Phase-field models for the evolution of #complexSystems'
is goint to tak place in Payresq (southern France) from sept 5 to 16, 2022.
https://pmc.polytechnique.fr/~mp/PFschool2022.html
The phase-field method is a compact tool for numerical modelling of problems that involve moving boundaries. It has been applied to microstructure evolution in materials (solidification, precipitation, grain growth), multi-phase flows (fingering, (...)
