I had an idea and some very smart people follow me, so I want someone to tell me why this won’t work:
N body gravitational simulation is hard because of the scaling problem.
So, whenever I’ve built gravity simulation in the past, I’ve used a quadtree and only had bodies in a small search window affect one another. This is, as I understand it, a very common implementation.
But…
What if you used graph theory to establish a more coarse-grained quadtree based on local cliques? Every body could then apply the (theoretically much smaller number of) forces from all of the cliques scaled by their clique’s distance.
Does that work? Is there some obvious overhead I’m not thinking of?
I know it wouldn’t be _perfectly_ accurate… but it _feels_ like it’d be close, at least if you look at the system in aggregate?
Another quiet afternoon.

Les occidentaux en soutien militaire à l'Ukraine pour une paix encore hypothétique • FRANCE 24
Le président russe Vladimir Poutine a menacé vendredi les alliés de Kiev de cibler toute force occidentale déployée en Ukraine, au lendemain d'une réunion à Paris consacrée aux garanties de sécurité dans le cadre d'un hypothétique cessez-le-feu. Décryptage avec notre invité, Claude Blanchemaison, ancien ambassadeur de France en Russie entre 2000 et 2003.

Tag des offenen Rechenzentrums am 7. November 2025
Wer ein Rechenzentrum von innen sehen will, sollte sich den 7.11.2025 vormerken. 2024 waren 26 Rechenzentren in 16 deutschen Städten dabei.

Dass in den Rechenzentren allerdings, wie als Titelbild für den Heise-Artikel verwendet, eine #Zuse Z22 oder Z23 steht, ist eher nicht zu erwarten... die sieht mal eher z.B. am 25. Oktober bei der langen Nacht der Wissenschaften bei der ISER an der #FAU in #Erlangen (mit etwas Glück auch im Betrieb).

Zach lived off berries during the Winter. He had enough foresight to know he wasn't going to get out of the mountains any time soon because of two broken legs. No one was looking for him. It wasn't unusual for him to hike for several months at a time and eat off what he found growing wild. This Winter had been mild and there were a lot of animals out that normally wouldn't be mobile...

Kindly explaining to a coworker, who's complaining about another coworker who's out sick again:
Some people have chronic illnesses.
Yes, young people too.
It's not fun for them either.

@DrSuzanne The real fun is all the people who try to find that quick fix for you, using that dreaded preface "But if you just . . ."
I've been told that all I need to do is "just" consume more antioxidants, go vegan, avoid nightshade veggies, try gin-soaked raisins, go macrobiotic, etc. etc. People seem very uncomfortable with the chronic part, and especially the fact that it only gets worse, not better, for most of us. We must be doing something wrong, in their eyes. It's nothing I did or did not do that led me here. Autoimmune disease and chronic illnesses run in my family, and have done so for generations. All it needed to kick off was a spark, a virus in my case: severely reactivated Epstein Barr.
I hope that people who are perfectly healthy have some idea of how golden that is.
Plus one for me. Completely agree. I’m sorry you have to experience that in addition to your health challenges.
I experience chronic migraines, and it’s amazing how many people seem to know more about migraine “cures” than the highly specialized care I’ve been receiving from my neurologist over the years. 🤷♀️
I was so horrified when my toddler was in my shopping cart and women would stop me in Whole Foods. (This was when there was only one Whole Foods... in Austin, Texas) .They would say your child is squinting. You should give him vitamin A pills. Little did I know that was just the beginning. He has a rare retinal disorder. AND vitamin is not always a good idea!
Exactly.... 10 years later, I was dealing with the well meaning saying weird things about children with fatal food allergies, sigh.
I know this example is less serious than allergy-denying, but I once had a boss who said that mosquito bites are psychological.
Wait, you mean all this time? I could've had a boss who helped me get over my totally legit fear of tickborne diseases.??
Yes, that's exactly what a big name medical expert said in cover article for consumer reports a few years ago..... He said there's more information coming about ticks from the research and it's all bad but no worries. Just remember it's all imaginary.
And I think if you were in america now you could be the head of all health decisions.
@sunumbral ha ha ha! This is the best response!
The oddest thing? Weird off-label stuff like the treatment for malaria, can actually help.

Some of them won’t understand it then either, see: my mother.
She has an autoimmune disorder which is currently in remission, but has absolutely no grace for my father, who’s dealing with the early stages of dementia and back issues or me, who has a different autoimmune disorder.
“I pushed through it and I’m fine.” For now.
Also this is very nicely explained 🩷
Thank you 🩷
