I'll try to make it short for you brainlets.

Historic data records undergo periodical revisions, new versions come out, which hopefully are better than the old ones. You discover new instrument issues and are able to better correct for them, you discover new methods of flagging bad data etc. It's nothing new, it's been done since fucking forever, and it's not limited to temperature measurements - every single satellite product you can find undergoes this process.

Tabloids and shitty blogs call it a conspiracy and seek proof by pointing out where data is adjusted in a way that it fits their respective narrative, while ignoring all adjustments made to the data that contradicts their poor theory.

It's a non-story.

>>8652226
This will give the best explanation:
https://arstechnica.com/science/2016/01/thorough-not-thoroughly-fabricated-the-truth-about-global-temperature-data/
The simplest example of 'correcting measurements' in the article above is where you subtract the tare weight from a mass you're measuring, so you're measuring the mass of a substance, and not the mass of the substance and container together.
The logic behind the temperature measurement corrections is the same, but it's a little harder to explain with statistical models, because in a statistical model we have a known input and a known output, and we have to come up with some model that will map the input to the output, and also work for future inputs. One way of doing this is by 'holding' some input/output data, building a model on the remaining data, and testing it on the held data, then repeating several times so you know your model works for different kinds of 'unseen' data.

If 1 mole of CO2 dissociates in blood to 1 mole of H+ and 1 mole of HCO3-, why does a change of CO2 partial pressure cause acidosis or alkalosis? Why doesn't the bicarbonate just buffer the hydrogen?

Alveolar hypoventilation gives an increased PaCO2, which in turn decreases the HCO3–/PaCO2 ratio, thereby decreasing the pH. I assume the ratio doesn't provide neutrlisation quickly enough. Not sure tho

I came across category named Mat whose objects are natural numbers and hom(m,n) is the set of real (m x n) matrices, id(n) n -> n is the unit diagonal (n x n) matrix and composition of matrices is defined as matrix multiplication.

How is this category if we defined hom(m,n) to be morphism from m to n (where m and n are objects of category) in the way that image must be object of Mat?

>image must be object
The arrows don't even have to be functions and the notion of image doesn't appear in the definition of a category. The object n is, by definition, what you may call codomain (target) of each arrow in hom(m,n).

an arrow f in hom(m,n) and an arrow g in hom(n,k) can be composed (f and g are matrices and the composition is matrix multiplication). The objects (integers in this case) don't have do be codomains of functions. In fact, there are axiomatizations of the notion of Category that avoid object altogether (you can come up with axioms that drop them, because the class of objects is always in bijection with the class of identity arrows in a category)

Categories that can be viewed as classes of sets with functions as arrows ... those are called "concrete categories"

I see your point, but how am I supposed to understand pic related definition "morphism A to B"? Am i "escaping" category of natural numbers via hom(m,n) in Mat or are there two types of objects in Mat (numbers and matrices)?

>Objects don't have to be codomains of functions
you mean: of morphisms?

Will this thing become clearer later, or should I fully understand it at the very beginning of category theory?
>>
>>8652140
a category has two sorts: objects and arrows. There's nothing that says that the objects and arrows need to be similarly constructed (whatever that would mean), just that they need to satisfy the category axioms.

In this example, it might help to think about the objects being R^0, R^1, R^2, etc. and the arrows being linear maps between them. Then we're just abstracting out the fact that each R^n is a concrete space, and instead associate each with its dimension (n).

I bet you weren't even a NEET, you're just a big fat phony.

Hello /sci/, /x/ here.
I am beginner chaos mage.
And I tried to alter my consciousness with the mirror method. Dont take me for words in this sentence, in occult we use many stuff to explain consciousness etc.
Lets say consciousness is perceiving reality in this case.
So I stared at my own eyes in the mirror, and it worked.
My own image started to deform my eyes were jumping on my face and my hair disappeared and appeared.
Can you explain this in scientific terms ? What was my brain doing, and WHY ?
Also the more my consciousness was altered the harder it was to concentrate, my thoughts were jumping everywhere.

The answer is quite simple, you're nuts
>>
Next time try the two glass method
>>
Basically your eyes are programmed to constantly move around and scan the area. Your brain is adapted to this system so when you fight saccades you halucinate, but as it says on the wiki page when saccades begin you cant stop them, that's why your thoughts would race, because you could no longer control a physiological system which you were focusing pretty strongly on.

I cant find the article that describes this but i didn't look very hard.
