Despite what the trending hashtags say.

Mieliśmy dziś o 3 nad ranem płynąć promem z BodŸ do Moskenes - skrócić sobie trasę lądową o jakieś 6h jazdy. Okazało się niestety, że przewóz psa tylko w klatce albo w zamkniętym garażu pod pokładem w samochodzie. Ani możliwości wykupienia kabiny, ani zabrania psa nawet na deck.

Zostanie samemu w aucie jest oczywiście zbyt niebezpieczne, ale pies to towar wiec luz. Całe lata socjalizacji by poszły w piz... Ehh, pod tym względem Włochy to był raj dla podróży z psem - zero problemów, wysta…

PSA: We had some image loading issues since yesterday on datasci.social, soon to be resolved by itself. Thx for understanding.
Reason: Due to migrating to a more stable provider: An additional cache for images was added that also stores the data in an efficient manner, but due to the large initial load some of its requests are timing out to the backend. We are increasing the timeouts, and also manually pushing data into it so it has data before the initial request.

Puh. #HomeAssistant wirft native Installationen und 32Bit-Systeme (incl. ARM) ausm Support. Sehr schade. Jetzt geht nur noch VM oder Container, also noch mehr Abstraktion und Rumpaketiere zwischen HA und dem System, was kaputt gehen kann. Alles sehr unschön, da HAOS viele Geräte nicht sauber unterstützt und Container viele Einschränkungen bei Netzwerk und Sicherheit hat. :/

Improving population size adapting CMA-ES algorithm on step-size blow-up in weakly-structured multimodal functions
Multimodal optimization requires both exploration and exploitation. Exploration identifies promising attraction basins, while exploitation finds the best solutions within these basins. The balance between exploration and exploitation can be maintained by adjusting parameter settings. The population size adaptation covariance matrix adaption evolutionary strategy algorithm (PSA-CMA-ES) achieves this balance by dynamically adjusting population size. PSA-CMA-ES performs well on well-structured mul…

PSA:
If you don't drink all your beer on Friday and take up so much space in the shared refrigerator (6 large cans, 6 bottles) that I can't put my lunch in there, you might have to search for your alcohol elsewhere. Far away. In a warm place.
But I left a note where to find it.
Hey, you didn't label it, I would have been in my rights to drink it or pour it down the drain.
