I've gotten in this habit of building all software to be #deterministic. And I mean ALL software. ๐Ÿ˜…

Functional languages make this easier. But they still don't capture state of systems you rely on. Like time or random number generators. ๐Ÿซ  The things that truly break apart. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Abstracting non deterministic properties to calls you inject can make a world of difference. It helps then being able to evaluate why you get an error for api outside of your control. And yes time is an api. ๐Ÿ˜

Evaluating drought risk of the Red River of the North Basin using historical and stochastic streamflow upstream from Emerson, Manitoba

Drought and its effect on streamflow are important to understand because of the potential to adversely affect water supply, agricultural production, and ecological conditions. The Red River of the North Basin in north-central United States and central Canada is susceptible to dry conditions. During an extended drought, streamflow conditions in the Red River of the North may become inadequate to support existing water supply needs in the basin for agriculture, industry, human use, and aquatic life. To understand potential future low-streamflow conditions in the Red River of the North Basin, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the International Joint Commission, North Dakota Department of Water Resources, Red River Joint Water Resource District, and Red River Watershed Management Board, developed a water-balance model of the Red River of the North Basin upstream from Emerson, Manitoba, Canada, and coupled the model with stochastic weather inputs to simulate possible future low-streamflow conditions.Historical...

At the fundamental (#quantum) level, Nature is #probabilistic. Much of #computing is about modelling natural phenomena and it relies on semiconductor physics, which is inherently quantum mechanical. Yet, much of present day computing hobbles on #deterministic algorithms.๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

A new argument suggests that quantum mechanics may be more deterministic than previously thought, reigniting the debate on the relationship between physics and free will. The discussion centres around whether the indeterminacy at the quantum level leaves room for free will or if the universe is fundamentally deterministic.

Has Quantum Physics Determined Your Future?

Everything in the universe may be preordained, according to physics

i wonder if it's possible to make a video game that would teach kids the intuition behind the "butterfly effect" by making each subsequent level's initial conditions determined by the outcome of the previous level, in such a way that the gameplay would guide you towards understanding that tiny decisions made on the first level will have huge consequences on level two, etc. #chaos #butterflyEffect #chaosTheory #deterministic #systems #nonlinear #differentialEquations #bifurcation cc @JamesGleick

Crazy how much difference the right data structure / #algorithm for a task makes.

This week I learned about #Deterministic #Finite #Automata and #Nondeterministic Finite Automata just to redo my clunky #AdventOfCode2023 day 12 challenge, written in #Rust #RustLang

Runtime for part 1 dropped from 1-2secs to milliseconds. Part 2 also milliseconds ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Are there any good Rust crates for DFAs/NFAs?

Many people solved that problem with #Dynamic #Programming - something else for the learn list ๐Ÿ˜‰
