MHD Debugging I spent some more time bug hunting and found that the instability only shows up when a number is not exactly expressible in binary. After discussin this with Evan they pointed out tha...

MHD Debugging My implementation of constrained transport was complicated and hard to maintain so I refactored the main loop. Primarily I just unrolled the innermost loop over the x,y,z directions. ...

MHD Debugging I spent this week comparing my code to Athena++. Throughout that process I fixed a sign error in the CT equation, turns out they should all be plusses with no minuses. I also fixed a...

Astronomical Techniques I was working a lot on the project this week. I wrote the final report, made a lot of different figures, prepared my presentation on it, and presented it. Not super exciting...

Astronomical Techniques This week in class we discussed maximum likelihood, regression, and information criteria. I was working a lot on the project this week. I implemented dimensionality reducti...

Astronomical Techniques This week in class we discussed non-parametric tests like the U test. I was working a lot on the project this week. I spent about a day reading up on MCMC techniques and ti...

Astronomical Techniques In class over the last two weeks we’ve discussed basics of machine learning and non-parametric tests. We also started our class projects in earnest. My part so far has been...

General This week I needed a break from debugging so I worked on a bunch of miscellaneous tasks that have been on the backburner for awhile; the university also had a 1 day break I also had some ex...

Astronomical Techniques More discussion of error propagation. Started planning class projects and discussed hypothesis testing. Numerical MHD Still working on bug hunting. I tested a bunch of di...

Astronomical Techniques We had an in depth study of bootstrap methods and implemented a simple one. Also, started discussing error types and propagation. Numerical MHD Still working on debugging m...
