Classical #physics is an active research area, is fundamental, and is still full of interesting and even controversial problems. Does your physics professor understand how airplanes fly? Good chance the answer is “no”.

The never-ending conundrums of classical physics
Even today, scientists still try to solve sprinkler brain teasers from the 19th century.

Big fan of the Journal of Open Source Software! It's awesome that the whole review process occurs publicly on GitHub 😊
JOSS has now published more than 3,000 articles, and I've personally edited 60 of them (still editing +5). Being a part of JOSS has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life.

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.

Wanna learn about autodiff and sparsity? Check out our #ICLR2025 blog post with @adrhill.bsky.social and Alexis Montoison. It has everything you need: matrices with lots of zeros, weird compiler tricks, graph coloring techniques, and a bunch of pretty pics!

Just gave a two-day #JuiaLang workshop, and the fastest and the most improved code (after some performance tips) won a mug. People can get really competitive when you put a leaderboard on screen😜.
