Where Julia Outshines Python
This Blogpost covers some of the reasons my lab switched to #julialang
Many are left out, e.g. we simply call any python library/function we don't have in Julia, from Julia! (e.g..mne, scopy etc.). Native GPU made easy. Extending other libraries without editing them etc

Julia Health with Jacob Zelko
#Julialang Dispatch: we welcome Jacob Zelko, who takes us on a fascinating journey from his early days as a #biomedical engineering student through his work at the CDC during the COVID-19 pandemic, and into his current exploration of applied #categorytheory.

The never-ending conundrums of classical physics
Even today, scientists still try to solve sprinkler brain teasers from the 19th century.

Classical #physics is an active research area, is fundamental, and is still full of interesting and even controversial problems. Does your physics professor understand how airplanes fly? Good chance the answer is βnoβ.

I think it would be very nice if this supported monorepo's, where there are many packages in the same repo. It is a huge pain to identify which package to update and in which order. I am sure people from SciML would be very happy. Maybe @chrisrackauckas.bsky.social has ideas.

A comparison of automatic differentiation paradigms between Python and Julia:
- In Python, one chooses the autodiff framework first (PyTorch / JAX), then the appropriate scientific library
- In Julia, one writes the scientific library first, then one tries to make it compatible with several autodiff frameworks (Enzyme, Zygote, etc)
How to make #autodiff user-friendly? What lies beyond the safety of Python-world? Why does it matter for scientific machine learning?
All this, and more, in our latest preprint with @adrhill.bsky.social! Spoiler alert: it describes the most useful software I ever wrote.

A visualization of compressed column evaluation in sparse autodiff. Here, columns 1, 2 and 5 of the matrix (in yellow) have no overlap in their sparsity patterns. Thus, they can be evaluated together by multiplication with a sum of basis vectors (in purple).
Wanna learn about autodiff and sparsity? Check out our #ICLR2025 blog post with @adrhill.bsky.social and Alexis Montoison. It has everything you need: matrices with lots of zeros, weird compiler tricks, graph coloring techniques, and a bunch of pretty pics!

[Workgroup] JuliaHealth Meeting (Americas/Europe/Africa) -- January 29th, 2024
Hi Everyone! π It is a new year and it is time to have our first JuliaHealth monthly meeting! This monthβs meeting will be a little different: we are running for 2 hours to reflect on this past year, ...
Hi folks!
Our first JuliaHealth meeting of the year is taking place this Wednesday 12 - 2PM EST! We will be reflecting on last year, the coming year, and planning for @juliacon.bsky.social!
Come with your thoughts and give the agenda a look! Hope to see you there!

Just gave a two-day #JuiaLang workshop, and the fastest and the most improved code (after some performance tips) won a mug. People can get really competitive when you put a leaderboard on screenπ.

Maybe not highly accurate, but I like this image. There's also a giftedness corner, that increases masking abilities. In that case people can be twice (2e: gifted+autism) or thrice (3e:gifted+autism+adhd) exceptional :), any convex combination in that space really.
