If I were a bit more marketing savvy, I’d rebrand this as a J-space method.

A 'side project' of mine just got published in ChemTexts! (linked in last post) 1/3 I always really loved etymology and figuring out where certain words come from. The names of chemical elements are particularly interesting, as meaning, phonetics and societal stuff gets mashed together.

These shipped fast!

Update: this guy has been revived as a ~stateless NixOS machine with impermanence wipes on every boot. It has a scoped GitHub access token for my bot-account "Bdrian" and I ssh into it to --dangerously-skip-permissions.

I hope I win the ICML 2026 Best Reviewer of All Time award

Fantastic talk by @npreining.bsky.social and a great look behind the scenes of the arXiv!

Gotta love goodreads

Throwback to my first macBook in 2018

chardet was vipeforked to MIT and I have thoughts about it. Spoiler: I like it. lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/3/5/the...

Yes, all the papers I have to review have the same honeypot. Glad I didn't flag the first one.

Wasted half a day on a prompt injection attack in one of the papers I had to review, only to find out that it was probably the conference organizers who put it there (?)

🏆Award-winning: France's Prix Science Ouverte 2025 Switching AD backends in Julia used to mean rewriting your whole codebase. @gdalle.bsky.social @adrianhill.de got fed up — and built #DI instead. News: t1p.de/58a65 @julialang.org @ecoledesponts.bsky.social #julialang @tuberlin.bsky.social

Yesterday, my puzzle book Workworkwork won the Thinky Award for the Best Pen and Paper Puzzle ( @thinkygames.com )! In celebration I added 100 free community copies of the digital (PDF) version: letibus.itch.io/www Check out more about the game / get the physical copy here: blazgracar.com/www

Claude Code vs. the editor-industrial-complex, who will come out on top?

„Making things easy breaks systems that use difficulty as signaling“ @zey.bsky.social @neuripsconf.bsky.social

Join us today from 4:30 to 7:30 PM @neuripsconf.bsky.social Hall C,D,E #1006 for our poster on SmoothDiff, a novel XAI method leveraging automatic differentiation. 🧵1/6

In San Diego for @neuripsconf.bsky.social this week, so hit me up to talk science. I'll make one of these longer announcement posts for our paper on Wednesday.

Awesome to see the French government recognize our work on open-source software! @ouvrirlascience.bsky.social

When it comes to drama, ICLR 2026 is truly the gift that keeps on giving.

If I were looking for a PhD position, I'd jump at this chance!

Working on a poster in Typst again. But this time from scratch without any package dependency. 💪

This is the eXplainable AI research channel of the machine learning group of Prof. Klaus-Robert Müller at Technische Universität Berlin @tuberlin.bsky.social & BIFOLD @bifold.berlin. Let's connect! #XAI #ExplainableAI #MechInterp #MachineLearning #Interpretability

Mastodon came through, gotta up your game mathsky 😘

Microtypography, accessibility and a range of PDF standards. Now nothing is stopping me from writing my thesis in Typst. 🥹

This might actually motivate me to follow through AoC this year! Maybe in Typst?

Turns out NLP is just vision

Curious what you can do with Typst's HTML export right now? How about write a blog? This article tells you how: blog.sillyfreak.space/2025/06/29/r...

Didn’t we use to measure this in FLOPS? www.ft.com/content/bdaf...

Kind of hilarious that functional programming's biggest hit is a package manager

Perfect timing! If you are in Paris for @juliacon.bsky.social on Friday, join us for our talk on Automatic Sparse Differentiation at 11:30. If you can't make it, check out both the paper and our introductory ICLR blog post: iclr-blogposts.github.io/2025/blog/sp...

Based on my own mediocre experiences with LLM-assisted coding, I can't help but wonder whether this explains the recent engineering issues Anthrophic was facing.

This also shows that @typst.app is already a viable alternative to LaTeX for top conferences in ML!

Our paper on XAI + Automatic Differentiation got accepted at #NeurIPS2025. Can't wait to share the camera-ready soon! 🥳

Doing XAI research in #JuliaLang

This is 100% true, including the H100 being 12.3 km away.

Is anyone cross-posting on both Bsky and Mastodon? Is it worth the effort? If so, are there tools you would recommend?

Just noticed my "Julia for Machine Learning" course got 2^8 stars on GitHub, yay! 🎉 github.com/adrhill/juli...

I’m happy to announce BonitoBook, a Jupyter alternative with a focus on plotting, customizability, dashboards and AI integration. Visit the website to learn more: bonitobook.org Or the repository: github.com/SimonDanisch...

We implemented and evaluated the ideas from our NeurIPS submission in Julia and reviewer 2 tells us that one of our strengths is that "It builds on PyTorch". 🫠 What a way to tell me you haven't read the paper before scoring it with high "confidence".

EurIPS is coming! 📣 Mark your calendar for Dec. 2-7, 2025 in Copenhagen 📅 EurIPS is a community-organized conference where you can present accepted NeurIPS 2025 papers, endorsed by @neuripsconf.bsky.social and @nordicair.bsky.social and is co-developed by @ellis.eu eurips.cc

Finally one of the cool kids with a custom handle 🦋

Luxor.jl can now add #typst text - including equations - to drawings. Useful for those with latex allergy 😉 Big thanks to Jakob Peters for his hard work! 🙏 #julialang #typst #epitrochoid

The week of September 29th, Paris will become the epicenter of #opensource scientific computing, with a great series of events. This rare alignment creates the perfect opportunity to visit and join a vibrant community of developers, maintainers, and users! Check this out (links in thread) ⬇️

I had to endure some teasing from my collaborators for choosing to write our NeurIPS submission in @typst.app – looks like I have one more reason to believe I made the right call... 😅

How to make #autodiff user-friendly? What lies beyond the safety of Python-world? Why does it matter for scientific machine learning? All this, and more, in our latest preprint with @adrhill.bsky.social! Spoiler alert: it describes the most useful software I ever wrote. arxiv.org/abs/2505.05542

Today is a good day, dyed a shirt and made it the front page of HN 🥹

I wrote something up for AI people who want to get into bluesky and either couldn't assemble an exciting feed or gave up doomscrolling when their Following feed switched to talking politics 24/7.
