I’m trying to set up a chat system that would enable category theory diagrams. It seems like webAssembly is the only way. I’ve come across this library before, probably will take the plunge and try to get it to work in a larger chat system

If you think reality has a lot of detail, ‘unreality’ will blow your mind. (I’m referring to Hilbert space.)

I hadn't heard of TEE, thanks for the link. We have not yet had the opportunity to collaborate with other agencies (outside of interactions with gov institutions), but are eager to do so.

I’ve worked a little bit in an idea to enable more citizen science: https://www.eonias.org/ Anyone with research ideas or an idea for a grant proposal please reach out.

This is a tricky point, but I would say that D-Wave systems are quantum computers, however they rely on coherence, and not entanglement (coherence is necessary for entanglement, but you don't get entanglement automatically from coheren

Jean-Pierre Marquis, in his contribution to the volume "What is Category Theory", wrote: 'Category theory is the Architectronic of Concepts'. I think this is the best way I have heard it put.

Thanks for this! I've played around with Chapel a bit before, and certainly agree that the community is very welcoming. I did come across Legion when I was researching languages in the HPC space, but admit that I did not get a chance t

Can you compare to Chapel?

I've worked in academia for several years, and it's been somewhat discouraging. I've certainly noticed the pressure put on grad students--not fun. I'm someone who is deeply passionate about science/research and hav

What is your background? I've been studying math, neuroscience , AI, biology etc for a long time. I left quantitative finance (after leaving a math program) to work at a university developing computational biology software. In finance

I can't reply to your last comment...but yes..anything dealing with time series it's easily the best in the world. In a past life long ago I worked in finance and heard about it then. Recently, I was thinking about simulations and

It can? How exactly? I can never wrap my head around this argument from the AGI risk people. I simply cannot in any way follow their logic. Why is this imaginary creature maniacally homicidal? Please give me a good reason for this. The o

I'm interested in using kdb+/q for applications dealing with large scale scientific data. Do you think there would be much interest in the neuroscience community? I'll add, I work in a lab and have seen the stuff of nightmar

what sorts of tools are you using to deal with this data?

by codekilla 8y ago
What about something like kdb+/q? I realize it is proprietary software, but it is an array language with super fast vector operations designed to operate on distributed data. I was actually thinking about how well graphBLAS might map t

Why not open this compute up to the greater scientific community? We could use it, not just for AI.

Has anyone worked on creating a 'village' in the bay? Is there any thing like a network where people can watch each other's kids, or take them to activities, to take any pressure off? Like to be a member, you would of course

Most perspectives on science highlight the hierarchical nature of the process, and how successive layers are built on previous ones. I largely agree with this, and Sean Caroll outlines it in 'The Big Picture', but many have point

If science is more inefficient, what are some ideas to make it less so? I work at a top research university in the US, and have thought about this quite a bit (I don't really disagree). I'm curious to hear what you and Michael thi

Stuart Hammeroff gave a talk here at Caltech about them last year.....which surprised me a bit. It is still considered far afield from mainstream neuroscience, however, quantum biology is something many are seriously thinking about.
