i love lattice :)

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 20s in academia and now I'm in tech and actually afford these hobbies. I'd love to have kids but I'm pushing it off because as you mentioned, it seems selfish.

I'm thinking about a SEA climbing holiday during the winter. I'm eyeing Vietnam. Do you have any favorite locale?

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.

indeed

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 through 'profit-driven' maintenance.

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.

zing :)

2+2=4

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 with the first paper, the second author was on my committee.

so what does a cloud migration at a biotech company mean?

is it sort of a standard orchestrator + warehouse/lakehouse + distributed compute + cicd tools stack?
