Building bridges between open-source projects is a big part of why I joined @marimo.io. I got to know the @prefix.dev folks through @scipyconf.bsky.social, and worked together to make computational research easier to reproduce and share. Special thanks to @julianhofer.eu and Ruben Arts!

I was recently diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder called anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis. It's a "disease of chaos" that completely upturned my life for a couple months. I wrote a blog about it that goes into more detail and discusses prognosis. :-) burntsushi.net/encephalitis/

Before pixi was around I used mamba to fully automate my IaC workflows. Pixi makes that type of end-to-end automation and reproducibility even easier! Pixi isn't well know in the infrastructure space, but it should be - Pixi is the one package manager you can use across your entire stack.

Nothing says LLM security theater like Claude Code asking for permission to run `cat filename` in the terminal to read a file in the project folder. It has tools for that, but sometimes, like a human, it prefers the hard way. We are still obviously in the early days of all this mess.

I can't understate how good of a job the @inkandswitch.com folks did at this Automerge website. Wow, holy shit automerge.org And the fact that you can *interact* with the visual demo at the top? This is the new high bar for a technical website. Holy moly.

@julianhofer.eu Thanks for "Scripting Is More Fun With Nushell", helped me a bunch with ideas on what a clean language should look like. julianhofer.eu/blog/2025/nu...

As AWS open source just turned our request down, anyone have contacts at Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure who thinks they might be interested in donating cloud credits for an educational tutorial at SciPy 2025?

Marimo is an excellent project. Powerful like Jupyter and reactive like Excel. It also fully supports Pixi 🚀

While I've been attending @scipyconf.bsky.social since 2019 and helping to organize SciPy since 2021, #SciPy2025 will be my first time teaching a tutorial at the conference! Hope to see you there, and looking forward to great experiences with the tutorial participants.

The times are a-changing A US colleague just warned me that 'AI is reading every word' when I emailed on the current trumpian disasters for US science (indicating it might cause trouble at future US border crossings) Wow, feels like we're moving back to USSR times with self-imposed censorship

I've seen a lot of Python folks getting super excited about `uv run --with ....` and I get it now. In @conda.org world, you can do the same with @prefix.dev Pixi! A colleague wanted me to debug something with PyArrow on my system and all I had to do was: ``` $ pixi exec -s pyarrow python ``` 🤯

Super helpful guide for installing PyTorch using pixi from @prefix.dev prefix-dev.github.io/pixi/v0.39.4... This is point of confusion for a lot of people so it’s great that there is official documentation now.

The Python package sbi is now on conda-forge. github.com/conda-forge/... With @prefix.dev's pixi you can now get a full CUDA environment (pixi.sh/dev/features...) and sbi installed and ready to go in under 60 seconds (maybe under 30) with 3 commands (if you count your text editor as 1).
