FWIW (my PhD is actually MIT, so you can tell it’s gonna be worse), I had two published papers that have today 25 citations when I got my PhD: ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/search/fq=%7.... Never published my thesis…. So, many such cases?
OK, so this is an awesome paper with an awesome figure out on the arXiv today (and I had nothing to do with it apart from many authors being frequent collaborators)... arxiv.org/abs/2408.16050, where fig 6 is a pretty good summary:
Well today is the first day I have a free* research assistant**… *free=raising child to age of 16 & continuing to provide room, board, loving home, etc. **person who was told to choose from a menu of options for activities & helped to organize applications & … forgot to submit them
My first paper is up on arXiv as of a week ago!!! We used the ~1500 Type Ia supernovae from the Dark Energy Survey to measure time dilation from the expansion of the Universe 🔭 arxiv.org/abs/2406.05050 1/4
We present a precise measurement of cosmological time dilation using the light curves of 1504 type Ia supernovae from the Dark Energy Survey spanning a redshift range $0.1\lesssim z\lesssim 1.2$....
I understand that there can sometimes be difficulties with Jax on apple GPU silicon, but otherwise I have *loved* my ARM-based Mac. Gogogogogogogogogo! Also: personally, I use miniconda for all my python-related needs, and have avoided HomeBrew for some time now.... YMMV, of course.
Astronomer: We found a planet around 2MASS J20232987-1234567! Me: Great! What did you name it? A: I chose a random subset of that string and added 'b' to it. Me: Was it a subset anyone had used before? A: I don't know. Me: Was it the same /format/ as a subset anyone had used before? A: ...no? Me: 😐
too much multitasking today, but got most of my last python lecture of the semester in order: extension modules here's a Mandelbrot generator with python + numpy, Numba, Fortran + f2py, and C++ + pybind11: sbu-python-class.github.io/python-scien...#astro
