Having so much fun coming up with examples on how to compute using hyperdimensional computing. Just read Kanerva's "What's the dollar of Mexico?" paper and decided to roll it out on my project presentation to explain this computing paradigm.

Perks of day 1 of Julia2925 workshop here in UGhent: finally got a Julia AND Dispatch stickers for my laptop

#julilang

I think I’ll never get sick of doing research on the train.

Thesis update: Got to the point where biology stopped being 'biology' and became pure math (with some semantics sprinkled?). Wild to think I almost became a regular wetlab biochemist instead of... whatever this is

If you need help setting up, send me a message and I can send you the scripts I have for AlphaFold

Have you tried modal? Depending on the size of your project, you can use the free tier to do some calculations. I am using it now as a poor PhD student and have predicted structures with ESM and AF, some PLMs, parallelize TMalign and more along those lines

Oh great! Wasn’t aware there was a difference, thanks for the clarification.

Awesome work! Just wanted to ask what is the main difference of this matrix with the substitution matrix the Foldseek team derived originally, which is used in Foldseek and Foldmason

Had an awesome time this week at @netbiomed2025.bsky.social and @netsciconf.bsky.social.

Very interesting talks and posters and nice people, I couldn’t be more excited to get back to working on this topic to study biological processes.

Just finish migrating all of my markdown notes to orgmode using Neovim and pandoc, over 500 notes converted in less than 10 minutes thanks to neovim macros, quickfix and replace. I love it when I am able to use Neovim in complex things like this, it's such a breeze knowing this editor properly

The reddit community is pretty big and active, with new plugin announcements almost daily and weekly and monthly threads for commons things (config review, questions threads, memes, etc). I would recommend checking that out

Yesterday I realized that my custom note taking system was slowly converting into org mode, so here I am moving everything to nvim-orgmode. Overall, pretty impressed but it’s going to take me some time to get used to it

GraphBLAS is so elegant, I want to have a huge GPU to run all my graph algorithms as linear algebra operations

Played around today with hyperdimensional computing. Really enjoyed it but it requieres some extra effort to go against my previous modelling mindset

Delve into the hypervectors

Just spent 2 hours debugging lua code to find out I had a typo that made my función recurse infinitely. The recursion was so fast even Neovim couldn’t detect it when throwing a StackOverflow error.

Looking for a #PhD that is at the intersection of #biodesign, #synbio, #openendedness, #evolution? Look no further. Great supervisory team too 😉

Open #PhD position alert! Join @chofski.bsky.social
and me, in thinking about how we can use (in silico) evolution in synthetic biology and biodesign! repost = 🥰

How are you browsing arxiv from a terminal?

Macros are stored in the register you assign to it, therefore it should be pretty straightforward to capture this, name it and be able to call it whenever you want to use it again. stackoverflow.com/a/2024537

I could implement something small and let you know if you are interested
