I once heard Pat Hanrahan (who among other things was involved in some of the early realistic hair rendering work) claim that L'Oréal funded some of that work, exactly because they were interested in what the models said about the (con

Dropping passive voice helps most writing, but > "content will be synced" -> "content is synced" FYI that's still passive voice.

Specifically, this brings to mind Observable Framework, which takes the "jupyter-like" UI of observablehq.com and makes a static site generator out of it, where you write Markdown, and add "reactive Javascript" bits to i

Yes, up until recently. The Vera Rubin observatory will change that quite a bit, and soon. Most observatories and telescopes are currently aimed at deep field (very long exposures of tiny portions of the sky). There are a few surveys meant

(In case you didn’t know, it’s fun that) Jacob Collier plays a 5-string guitar in a tuning that takes advantage of this trick exactly. IIRC, from lowest to highest he tunes them a fifth, a fifth, a fourth and a fourth apart. By flatting the

The vibe of CACM also has changed significantly over the decades it's been around. When it started in the late 1950s, and through the mid 90s, it was really a "Journal of the ACM"-lite; the research articles were quite good!

It’s a well known exercise in prob textbooks (edit: it’s the algo referenced in the other reply) to convert one distribution to another. If you can generate gaussians (or any other distribution) you can generate uniform variates. It’s a ver

I think you misunderstand arxiv, blogging, and research papers. (I've used/done extensively the three mentioned things before, including blogging in a research context) arxiv is a preprint server. Blog posts can, sometimes, play t

You use it indeed to generate HTML output. For Python+Jupyter folk, that's most directly applicable to Jupyter Lab or Jupyter Notebook settings. You can use it with Jupyter book, nbconvert, or any other tools that convert .ipynb to HTM

I mean, “differential cryptanalysis” doesn’t go through AD, but I would be surprised if it’s not possible to get pretty close to a discrete analogue to AD using bit flips instead of differential and abstract interpretation.

Such a cool structure. I was so amazed when I learned about it out ~10 years ago that I wrote a little interactive thing in javascript + webgl for it. I hope you'll forgive my self-indulging here: https://cscheid.github.io&#

Not that I'm aware of. With that said, Quarto works very well _with_ Jupyter notebooks. You can develop in them and then use them directly as inputs to our system. This is how, for example, Jeremy Howard and Rachel Thomas from fast.ai

(disclosure: Quarto dev here). I'm a huge Observable fan. Speaking entirely for myself, this space is so important that I'm thrilled to have more activity rather than less. Quarto's great and Observable's great. I hope f

Thanks for the feedback. The scoping rules are by design and match .ipynb workflows in the case of multiple documents, so we're unlikely to change it. The render latency of quarto is definitely higher than we'd love, but we have a

Frankly, that's easier said than done. The complication is from the implied dependencies. If you've designed from zero to be able to track the requirements everywhere in the code base, then that's (in principle, though still

Excellent question. My understanding is that Pluto has its own execution engine outside of Jupyter, and so would require the creation of a new "engine" in our codebase. We are a pretty lean team that has other priorities for 2024,

(disclosure: I work on Quarto) I 100% agree with you. It's partly why tools from the Quarto lineage (knitr, rmarkdown) work hard to make popular latex features like crossreferences work in HTML and other forward-facing formats. At the
