@mitsuhiko @lvh I loved that talk too! :D

All that excitement about SQLite per user reminds me of this talk from 2012 by @lvh about fractal architectures. It was the first time I was exposed to the idea of many SQLite databases and it stuck with me ever since. youtu.be/lMbq7zDJfp0?fe…

@TomLubowe @Zhinst Thanks for organizing the workshop and tweeting my talk, @TomLubowe!

Using the QuTiP HEOM for Non-Markovian Quantum Engineering by @hodgestar from @Zhinst

@hedleyroos Yes.

Is it really more productive when the sender uses AI to flesh out a document, and the receiver uses AI to summarize the document for easier reading? Are we just adding unnecessary bullshit to communication?

@mitsuhiko I found the French-German mixture in Zürich a lot more mind bending, but both cities are quite fun because of it.

Before coming to Brussels I did not understand how this city can function. Now that I’m leaving I understand it even less.

@vhata @amarchenkova Ah, I see! :D

this is great neal.fun/absurd-trolley…

@amarchenkova Shiny!

New cryo components are ready ✅

@dgtager I have it confirmed. The ANC elective conference at NASREC is not being loadshed. They have asked for and received a full exemption from loadshesding from 16 to 20 Dec inclusive (5 Days) while the rest of SA is being loadshed at stage 6.

@niki_mcqueen *You*, however, are still pretty damn awesome.

QuTiP's Jupyter notebooks tutorials have been revamped! To keep them shiny, they're now continuously tested with their own CI. :D Thank you Christian Staufenbiel, who made all this happen during GSoC 2022! qutip.org/qutip-tutorial… christian512.github.io youtube.com/watch?v=cCzohb…

Amazing work by Wenzel!

If you are accusing people of being fascist, I recommend first reading archive.org/details/pdfy-d… and theanarchistlibrary.org/library/umbert…. There is much nuanced thought in the originals which is often lost in paraphrased versions.

We hosted this year's Google Summer of Code 2022 student presentations. youtu.be/cCzohbNxweM See the students' work: • QuTiP-QiP as a Qiskit backend ｜ Shreyas Pradhan • QuTiP Benchmarks ｜ Xavier Spronken • QuTiP Notebook CI Testing & v5 update ｜ Christian Staufenbiel

@appfactory I'm aware, but I think this thread is now in some sort of limbo after the initial tweet got deleted. :)

@hodgestar This is specifically focused around software development.

@appfactory Without a model, it's impossible to even say what needs to be kept constant for an experiment to give the same results if run again.
