Well. Getting Tomcat 9 running on an ultra-cheap Amazon EC2 instance (with Amazon's very own ARM chip) running Ubutuntu 24 and accessible from my home PC when you barely know wtf you're doing might not sound like much of an achievement, but it is for me, and here I am, patting myself on the back.

:)

The problem of building neural surrogates #sciml for real-world industrial problems is not a problem of choosing neural network architectures, it's a problem of gathering the right training data from the model you're seeking to emulate. We demonstrate this on a turbofan jet engine, achieving 0.1% relative error through an active learning process. This is one of the demonstrations from #scitech showcasing the advancements of industrialization of #SciML

emacs org-mode todo list priority (urgency) hack

Might as well brag about this, since I’m inordinately proud (I become an #elisp hacker about once every two or three years). I love #emacs #org-mode, but I don’t love what it does with todo entries (highest-priority, longest-scheduled first). For me, if something’s been at priority A for 280 days, it’s not that high-priority (but still higher than anything at priority B). I want highest-priority, most-recently-scheduled first, in the time-honored tradition of ignoring things in the hope they’ll go away.

Here it is.

(defun my-org-agenda-todo-sort (a b)  "Function should only sort TODO items; since I can't return ``unsortable'' for things that don't compare, I justreturn 0 and hope for the best.  Seems to be working so far.  Higher-priority and more-recently-scheduled itemshave higher urgency."   (if (string-match "\\(Sched\\.\\s-*\\([0-9]+\\)x\\|Scheduled\\):\\s-+\\S-+ \\[#\\([ABC]\\)\\]" a)      (let ((a-sched-days (string-to-number (if (null (match-string 2 a)) "0" (match-string 2 a))))            (a-priority (match-string 3 a)))        (if (string-match "\\(Sched\\.\\s-*\\([0-9]+\\)x\\|Scheduled\\):\\s-+\\S-+ \\[#\\([ABC]\\)\\]" b)            (let ((b-sched-days (string-to-number (if (null (match-string 2 b)) "0" (match-string 2 b))))                  (b-priority (match-string 3 b)))                                        ;(message "Agenda item a of type %s: %s" (type-of a) a)                                        ;(message "Agenda item b of type %s: %s" (type-of b) b)                                        ;(message "a-priority: %s; b-priority: %s; a-sched-days: %s; b-sched-days: %s"                                        ;         a-priority b-priority a-sched-days b-sched-days)              (cond ((string< a-priority b-priority) 1)                    ((string> a-priority b-priority) -1)                    (t (cond ((< a-sched-days b-sched-days) 1)                             ((> a-sched-days b-sched-days) -1)                             (t 0)))))          0          )        )    0    )  )(setq org-agenda-cmp-user-defined 'my-org-agenda-todo-sort)(setq org-agenda-sorting-strategy '((agenda habit-down time-up user-defined-down category-keep)                                    (todo urgency-down category-keep)                                    (tags urgency-down category-keep)                                    (search category-keep)))

Studying breakdowns in sci/tech institutions during #covid19 ? or how about systematic undermining of scientific institutions as democracies veer to extremes? We want to know what you're finding!

@zephoria and I are excited to host a wider conversation about institutional breakdown, organizational failure, crisis and collapse and implications for Science & Technology.

#sts #orgs & #scitech scholars warmly welcome! Check out P358 on this page of awesome panels:

Last #undersea #Internet #cable connecting #Vietnam with the world breaks down | #SciTech | Vietnam+ (#VietnamPlus)

"The #SMW3 cable, the last fully functional Internet cable of Vietnam, has encountered a problem on its S2.7 segment that connects with #Singapore, an Internet service provider in the country said on February 21.
This means all the five undersea cables connecting Vietnam with the world have been partly or wholly affected."
