Well I, an astronomer, can obviously think of no downsides to a company promising to launch a constellation of reflective mirrors into low-Earth orbit to increase daylight for folks on the ground.

This is incredible. $30 per paper in practice. That would mean the entire arXiv would cost about $6m/year based on the 2023 usage report. RLUK puts UK payments to journals alone at about $250m www.rluk.ac.uk/strategicact... We wouldn't all be cash strapped and losing jobs if we didn't waste so much.

A Brief History of Young People Today Don't Want to Work 🧵

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

Hello Friends! I'm on the job market now! I have a oodles of knowledge for all the software performance engineering tricks in Rust, Julia and other systems languages and would love to work with teams that are looking to skill up in those respects, from back ends to big data crunching!

That was satisfying

Oh, this post from earlier today is missing the #julialang tag (because I forgot it). So if you work with Lie groups somewhere, maybe consider checking out our new package LieGroups.jl!

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

We have a new package! LieGroups.jl juliamanifolds.github.io/LieGroups.jl... provides Lie groups based in Manifolds.jl. See the full announcement at discourse.julialang.org/t/ann-liegro...

It's that time of the year again.

Renormalisation is a central concept in modern physics. It describes how the dynamics of a system change at different scales. A great way to understand and visualise renormalisation is the Ising model (some math, but one can follow without it ) 1/13

Travelling to Singapore next week for #ICLR2025 presenting this paper (Sat 3 pm nr. 538): arxiv.org/abs/2502.19611 DM me (Whova, Email or bsky) if you want to chat about (autoregressive) neural emulators/operators for PDE, autodiff, differentiable physics, numerical solvers etc. 😊

"The Story Behind Rebuilding the {tidyverse} in Julia" April 24, 2025 6:30 PM Irvine, CA www.meetup.com/socal-rug/ev... #julialang #rstats #tidyverse #pydata

Wish I could attend! The work @tidierjl.bsky.social is doing within #julialang is so 🔥 while also fantastic. Love seeing the bridging happening between the #rstats #tidyverse and the Julia community! 🤝

If I could make exciting enough plots, I would be using this package in a heartbeat! The perfect April Fools paper. Funny but useful. 🔭

The announcement of the "Julia for Machine Learning" course is my most shared skeet on old-BlueSky. Since then, the course material has been extended to include package development in #JuliaLang! 📖: github.com/adrhill/juli...

Next time someone tells you that LLMs are killing coding, remind them of this👇

This except debugging is also really hard actually if you want to do it right and requires experience with creative practice to get it right

Oliver Heaviside, who is responsible for there being just 4 Maxwell equations of electromagnetism - he reduced them from Maxwell’s 20 - couldn’t make any sense of Maxwell’s theory. So he spent years trying to re-cast it, using “vector” notation he created www.allaboutcircuits.com/news/oliver-...

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

We're disappointed to see Ben Barres's powerful book "The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist" among the ~400 titles removed from the Naval Academy Library. Needless to say, we're proud to have published his book and will keep it — and his memory — alive.

Cloe-org is getting in shape! Today we release for Euclid Consortium members our cloelib v0.7: a lighter yet more powerful jaxified library for the Cosmology Likelihood for Observables in Euclid. Life is good.

Now that Trump has scrubbed all legit climate info from US government websites and wants to convince us that climate change is good, Nature’s newest research journal — Nature Climate Denial — is the place to publish your best work on how CO₂ is plant food and more extreme weather events is good.

CmdStanR v 0.9.0 released! According to Andrew Johnson, this should make Windows installation easier plus many other improvements and bug fixes discourse.mc-stan.org/t/cmdstanr-v... #Bayesian #MCMC

Happy for this @ec-euclid.bsky.social meeting that just ended in Leiden! It was very good to catch up with friends, in particular @cosmonist.bsky.social that I couldn't see in a while...and we are cooking something, of course👀

Tidier.jl brings modern data science workflows into #julialang. Batteries included. ✅ Logging data transformations ✅ Unnesting database tables with SQL ✅ Same syntax for dataframes and databases (supporting 12 flavors of SQL) ✅ Customizable grammar of graphics for plotting …and many more features.

Congrats to @desisurvey.bsky.social - it's looking more & more like dark energy isn't Einstein's cosmological constant! If you've woken up to the news & are searching for the publications, they don't appear to be on arxiv 🤷‍♀️ but they are online. 🔭 #cosmology 🧪 ℹ️: data.desi.lbl.gov/public/paper...

🔊 New BAO analysis from the 3-year observations (DR2). Long story short, as follows. 1. DESI alone is consistent with LCDM. 👉 Boring 2. DESI and Planck have a 2.3 discrepancy in Ωm-H0rd plane. 👉Interesting.

This fall I'm organizing a conference about open-source software. Thing is, I'm tired of plenaries given by straight white dudes. Does the hive mind have *diverse* recommendations for speakers located in Europe who have interesting things to say about programming? Got some names but would love more!

TOMORROW! Stay tuned for the first round of Euclid Data Papers!!!! #space #science

About month ago we put our multiprobe paper on the arXiv! If you've ever wondered: - what happens when dynamical dark energy models are confronted with combined probes? - what a consistent multiprobe framework means for neutrino masses? Then this could be for you! arxiv.org/abs/2502.01722

🥁Paper Day! Here goes the first bispectrum analysis of the @desisurvey.bsky.social DR1 LRG and QSO data, led by my PhD student Sergi Novell at @icc-ub.bsky.social. In combination with the power spectrum multipoles we measure 150 triangle configurations corresponding to a total volume of 13.1 Gpc3

Wow, Google Colab just added Julia support!!! 🎉

Julia has joined Python and R as a native kernel in Google Colab for a complete JuPyteR experience! Now you can use Julia with a free T4 GPU and leverage packages like Reactant without complex setup. Details: github.com/googlecolab/... #JuliaLang #Colab #DataScience

Turing.jl announced they are releasing a fortnightly series of updates. First one came out last week. Updates for defining models, automatic differentiation, and sub-models. Take a read: turinglang.org/news/posts/2... Future updates are also being pushed to a github issue. #JuliaLang #Bayesian #PPL

Google may have just single-handedly revived #JuliaLang by enabling it in Colab. Instantly makes Colab one of the go-to tools for teaching Julia. github.com/googlecolab/...

This might be the greatest bug report I’ve ever seen

It seems Google Colab is ready for my Operations Research classes with using Julia... Easy Knapsack! #JuliaLang

Can I get a #julialang @juliacon.bsky.social boost for a Rust x Julia local meetup in Eindhoven? www.meetup.com/rust-nederla...

This is an attempt to criminalize free speech and suppress dissent. If we don’t take a strong stand against this, it’s the end of our democracy, and not just higher education. Universities are the trial balloon, but it doesn’t end here. Next, it will be employers, cities and towns, and individuals.
