About rossant

I'm Cyrille Rossant, a neuroscience researcher and software engineer at the International Brain Laboratory and University College London.

I'm interested in mathematics, scientific computing, data visualization, computer graphics, GPU programming, web applications, AI. I wrote several books on Python for scientific computing.

After a sudden personal event, I decided to devote a large portion of my research activities to the shaken baby syndrome controversy: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37650402

    What if my prose is AI-assisted, but it's the result of hours of conversations with an agent, with constant back-and-forth, dozens of iterative rewrites, and refinement until the s…

    This is talking to an AI colleague and not to a chatbot. That's how you use frontier models or coding agents nowadays to do good work.

    I don't write code anymore, because AI writes better code than me. I could write code, but the next AI would find 10 ways to make it better and more consistent with the rest of the…

    That, and also the very long comma-separated lists with sometimes 10+ items.

    Looking at him I can't believe he's 100. I haven't seen that many centenaries that look that fit.

    I can totally relate. I often listen to instrumental music while I work. Lately I've listened to music with lyrics and I have a slightly harder time reading, writing and thinking. …

    I was curious why AI wasn't mentioned. Then I noticed the date: 2009.
