More fragmented, calling-some-api based python code actually causes LLM to hallucinate and mix libraries more: https://www.stochasticlifestyle.com/chatgpt-performs-better-...

Apache arrow and parquet all work this way. Even HDF5 in column mode isn't completely bad. TTree is succeeded by RNTuple, which is basically CERN's take on Apache Arrow, they're incredibly similar

Uproot already returns you Awkward array, so both things you mentioned are different ways of saying the same thing. The irreducible complexity of data analysis is there no matter how you do it, and "one-vector-at-a-time" sometimes

One common criticism of uproot is that it's not flexible when per-row computation gets complicated because for-loops in Python is too slow. For that one can either use Numba (when it works), or, here's the shameless plug, use Juli

it's very hard to argue anything is "better" than Wolfram/Mathematica when it comes to symbolic stuff, after all, most theoretical physicists use Mathematica for their professional work. But for (entry-level) learning an

I see. yeah I can see why it's confusing now -- we use "next-to-leading order" to mean a smaller effect than the leading order, but here, "next largest" means the one larger than natural numbers. Language is hard

two sets can both be infinite and yet one is "larger" than the other (c.f. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleph_number ). You can establish two infinite sets are as large as one another by finding a bijection b

Specific to Particle physics and Peter Higgs, this book ( https://www.basicbooks.com/titles/frank-close/elusive/978166... ) by Frank Close is fantastic.

Same, same, and same, + currently working on one of the LHC detectors as a phd student -- but it can all be traced back to the lore of the golden age of particle physics and the discovery of Brout–Englert–Higgs boson in 2012.
