- What a wonderful article. My stress has been drowning my joy in something I once found fulfilling. While reading this, I suddenly remembered it. Thank you.
- You probably mean that the size of the matrix is incompatible with the size of the vector?
- :\ just finished applying for an NSF grant. I've got to look into other sources of funding.
- I've found (good) review papers invaluable as an academic. They're really useful as a fast ladder to getting up to speed in a new area. Usually they have a great literature review (with the important papers to read afterward), a curated list of results important to understand, and good intuition about how to reason. It's a compactification of what I would have to otherwise gain by working in an area for years. No replacement for it, of course, but does make it easier attain.
I don't understand the appeal of an (majorly-)LLM generated review paper. A good review paper is a hard task to write well, and frankly the only good ones I've read have come from authors who are at apex of their field (and are, in particular, strong writers). The 'lossy search' of an LLM is probably an outstanding tool for _refining_ a review paper, but for fully generating it? At least not with current LLMs.
- Pretty cool test, but I wonder how fast you ran them at? I was able to distinguish between full and half after increasing the speed to around ~2000 units.
- Do you have any opinions on ergoKB? I've begun to notice some pain, not in my wrists, but in my upper forearms and am thinking about something to fix that.
- I thought it was funny :/
Surely not warranting a response like this.
- I don't think it's that crazy. Hyprland has, for a long time, looked really lovely when configured. But most don't want to configure it, the linux ricing community is really small in proportion to even the people who want to install Linux. Omarchy is dead-simple to install, has good documentation, decent opinions[1], and has huge influence because of DHH himself. I stopped running it myself after while, in favor of configuring my own Hyprland install, but it's an easily accessible shiny new thing by someone with a big following. Seems reasonable to me that people like it.
[1]: I don't agree with all of them, e.g. the chatbot shortcuts. But they're trivial to disable and/or redirect and, indeed, the project does a good job of trying not to mess with your changes.
- As an owner of the original FW16, I'm really happy with this update! I hope that there's some news on an external case for old mainboards.
- Thanks, I was scouring the article looking for the original study, could not believe that they didn't have it linked.
- I actually really liked seeing the mascot. Brought a sense of whimsy to the Internet that I've missed for a long time.
- ???

I do not dispute that HN is an echo chamber. But how did you come to your conclusions?
- For anyone else curious, they actually have a deep dive on the subject. You can also replace it with another since it's just flexATX, albeit with some requirements.

- Not sure if they've fixed between then and now, but I just had it working locally on Fedora.
> g++ --version g++ (GCC) 15.1.1 20250521 (Red Hat 15.1.1-2) Copyright (C) 2025 Free Software Foundation, Inc. - Thanks for the reference, that looks incredible.
- This is pretty great. Passing python code out to my students is usually also confronted with the question of "How do I run it?", which is usually terrible to answer. Now, I can just tell them to get uv (single command) and run it.
- Loved the talk, but as I'm a mathematician myself this probably qualifies as preaching to the choir =) .
Looking forward to whenever the Ryan Fleury BSC talk gets published!
- I doubt it, since I saw it on my firefox+linux machine. Perhaps hardware? I was using AMD CPU + graphics.
- I hope they manage to do something similar for the NSF. The proposed cuts there are crushing. The NSF funds great science in all parts of the country, and subsequently tons of jobs to the area.
Sometimes a lighthearted piece is all you need to remember to release. What's the saying? "The sea of bitterness is vast. Turn back, and you may yet see shore." I still love what I do, even if it got tougher than expected for a moment.
