Part 2 of the collaboration with Terence Tao on the cosmic distance ladder is now out. It covers how we first learned the distances to planets, stars, and galaxies far, far away. youtu.be/hFMaT9oRbs4

#JuliaLang Pkg and #ArchLinux pacman are such great tools. The best package managers I have ever used.

I've often struggled to explain _why_, even as a novice, I enjoy #julialang so much, often falling back to "It just feels nice." Apparently, I should have just let the Julia developers explain it. Came across the following from "Why We Created Julia" from 2012-02 and it all makes more sense now.

Font et al. show a deep reinforcement learning-driven controller that cuts turbulent separation bubbles more effectively than periodic forcing. Trained on a coarser grid, it transfers smoothly to fine-grid simulations. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We have succeeded in controlling a turbulent separation bubble at a high Reynolds number using deep reinforcement learning! The paper, published in @naturecomms.bsky.social (@natureportfolio.nature.com), can be accessed here: www.nature.com/articles/s41... #ML #DRL #CFD #LES

Using higher order automatic differentiation to improve stiff ODE solvers? Using a third order Newton-like method (Halley's) inside the #sciml #julialang ODE solvers with Taylor-mode AD, ~25% faster. arxiv.org/abs/2501.16895

Ok, so can we get some cheap GPUs now - to, you know, play video games and all that?

I compiled some of the learning resources I point out to students in this repo github.com/b-fg/learnin... These are free online books/articles/posts/webs/repos on #CFD, #ML, #HPC, and #academic writing. Very preliminary, but I will be adding some more as they come up. Please feel free to contribute!

Two years ago, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said that Moore's law was “dead” because we're hitting physical limits for the miniaturization of transistors. Now he predicts that we're about to see a “Hyper” Moore’s law. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaGu...
