Show Postthis might be true for silicon valley types but as a grad student in a computational field I've found that the time saved with coding agents has let me read more papers and think more about the relevant scientific questions for my project, often literally while Claude is chugging along. it's nice!
Show PostAll four books I've co-authored are freely available online for non-commercial use: - Bayesian Workflow at avehtari.github.io/Bayesian-Wor... Links to other three books are in the quoted post 👇 (too many books to fit in one post!)
Show PostIf you aren't familiar with Zenodo, it's worth learning more about. We have been using it to share data and code for a while and are in general very happy with it. In particular, the pipeline from a Github release to a Zenodo DOI for code is really slick.
Show PostYes. I have not worked in industrial research, only at universities and govt agencies. But I have good friends in biotech, pharma, and Silicon Valley, and the stories I hear from them have done as much as the theory of public goods to convince me of the vital importance of NIH and NSF.
