If, like me, you're not a real mathematician but suffered through linear algebra and differential equations, you can still totally understand this stuff! I started off teaching myself differential geometry but ultimately had far more s

Is there anything like this for more commodity arm cores (neoverse v2) or do we think the insights from apple silicon cores will generalize well to those other ARM architectures?

I am somewhat rusty on my undergrad quantum, but I'm not entirely sure I agree with this analysis. Could you perhaps explain it more clearly in baa-ket notation?

Author of that paper here -- What an incredibly nice comment to wake up to at 3am, thank you! This paper made me quit neuro and switch to systems that are easier to model (small molecules) which it turns out are still annoyingly difficult!

This is an incredible post, and thank you for the mission critical work that you do. I'm always curious what other people's work lives are like -- can you talk a little bit about your job, the tasks you're working on today, a

Many existing version control tools help with this, but there are some challenges that crop up when doing this with jupyter notebooks: 1. Versioning notebooks in a semantically-useful way is difficult: think of it more like versioning binar

This is OT but can you share a little bit more about what it's like living in East Idaho? I grew up in Boise and now live in Chicago but with the way things have been going lately I've been considering moving back, and there'

I desperately hope this is the case, but a quick google couldn't find a link. Do you happen to have a citation that you'd recommend? I say this as someone who is a bit paranoid about hand cleanliness _and_ is very tired of cracked

I don't do much neuroscience anymore but classic Golgi and Cajal drawings still move me to tears. The mystery these scientists began unlocking 100 years ago is still the biggest in all of science. For people interested in the modern v

I want to encourage people to think of sympy not just as a competitor to Mathematica but additionally as an incredibly valuable library that can be used _inside_ of other projects. Sometimes, you just want to compute an antiderivative, or y

I'm entirely willing to believe this to be the case; every paper I've written has been in LaTex and while the tooling has improved (emacs, overleaf, now even VScode's latex mode is great), there's still a learning barrie

What the hell, I just tried this and it turns out to be true. Sometimes I think I should go work for google for a year just so I could rage internally about this sort of shit. I too have a GAFYD account I've been paying for since 2009.

Comments like this always make me sad. Not just because I disagree with them (I do!) or that I think they are claiming certainty about facts in dispute (I think they are ! [1, 2] ) but because they make no mention of trade-offs. We can vehe
