I enjoy programming as a hobby and have done it for many years. I also enjoy building stuff with LLMs. Why is one pure and sanctioned and the other one is bad? Why do I need other …

Or it’s really just plain old gate keeping maybe.

Funny this predates even the original paper first introducing the attention mechanism underpinning modern LLM.

I’ve noticed this too. I think it started around the time of the first round of big tech layoffs in the US, and when the US ratcheted up the price for H1B(?) visas. Seems like econ…

sPHENIX uses software that we’ve worked on at CERN to do some of their reconstruction!

Oh yes and so much so! Electrons are point-like (not composite like a proton) and interact only electroweakly (not strongly).

There absolutely are direct neutron experiments, but they are much lower energy and have a different focus, partly because neutrons being neutral means they’re very hard to acceler…

I get what you’re saying, but the measurements are real. In some sense they are the truth. In the article this refers to the finding that the quark is more complex than three valen…

Neutrons are just as complex, they’re much harder to study though.

Didn’t they just drastically increase the price for non US citizens? I think it almost went up by 10x

I appreciate the opinion, but that precludes it from being used in repos that are not jj-first and happen to use submodules.

I got into jujutsu recently for the mega merge workflow. The only thing I’m missing now is support for git submodules, especially when working with workspaces. This requires me to …

Is selecting text in the PDF supported? I can’t get that to work in iOS Safari.

So far whenever jujutsu came up I didn’t find its features that convincing relative to git. I have to say however that the mega merge workflow seems intriguing and might in fact be…

Exactly, I would've hoped someone could come up with a way to render markdown directly into a PDF, without roundtripping via tex and having to handhold the styling process in the w…

What always disqualifies these projects for me is the fact that they need to use a headless browser to export to PDF. PDF export is the primary feature I need from these, and it’s …

This is a fantastic analogy!

Which package do you mean? Last time I tried this it was kind of clunky.

For experiment data, there is a layer on top of all of this that distributes datasets across the computing grid. That system has a way to handle replicate at the dataset level.

Paperless-ngx is fantastic! I’ve been running it for a while and it works great! I wrote an iOS [1] app to connect to you instance and it’s open source [2]. [1] https://apps.apple.…

Doesn’t work in web views unfortunately.

iOS embedded safari doesn’t run them unfortunately. I mainly read HN from an RSS reader, whose web view always shows light mode.

Especially meat is particularly expensive in Switzerland, however, compare to most of Europe. The marketing somehow managed to cement this a meaning higher quality, and the populat…
