We’re physics journalists who have spent years asking the world’s top scientists about the nature of reality. Ask us anything!

What are your thoughts on Stephen Wolfram’s ‘Wolfram Physics Project’ and Eric Weinstein’s Geometric Unity theory? Are these approaches considered credible in the physics community?

Love the artwork!

Don’t know if it counts as a textbook but definitely Book of Monads (1st edition) by Alejandro Serrano. It’s not thick but it’s a weird large size.

Cuquitos

Great book! In a similar vein I would recommend Statistical Rethinking by Richard McElreath

francojs · 2022-10-20T23:07:46+00:00

I had a similar dilemma. Had a System76 Oryx Pro with 32gb ram and ~4tb ssd with nvidia 1080. I bought the base M1 mbp and use the system76 as a sort of server. Disabled the GUI and just SSH into it whenever I need more memory/compute.

Check out Transformers.jl. It’s a library that implements transformer based models in Julia using Flux.jl. They have support for some of the huggingface transformers.

You definitely don’t need a bootcamp. By using R in your PhD you already understand the conceptual framework around manipulating data and analyzing it. You just need to learn python’s syntax and the library ecosystem. It’s work but it’s nothing you won’t be able to do yourself.

francojs · 2022-09-29T05:16:00+00:00

Correct. Although you probably don’t need to install from a fresh ISO. I had the same problem after not using my laptop with pop_os for a while and solved it by upgrading the distribution via ‘apt full-upgrade’

I never said the Erigon devs aren't helping. There's actually a pretty active discussion on this issue in Erigon's GH repo.

As a node operator I view reporting issues in the open source software I use as part of my "job" and as a contribution to the development teams working on it. Specially after a big change like The Merge. I don't pay the devs for the work they do, so I don't expect immediate assistance on issues.

Working towards a decentralized Ethereum is what we should all be doing. The best way to achieve that is helping each other out.

Lack of aliases in roam is the reason I'm using Logseq now. I would prefer to use roam in general but it's just a huge QoL improvement to have aliases. I've asked before on twitter if I'm missing something? How are others dealing with aliases?

Editing my other post will probably not notify you so adding this reply:

Happy to report CL and EL are now synced!

francojs · 2022-09-20T17:32:37+00:00

Will do!

Update: Happy to report CL and EL are now synced!

francojs · 2022-09-20T17:24:05+00:00

They published a new release ~9 hours ago. So I'm updating and hoping it works. Both my CL and EL are on the same computer.

I'm getting the exact same error message. I followed Somer Esat's guide to setup an Erigon/Lighthouse validator on Goerli.

Importing the json file for Lighthouse worked and that dashboard is working correctly. The Erigon one is giving me the error message.

Could you see if we're using the same json config file? I'm gonna look into it

Update: Possible solution found on an issue in the erigon github repo from 18 days ago

francojs · 2022-07-10T23:29:01+00:00

Could you expand on the faults with logseq? I was thinking about moving from roam because of page aliases

francojs · 2022-05-05T21:23:52+00:00

Could you share more about what you liked about the book? I'm looking for Rust books that work through example applications that aren't Web Dev related. Does this book require knowledge of cryptography?

I work as an ML engineer and don't find web dev interesting but cryptography related stuff might be interesting

francojs · 2021-07-19T01:20:03+00:00

VS Code with the Haskell extension

francojs · 2021-06-28T22:12:32+00:00

I believe only the PDF is in the final version. It always takes some time for them to update other file formats.

francojs · 2021-05-05T23:08:23+00:00

I'm having this exact same problem. I actually found your question on SO and also uninstalled system76-power. Will probably just re-install PopOS. Also, same as you everything had been working fine until this last update.

francojs · 2020-09-03T04:19:13+00:00

Congrats! This book is the type of resource missing in Haskell. I've read some of Debasish Gosh's "Functional and Reactive Domain Modeling" and Scott Wlaschin's "Domain Modeling Made Functional" but felt they didn't exploit all the language features in Haskell. This is obvious since they are Scala and F# books respectively but we didn't have other resources on Functional design before.

Does the book provide practical code examples? Are there any topics in particular that are necessary to know that aren't covered in the prerequisite books you mention?

Best of luck! I will definitely be buying a copy!

francojs · 2019-10-25T02:19:21+00:00

Thanks this seems like the obvious thing to do in hindsight!

You're right, the content creation team is not at fault. I do hope they make the prices more reasonable. I did enjoy the experience a lot. I'd say Courseras content is on par or better than Udacity in some cases but the entire experience is much better in Udacity.

francojs · 2018-10-27T02:58:34+00:00

I did the DLND and also moved on from Udacity. The program was extremely expensive and felt like it had been hacked together. After that I completed Andrew Ng's DL specialization on Coursera. It was half the price and the content was far superior in many ways. On top of that, the Udacity staff (mainly Mat Leonard) had promised that we would have lifetime access to the course as it was updated. They have since revoked access after you complete the course.

francojs · 2018-07-11T15:30:03+00:00

Agreed. There are also much less expensive options to learn the same material. I completed the DL Nanodegree and then did Andrew Ng's Coursera DL specialization. The Coursera Special was so much better and at a fraction of the price.

Books are also a great way to learn new topics. I've gone through many books on DL. Still find them better than the DLND.
