Bayesian analyses are great, but making the right model is very challenging. Come work with me on implementing efficient Bayesian multiverses, where we help researchers across empirical domains to improve their models! More information on the Radboud University website: www.ru.nl/en/working-a...

Please spread as far as you can. My thread of very very stupid questions. Is there something like hugging face for chemical simulations ? I e things like DFT force fields in MD etc ?

Na een lange en chaotische avond, stemde de Tweede Kamer voor de asielwetten van minister Faber. Het wordt zélfs strafbaar om ongedocumenteerde mensen te helpen met onderdak, een maaltijd of kleding. Help ons dit beleid tegen te houden, teken én deel de petitie: groenlinkspvda.nl/petitie/stop...

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

5/ Here is a very simple model, where we estimate the mean of a Gaussian using bamojax. We use Distrax to define probability distributions:

Max Hinne @maxhinne.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

4/ In contrast to deriving a log-density from e.g. PyMC and using Blackjax to sample from it, with *bamojax* you have fine-grained control over individual Gibbs steps, which leads to much more efficient inference.

100

Max Hinne @maxhinne.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

3/ This makes it possible to have *both* fast modelling, and fast inference!

100

Max Hinne @maxhinne.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

2/ Very fast Bayesian inference in JAX is possible through Blackjax, but model development is easier in probabilistic programming languages like Stan and PyMC. *bamojax* provides automated Gibbs sampling, using the different sampling algorithms provided by Blackjax to update individual variables.
