This is why spaghetti code is so prevalent in scientific community. We are not really train (especially for non engineering research projects) to become programmers and we do programming just as a way to do research.

Can I see your thesis?

I'm currently learning about machine learning and digital twin but don't really where to start

ahmadmijot | 1 year ago | on: Lowercase – A simple way to take and share notes

Few years back after countless hours of deciding which note taking apps that suits me, I just settled with Obsidian (I briefly used Dendron before that). I realised that I am not that power user of thing like this. Similar with what kind of indexing/management systems. I just fuck it no analysis paralysis, just do with whatever work for now.

Yes. Back then during forum era we tried to use Google Wave to discuss our project (music collaboration). it had a really nice way to do collab.

ahmadmijot | 2 years ago | on: Scientific sleuths spot dishonest ChatGPT use in papers

Yup. I'm not a native English speaker, thus I use chatgpt (and before this, quillbot or grammarly) to rephrase my sentences to become clearer, concise and have that 'professional' tone, apart from make them grammatically correct.

Quite related: nowadays there is this movement within scientific researches ie Open Science where the (raw) data from ones research is open source. And even methods for in-house fabrication and development together with its source code is open source (open hardware and open software)

> My doctoral thesis project used roughly 1/2 million dollars of gear,

Wow I envy you. My doctoral thesis project spent like... USD2.5k directly for gears (half of it just to buy lego bricks to build our own instrument exactly because we can't afford to buy commercial one lol)

ahmadmijot | 2 years ago | on: Ask HN: Why is LK-99 public?

True, but in academia and R&D, when researchers talk about "publications" they always refer to peer-reviewed journal publication unless stated otherwise.

ahmadmijot | 2 years ago | on: Ask HN: Why is LK-99 public?

If I'm not mistaken it's not that they 'published' the finding as in 'publish in a peer-reviewed article' but more like depositing pre-print in a database (arXiv) for not yet peer-review journal.

I somehow like his way of presentation with his dry humour. But maybe because I'm already interested with his topics (mainly related to IC industry and Asian history).

ahmadmijot | 2 years ago | on: Nobody cares about your blog

I don't care if nobody cares about my writing. I just need somewhere to vent.

I still have and use an XP background wallpaper with Longcat on it for my desktop background

ahmadmijot | 2 years ago | on: Lessons by 3blue1brown

Yeah me too. Some of his videos are really helps me understanding about math (particularly on linear algebra) but some of his (recent-ish) videos are way above my head. Maybe because I don't have any background on the subject.

ahmadmijot | 3 years ago | on: Japanese Manga are being eclipsed by Korean webtoons

For (at least within scanlation scene) english usage: Manga is comic originated from Japan Manhwa is comic originated from Korea Manhua is comic originated from China

I really thought it was about Pele the footballer's hair!

ahmadmijot | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: What habits did you achieve this year?

Wow thanks for the sharing. I hope I'll do some greasing the groove for my sedentary lifestyle.

ahmadmijot | 3 years ago | on: How history/tech YouTube channel Asianometry reached 270K subscribers, $5K/month

Wow. I stumbled his channel few months back when I tried to learn about semiconductor industry.

Really happy about his success

ahmadmijot | 3 years ago | on: How history/tech YouTube channel Asianometry reached 270K subscribers, $5K/month

Also his dry humour here and there!

ahmadmijot | 3 years ago | on: TinyTapeout: Get your design on an actual ASIC

Are you the author? I've read the slides but can't find the details. What kind cell library this project use? I know from someone in the IC design industry said that it's kind of hard to access all the tools and semiconductor IPs without some kind of NDA or agreement with library vendors and foundry.
