Are you me? I've been slowly getting into alpinism in the Sierras and looking into getting my p2 cert. (I'd love to combine the two...imagine climbing in the palisades then paragliding or base jumping off ) I regrettably spent my

oh damn...you also need a big red button to kick things into turbo/overdrive for the serious hacking

what was the merge code process like?

i agree; universe was a little too bleak, which was trendy at the time. we need something campy and fun.

Phil, These are great! Thank you!

it's not such a crazy idea. as a not-so-scientific back-of-the-envelope: assume a poissonian mutation rate and a genome length; how long till a measurable taxonomic difference?

Adding to the authors point; I think there's quite a bit of innovation through maintenance. Reducing the tech debt in existing infrastructure eg. education, transport, etc I have a gut feeling that societal cohesiveness is somehow lost

I agree especially from the authentication side of things.

Universities take a cut (30 - 50%) of grant money brought in by profs. The incentive structure for good science is broken. Academia is a racket.

yup, i noticed that when i saw the first commits; in fact i thought it was someone's pet project. however, when i read that first odenet paper, it's clear keeping track of the gradients is extremely useful. I'm very familiar

funny enough I'm doing the exact same thing in public sector education. I'm always curious where people in our field end-up. i saw some of your other comments about being at google. did you touch jax-md at all? https://

yup, we used PME for non-bonded calculations in our simulations and to calculate things like electric potentials. I finished a biophysics phd back in 2020 and focused mainly on fluid flow. Pretty cool, what're you up to now?

why? i think it's the coolest thing ever. anyone can write a contract to automate taking out a loan, investing it, and pulling out the money, develop exotic securities, and bespoke arbitration. anyone can do it regardless of credential

p3m, well pme, is exactly what we used for our calculations ;) i never did any qm work beyond basic parameterization i'm guessing you are/were also computational physics guy :)

I'd imagine creating uniform and robust ball-bearings is not an easy feat.

I noticed my colleagues that started the PhD with industry experience were often more focused with their goals.

Do it...you can easily switch back to industry if you're not enjoying the phd. It'll be an opportunity to hang out with a whole set of new people.

that's a great way to relax away from screens. my go-to is tequila ocho's añejo. it's aged in whiskey barrels so perhaps you may enjoy it.

i like having a drink and doing mechanical coding or math. put on a good record, pour some choice tequila, and grind away. :)

this article misses the forest for the trees. it's the early days for smart contracts and applications like defi once the barrier of entry drops in contract creation i suspect there will be exponential growth in exotic securities/
