The software pipelines are open source and public (I think?), so maybe you could look at the code?

Possibly because of the way things are set up (and then the journalist didn't think to clean things up). SLAC (California) is where the US-hosted data will be, but for the UK and France there is more collaboration between HPC/comp

I mean, if you think you can do it for $100k, I would say that it should be possible to apply for (and get) an outreach grant and build it (probably better to try in the EU, given the current cuts to science in the US). Or maybe contact one

I don't think Anaconda is targeting a smaller part of the ecosystem, rather a different but overlapping ecosystem (remember Anaconda does more than just Python, and there's more to data science than Python). Astral I suspect won&#

There's also the assumptions around wheels having consistent metadata (which isn't required in older versions of the specs), so as long as you don't need to support the long tail of packages, then those assumptions are fine (

by aragilar 1y ago
uv only exists because of those standards and therefore can make assumptions that earlier tools could not.

There are already facilities like this (obviously not as new as Rubin) degrading due to funding, but this is because there's usually no better purpose for them. Space monitoring has been used in the past as a second life for facilities

by aragilar 1y ago
My feeling is the "deep" vs "wide" thing is a circumstance of which groups you interact with (and also which facilities you have access to, and even to some extent the culture of your science community). Rubin is an exam

It depends on the science you're doing as even these small effects add up, there's a project within the LSST science team (which a college is working on) to reduce this scattered light (search for "low surface brightness&quot

While it would be cool to make a mobile app for this, having used both the tech stack behind this site (it's open source, and really great), and written a mobile app with a similar tech stack, $100k will get you one, but it's goin

I would note arXiv requires the source as well, and having the source is what is enabling the HTML experiments they're doing. On consistency, what the journals provide is some level of QA (how much is a function of field and journal, r

You could use unicode-maths?

by aragilar 1y ago
Not only do you need to use LaTeX, but you need to use the journal's class file. Anything else will get rejected.

I suspect the better question is "how badly affected are project science goals by the funding uncertainty". I'm not US-based, but from what I've heard no astro projects are unaffected.

Look up fpack and funpack.

Sorry, I was replying to guappa suggesting that they were focusing on the wrong thing.
229.
by aragilar 1y ago
Why are you focusing on what they are saying, rather than what they are writing (there's an important distinction)?

What about an issue tracker? Or requirements? Design and planning? A debugger doesn't help you design, version control doesn't tell you what you still need to do, and CI doesn't tell you you've implemented the requiremen

Let's not hold Canonical up as some kind of paragons of open source. While yes, they're not as bad as Microsoft (which frankly isn't a high bar to clear), and it seems likely that at the beginning they were enthusiastic suppo
232.
by aragilar 1y ago
True, but Canonical has been a source of issues for a while (as a general rule, I recommend people avoid anything developed/driven by them). I don't see any of the other commercial linux vendors (even Oracle) being that dumb, and

I agree, if you know your requirements are such that you don't care about the correct answer, but any good enough consistent answer will do (e.g. the fast inverse square root), then doing the full numerical analysis is not worth your w

by aragilar 1y ago
But is that correctness or reproducibility? The latter isn't important as the former.
235.
by aragilar 1y ago
I mean, if you get different results for the same input on the same machine with the same code, I'd be concerned. But that's not that interesting really, as you actually care that you get the right answer, not the same answer (oth

In one of two cases I believe? I wonder what would have happened if both calls ended up being wrapped, if the bug would have taken even longer than it did to be found...

Oh, you got that bit of fun... That's not an apt problem, that's a Ubuntu problem (and it's a reason I encourage people to either stick to LTS if they must use Ubuntu, or just run Debian or and other distro which doesn't

Possibly I'm just more used to apt (though fedora was my first linux), but I've found apt has better interfaces for what I'm trying to do (e.g. querying the state of the system and ensuring consistency across machines), and I

Lustre got dropped from the kernel, so it seems unlikely?

If you go to https://tracker.debian.org/ for any package, it lists patches that need to be sent upstream.
