I’m glad to hear your experience has been different and that you’re happy with the interactions you’re getting! 2024-12-29T17:40:48Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsp873gc3902tt0hfzh3ukr5xge84ykm274gweaaxgpykwvep330nszyre8j0fmfp7wvthn3peldpvwztl9l8j34l2j57kk2h63xjd95w6dxhw089u In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstedfrf0gyxdrv90xqcpgl6fxec84wmly6ew7tqt8syerhat8antgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qqazl3v'>nevent1q…zl3v</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqnpyca9pu08cctq2sxtvkt0uzv9j8ah607a5u7ndwge40f0g2a7dskjqndz" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqnpyca9pu08cctq2sxtvkt0uzv9j8ah607a5u7ndwge40f0g2a7dskjqndz</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…qndz</span>)</a></span> Vielen Dank! 2024-12-18T12:33:18Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs9k7mhrar5802lag3c2dtutww4yucunjdd08prv4sffa4e4lz0p3gzyre8j0fmfp7wvthn3peldpvwztl9l8j34l2j57kk2h63xjd95w6dx9plwqt Mastodon #research 🚀<br/><br/>I’m working on my master’s thesis at the University of Vienna, and I’d love your input!

What do you think is causing this decline?

Why? Because after some trial and error my computational results change noticeably at this threshold! Have you observed something similar? Or how would you define small vs large instances? 💜<br/><br/>#mastodon #university #fediverse 2024-12-11T10:47:53Z
