I know a lab that tried to publish names along with scores for the likelihood that they were h-index hacking. It's a very popular thing to do for more well known scientists. Unfortunately legal teams were very discouraging to do so and

It's open source. Everything about it is open source except for a little web app thing (which is a really nice one, but you don't have to use it). I am using Typst to write my dissertation along with git and it's great. The

Can it be extended to Rosenpass?

The build tools are incredible. That's the main reason many people love Rust. For kernel dev however, the memory safety is a big win.

If you're looking for something that fixes many of the problems of latex (and has gained quite a lot of traction), you could use Typst. It has a far nicer syntax and is quite a lot more capable.

Yeah, electron is so over . Now tbe modern tech stack is to build a bash+python app in an env, add a touch of R, some js, and bundle it into docker container, then make that docker container into wasm with container2wasm, and give that out

Surely you see that Amiga OS is not a popular operating system, even if the creator used it daily.

This is absurd and cannot be true. Shmidhuber beat both of these guys easily with his paper from decades before these amateurs even claimed to start working on it.

I think they may have been commenting a bit more about the incentive structure and that any "prestigious researcher" or institution typically got there via questionable ethics, etc.

It becomes far more useful for making very large files generated from code (e.g. NN weights) easily downloadable without having to pay huge sums to storage providers ($600 to AWS for arxiv.org for example) - with IPFS it's completely F

If we had a proper data version control, wherein the git commit hash was tied directly to the output data hash and hosted on IPFS (and the make system checked ipfs like it does local files for the cache) then it would be absolutely reproduc

Wow, perhaps I am unaware of some of the wonderful capabilities of git! So if everything on the entirety of github.com was deleted, you could still do a git clone somehow and it would pull it from everyone who has ever cloned that repo? Bec

Sure, but the work of typing out 1000 people's IP addresses as remotes and managing that sounds like a nightmare that should be offloaded somehow. Adding "ipfs" to the remote and having it managed by a system to push to thou

Not sure I understand the 'cry for help's comment. This has absolutely nothing to do with currency here. Associating decentralization with currency is idiotic and completely misses the point. Well, actually on second thought it

The idea is to have the daemon automatically start and serve the git repo anytime a git clone is done, that way the number of nodes hosting the repo (speed of download) grows with the popularity of the repo. That way you could saturate a 1

Yes but not having to specify every single user who pulls the git repo from GitHub by IP address as an additional remote is a huge win no? If "ipfs" can be added as a remote, and it automatically pulls from thousands of different

Anyone know if there will be any better tools for cross-compiling python projects? The package management and build tools for python have been so atrociously bad (environments add far too much complexity to the ecosystem) that it turns many

It would be wonderful if it were distributed by default more easily. For instance, an ipfs or torrent backend which automatically provides a backbone of thousands of computers with the repo on them as the remote, rather than just the singl

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the most popular version control system was is decentralized? This is achievable, and is the correct solution. This way your git repo could be located on: - GitHub - Your Closet (...) - UCLA's super

What's wrong with the fridge analogy? It's an analogy for a reason. It bothers me when people combat analogies so incredibly hard. Of course , it is not really fitting or the same thing - it's an analogy.

It is important to have popular and powerful tools that can reduce amount of code for things like caching and building. For example, Snakemake (os-independent make) with data version control based off of torrent (removing complication of ha

Of course, it's absolutely DVC. The problem is that I've never seen a DVC solution that solves the problem by making the hosting decentralized. So all of the huge problems I listed still exist even with these DVC packages. What

It's a decent starting point, but it's an assumption that they're not collecting data (because it is discoverable if it's written in the code); however is not always true. You should check the source code for every pro
