   I've worked for a year in a lab doing cancer genomics and had to learn everything from scratch, since my background is in computer science. It's definitely possible to learn enough to be productive within a few months, but to actu

   I have AkademikerPension as my pension fund through work and this move suits me quite well. They've already excluded Tesla as well as a variety of companies that profit of weapon production, fossil fuel production or are suspected for

   I work with genomics pipelines in my day job. This repo does not seem quite ready for serious usage until a comparison is made with existing tools such as Bowtie 2/samtools/Strelka or similar. For cancer genomes, it's also

   While it seems cool, I am still waiting for native Jupyter Notebook support for it to be useful to me. When that happens, I'll give it a spin, but it seems like they recently took it off the roadmap.

   I've read through most of the first paper mentioned. Here, the authors have taken set up two synthetic experiments where transformers have to learn the probability of observing events from a sampled from a "ground truth" Baye

   uv has made working with different python versions and environments much, much nicer for me. Most of my colleagues in computational genomics use conda, but I've yet to encounter a scenario where I've been unable to just use uv ins

   I took a course on massively parallel programming taught by one of the authors of this paper that extensively used Futhark and CUDA. While I have not used any of these languages since, I have used JAX[1] quite a lot, where the learnings fro

   The course did not use slides but instead wrote everything on a whiteboard. The lecture notes are not public afaik. The lecturer did suggest the following supplementary material: - Michael Huth and Mark Ryan. Logic in Computer Science: Mode

    Slightly OT: I'm a master's student in computer science who focuses mostly on machine learning. Still, the best course I've ever taken was one on semantics and types, presenting many of the ideas in this article. Learning pr

    While I can accept the notion that we should reject Toyota, I don't really see how Lean is related to it. Is Lean the cause of Toyotas failure to protect its workers? How can we know that the misfortunes of the actual TPS also applies
