I don't know if it is possible to do an "on-topic" research stream. The very point of literature review is to bounce between a bunch of disparate concepts to create new ideas.

When you are working on an experiment, well, it's a bit dry unless you talk about a bunch of related concepts as well.

I like typos. We live in a society that has a constant need to auto-correct or polish their texts, but I don't even use spell-checker half the time.

It doesn't matter if it's an email or a private message. I want to hear your thoughts, not the thoughts some AI thought I would like

By the time vulkan shaders are done processing, I have lost any enthusiasm I might have had to play the game to begin with.

Stop. Just stop. There is no situation where I want an AI to write for me.

This is on my youtube community tab, by the way. If you are getting a bunch of quick reactions from your favorite youtubers, they might be using this feature.

Everyone talks about AI like it's a world-ending threat, but it's mid at best.

Is `import numpy as np` also affected by tariffs?

A big new release of Molly.jl just dropped.

Including improved performance, especially on GPU (from Giuseppe Gambini), and support for other GPU backends (from @leioslabs.bsky.social).

Yup, this is it. My absolute worst fear realized.

Every technological development in history has been the result of research. It has been the backbone of the US economy for ~75 years.

This is the type of thing that will truly break the US.
White House Budget Office Orders Pause in All Federal Loans and Grants
The full extent of the order was not immediately clear, but the directive sent to government agencies on Monday threatened to paralyze a vast swath of federal programs.

I did it. I talked about politics on stream. I do not intend to make a habit of it, but here is one researcher's rambly opinions about Trump: www.youtube.com/live/G9bXl-k...

The US has been "on top for so long" because we have been taking the best and brightest people from around the world to do research.

If we cut fundamental research, we are destroying the foundation of the US economy.

Every now and again, I get a comment from some random person on Reddit who found my old writingprompt responses and wants to read more.

I then spend hours just tip-tapping away at my keyboard, writing a novel for some random stranger that will likely never see the final product.

Need #GPU help on a #research project?

Let me know. If it's interesting enough, I might pick it up for LeiosLabs in 2025.

I'll be discussing whether it is actually worthwhile to pursue a #PhD tomorrow: www.youtube.com/live/nT6tsC1...

Your research is only as good as your ability to communicate that research.

I gotta be honest, this app is really refreshing.

Can I just rant about this paper really quick: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It tries to claim that AI poetry is both "indistinguishable" and "rated more favorably" than human poetry, but it's methodology is... sus at best.

Let's talk.
