It's paper day! It took quite some time, but we finally got it:)
arxiv.org/abs/2501.04639
🚀 Excited to share our latest work: Effort.jl - a fast, differentiable emulator for the Effective Field Theory of Large-Scale Structure (EFTofLSS). 🌌 Let's dive into the key features! 🧵

This is incredible. $30 per paper in practice. That would mean the entire arXiv would cost about $6m/year based on the 2023 usage report. RLUK puts UK payments to journals alone at about $250m www.rluk.ac.uk/strategicact... We wouldn't all be cash strapped and losing jobs if we didn't waste so much.

I have a oodles of knowledge for all the software performance engineering tricks in Rust, Julia and other systems languages and would love to work with teams that are looking to skill up in those respects, from back ends to big data crunching!

Oh, this post from earlier today is missing the #julialang tag (because I forgot it).
So if you work with Lie groups somewhere, maybe consider checking out our new package LieGroups.jl!

Renormalisation is a central concept in modern physics. It describes how the dynamics of a system change at different scales. A great way to understand and visualise renormalisation is the Ising model
(some math, but one can follow without it )

Next time someone tells you that LLMs are killing coding, remind them of this👇
This except debugging is also really hard actually if you want to do it right and requires experience with creative practice to get it right
Using LLMs to generate content doesn't save labour, it deskills it. And it deskills it in the most boring possible ways.
