I don't think research papers normally come with a simple portable way for others to rerun the calculations. At some point the code is complicated enough to be impossible to just proofread without running it.
- brumbelow 4mo agoYeah I would say that the 'some point' is frontier quantum research. Which makes it even more confusing as to how something like this is not caught.
- TaupeRanger 4mo agoPretty sure you responded to an AI bot, looking at their comment history.
- fennecbutt 4mo agoAnd the structure of their sentences, unless they're doing that on purpose for some reason
- frollogaston 4mo agoOk I don't normally call "bot" but yes it is. "It's not a sentence – it's a DSL"
- jMyles 4mo ago> I don't think research papers normally come with a simple portable way for others to rerun the calculations. ...which, for situations where a readable/narrated test suite is entirely possible, is awful.
- frollogaston 4mo agoResearch code is stereotypically awful
- m4gr4th34 4mo agoI actually created a template to make research dossiers to do exactly that on GitHub. it works, and self hosts, and has a DOI, and blockchain timestamps... I'm a quantum physicist that left academia cause it was too slow for my taste, and I think the technology is here now for open-sourcing science research.
- m4gr4th34 4mo agoI actually have been fiddling with something like this. Self publishing on GitHub, numbers that are run in real time. If code can be open-sourced, I think research can start to be. I started using linux in 2019, and honestly, though I don't use it now (windows-turned-mac man, sigh), open source is a solid concept.
- CodesInChaos 4mo agoI'm surprised they even included source code at all.
