I'm Cyrille Rossant, a neuroscience researcher and software engineer at the International Brain Laboratory and University College London.
I'm interested in mathematics, scientific computing, data visualization, computer graphics, GPU programming, web applications, AI. I wrote several books on Python for scientific computing.
After a sudden personal event, I decided to devote a large portion of my research activities to the shaken baby syndrome controversy: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37650402

I fully agree. I loathe slow software. I hate bloat. I love fast software. As a developer, I'm completely, even irrationally, obsessed with speed, performance optimization, and profiling. I wish more developers felt the same way.
That's one way to see it. Can't we also imagine that more and more people now rely on AI rather than humans to learn programming (or more accurately learn vibe-coding)?
I can totally relate. I often listen to instrumental music while I work. Lately I've listened to music with lyrics and I have a slightly harder time reading, writing and thinking. Not being a native English speaker and not understanding everything helps though.
Many research labs generate GBs of data as npy files. Having readers in languages other than Python is useful when you have programs in other languages that need to process them.
I had the same realization lately. Shouldn't it be said more specifically that anything that consumes matter to turn it into energy (as all living things on Earth) must poop? If we make the distinction between mass and energy of course.
