ahmadmijot··on The OpenFlexure 3D printable microscope
btw, the OpenFlexure forum link is 404.
ahmadmijot··on Notebooks Are McDonalds of Code
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.
ahmadmijot··on A pure NumPy implementation of Mamba
Can I see your thesis?

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

ahmadmijot··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.
ahmadmijot··on Does anybody remember Google People
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··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.
ahmadmijot··on Replace peer review with “peer replication” (2021)
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··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··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.
ahmadmijot··on YKK: Japan’s Zipper King [video]
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··on Nobody cares about your blog
I don't care if nobody cares about my writing. I just need somewhere to vent.
ahmadmijot··on Longcat
I still have and use an XP background wallpaper with Longcat on it for my desktop background
ahmadmijot··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··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
ahmadmijot··on Pele's Hair
I really thought it was about Pele the footballer's hair!
ahmadmijot··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··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··on How history/tech YouTube channel Asianometry reached 270K subscribers, $5K/month
Also his dry humour here and there!
ahmadmijot··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.
ahmadmijot··on Complete Introduction to Particles in Japanese
True. Currently I'm in the stage of writing my thesis. Grammar is hard. I know and learnt about the vs a vs no particle but I'm still struggling when to use any of them.

(And then there's US Eng vs UK Eng...)

ahmadmijot··on Meta is building an AI to fact-check Wikipedia
Wow, I wonder if this can also be applied to academic papers. Not for detecting plagiarism (there are already tools for that), but for 'improper' (?) citation
ahmadmijot··on Ask HN: Chip startups?
Not chip the microchip manufacturing but the chip in chip design (IC design) space. I'm currently a part of startup in this area.

It's so costly I don't know how other related startups can survive though.

ahmadmijot··on Second-Order Thinking
Second order is good but I think if there's too much n-th thinking level it will become overthinking lol
ahmadmijot··on Imaginary numbers are real
There were some suggestions to change 'imaginary numbers' to 'lateral numbers' but it is hard to do when the name stuck. Naming thing is hard.
ahmadmijot··on Writing my PhD using groff
Can confirm. I use the LaTeX mode in equation editor in Word quite religiously for both equations and symbols.
ahmadmijot··on Fields Medal was never meant for ‘the greatest mathematical genius' (2018)
Just want to ask from a layperson, between Abel and Wolf prize, which one is more 'prestige' like Nobel Prize for mathematics kind of prestige?
ahmadmijot··on Choosing a New Comment Policy
I thought this is about policy on commenting codes.

Maybe he can also get helps from the readers to moderate the comment section by implementing upvote/downvote system like HN, Reddit or Twitter. Or let readers flag troll comments. Enough downvote or flag, comment gets deleted.

ahmadmijot··on The War for Talent (1998)
>"We are competing with startups, not General Electric. There is a whole raft of talent that we simply do not get access to.”

But startups compete with FAANMG. And worse is semiconductor industry, where there is less EE fresh grads than with software engineering fresh grads graduated every year.

ahmadmijot··on How the Chili Pepper Conquered China
I thought that chilli pepper is part of Sichuan culture back in the Three Kingdoms era but I'm surprised on how recent chilli pepper in their cuisine!
