Or can we sum more accurately by taking the stable_mean and multiplying by n?

1. The 400 is faster than the 4 OOTB, and can be overclocked easily. 2. The 400 runs much cooler. 3. 4GB is plenty ;)

Looks like things started to get _much_ better after Virgo joined. I assume that is because of the increased "baseline" (angular resolution) and because two different instruments at different locations makes it easier to detect & reject spurious signals.

You want "to use mature distro, with thousands of packages, with known bugs fixed, with fresh software, like Fedora." on an embedded system. Really?

TinyCC example in README is wrong, should have trailing '-': as in "cat pcg_basic.c pcg32-demo.c | tcc -run -"

You could get arbitrarily large improvements by starting with even worse code ;)

m4r35n357 — Fri, 11 Sep 2020 13:07:58 +0000

OK fair enough, to me the opposition to the weak AP just seems to be people "unhappy" that a physical constant should need to be that precise.

In other words, for some reason they expect the universe to be more "understandable" or "sensible" than this . . .

Of course the strong AP is ludicrous in the extreme ;)

m4r35n357 — Fri, 11 Sep 2020 12:40:52 +0000

Isn't this just a form of "survivor bias"? I don't get why anthropic arguments are considered "weak".

The article seems to just be complaining that anthropic arguments cannot explain the precise _value_ of the fine structure constant. Well, nor can Occam's Razor, but we don't seem to have a problem quoting that!
