Over the next few months I'll be applying* for industry positions for data science and ML software engineering. Know of any great positions or interested in working with me? Let me know! sethaxen.com/

Super excited to preprint our work on developing a Biomolecular Emulator (BioEmu): Scalable emulation of protein equilibrium ensembles with generative deep learning from @MSFTResearch AI for Science.

Reminder: if you must use Overleaf, use the git or GitHub integration to maintain a back-up. Continue to write locally during downtimes and push the edits when it's back up.
⚠️ Attention: our website is down. We are aware of the outage and are investigating. Apologies for any inconvenience this might cause. You can also check our status page at status.overleaf.com/
My preferred approach: xitter.cf/sethaxen/status/176151…
100% for collaborative LaTeX for a team that isn't comfortable with git. @code + LaTeX Workshop + git is a much better experience. Since Overleaf supports git, I write locally and then push to Overleaf when I'm ready for collaborators to see it.
Oh look, it's me and my kids. This was a fun event! Thanks @uni_tue for hosting it!
Lange Nacht der Dinos, Workshops, Podiumsdiskussionen u.v.m.: Auch der 2. Tag der Science & Innovation Days bot ein vielfältiges Veranstaltungsangebot zum Thema “Besser streiten”. Programm der #SIDays24: 👉 sidays.com #Forschung #Tübingen
ALT In einem blau ausgeleuchteten Ausstellungsraum mit Dinosaurierskeletten erklärt ein Wissenschaftler Kindern und Erwachsenen etwas.

Trying to switch some repos over to using uv to install dependencies for CI instead of conda, and I'm rather disappointed by how non- straightforward this is.
Yesterday started my first training mesocycle where instead of using a generic training program, I'm tailored the program to attack my weaknesses. Looking forward to some major progress!

Ever thought about using matrix-exp's or log-det's in large-scale ML (think PDEs/GGN matrices with >1M rows)? I have, and maybe you have, too—but gradients? That's where it gets tricky.
Not anymore! We have a #NeurIPS2024 spotlight: "Gradients of Functions of Large Matrices."🧵
Being outside the US is somehow decreasing my stress about this election. Still there and still intense, but now it feels easier to put down.

New paper on EigenVI! To appear at #NeurIPS2024 as a spotlight.
EigenVI is an eigenvalue-based approach to black-box VI & constructs its variational approximations from orthogonal function expansions -- inspired by solutions to the Schrödinger equation in quantum mechanics.
Finally upgraded to a @cursor_ai Pro subscription (burned through the trial completions quota in about an hour), and it feels like flying.
Upside of being location-bound while on the job market: highly constrained search.
Downside: seeing some really cool opportunities that would require just way too much commuting.

It feels really weird that as an expat I get to vote for local officers and initiatives in a US town where I haven't lived in years and may never live again.
Thanks @kqedbaycurious and @TheBayKQED for the Prop Fest series! It's been really helpful getting familiar with the propositions on the ballot while doing other tasks. kqed.org/propfest

The legendary pull request of `adding --trim option for generating small binaries` has just been merged into master.
