We have a job opening at Peptone.io for an ML researcher.

Come help us find new ways to understand and drug intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), it's a very interesting and important problem!

The blog post of the late Felix Hill is powerful. Stress for AI researchers today is real.

I did not know Felix Hill and I am sorry for those who did.
This story is perhaps a reminder for students, postdocs, founders and researchers to take care of their well being.

I think my setup is fine now and quite minimal :) more joking about the universal urge of "maybe I should roll something myself..."

@imtd.bsky.social convinced me to turn my homepage into a blog.

Not much content yet... Let's see if I stick to it: argmin.xyz.

And today, happy Hanukkah 🕎❤️

Fun challenge that is apparently hard for LLMs (at least all those I could get my hands on): solving carefully drafted anagrams!

New ARC challenge? :D

PS: credits go to family Lehmann from Kassel who invent those ridiculously hard Xmas puzzles every year!

Jonas Köhler @jonkhler.argmin.xyz · Dec 24

Merry Christmas! ❤️🌲

Jonas Köhler @jonkhler.argmin.xyz · Dec 20

Actually you convinced me to start one! <3

I should... But all the time. Man there are so many things I would love to write a blog about and I never find the time 🫣

Segment radixsort, prefixsums and pointwise transforms are just OPed on GPUs.

The amount of throughput you can get on a single cheap device is ridiculous! And you can implement so much crazy stuff with just that. ❤️

hello bluesky! we have a new preprint on solvation free energies:

tl;dr: We define an interpolating density by its sampling process, and learn the corresponding equilibrium potential with score matching. arxiv.org/abs/2410.15815

Well, in terms of adding to climate change both are not wrong 🫣

Also regarding this whole insecurity business: one can simply say "good question, honestly I don't know, maybe someone in the audience can help us to clear this up?". I would prefer to hear that a lot more - especially from senior academics - rather than assertive statements.

Jonas Köhler @jonkhler.argmin.xyz · Dec 2

I am personally not at all impressed, intimidated or even excited by a polished business school or flawless but boring diplomat's talk.

I personally prefer having one or two memes and puns on the slides so that I don't sleep away rather than boring but correct formal stuff...
