Author reputation and citation patterns provide plenty(?) of signal without journal/reviewer/editor endorsement. But you could still imagine introducing “badges” that provide simil…

at this stage I get very few false positives and it's so much easier to configure and use than pyright

astral bags another one

Most scientific "products" are not bound books or pdf. The software, datasets, proofs, algorithms, etc contained within them (or in the dreaded "replication materials") are usually…

I don't understand why this framework has become so popular. You can't instantiate or program around `FlowSpec`s. The type safety is terrible (you're supposed to just haphazardly a…

numpyro is an underrated library that runs on jax which makes it easy to put on the gpu. They have a nice suite of examples. https://github.com/pyro-ppl/numpyro
