Models are terrible with Julia

A reminder for folks in financial need: many PhD applications have application fee waivers, those waivers are not super onerous, and they are usually granted (at least at the two schools I'm familiar with). Please take advantage of them.

Has anyone come up with something like this for physics

Thank you so much to whoever put this very comprehensive list of #science Bsky starter packs together. This is just amazing: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Hello world #Bluesky Check out our new preprint "Mirages in the Energy Landscape of Soft Sphere Packings" www.arxiv.org/abs/2409.12113 and the #skyprint by Mathias below Heroic numerical work by @praharsh.bsky.social and @quasiulysse.bsky.social

Next up: for a change of scenery, let's look at energy landscapes! We showed that numerical commonly used to study the location, energy, and entropic bias of minima in jammed soft spheres completely destroy the geometry of the landscape, and provide an alternative. arxiv.org/abs/2409.121...

Thermodynamics is probability and statistics in log space
