Human decision making in computer optimization yields hot plasma in alt-fusion.

More specifically, this blog post is about minimising a special case of a logistic function given some equality constraints (i.e. the solution must be positive and within certain bounds). This post will probably be a bit rough and ready because I'm mostly…

Numerous science and engineering applications require finding the lowest or highest value of a mathematical model. This is usually obtained computationally by running an optimisation algorithm. When working ...

Earlier in the year I had to reset the observation hive and sadly that process resulted in the death of a fair few bees who ended up on the ground. Now, I knew that there were large carnivorous bul…
