1/ I made a website so you can quickly make your own minimal CV-like website - particularly useful for academics and students and it’s free! Link: https://t.co/3qTCxk6Z4P 👇

Can AI really cure cancer, or is it more AI hype?

You probably won’t be surprised, but there is a new AI model in town 🤠. These models have enormous potential to accelerate our understanding of cancer.

Here’s why 🧵:

Made quick how-to post for anyone trying to get PyTorch and Triton running on the new RTX 5080 https://t.co/GgD1u2XLyJ

[Luke Taylor @webstorms]

I've been learning to make GPU kernels with Triton and wrote a short blog post on it: https://t.co/t928vEdUbW

I definitely recommend looking at @srush_nlp and @UmerHAdil tutorials to get started!

Nothing quite hits the same like finally hunting down that mysterious bug

Not every optimization problem requires backprop/gradient descent! Short blog-post on Lagrange multipliers for solving constrained optimization problems:

I wrote a short blog-post about conditional expectations, it's a pretty neat little technique: https://t.co/HEN9HBJObd

My PhD thesis is now online! 🎉 Have a read if you are a CS/ML person interested in modelling biological vision or learning more about spiking neural networks: https://t.co/ROQjrm3Kws

5/ I intend for scholarcrafter to be free. If you would like to support the project, please consider donating a coffee ☕ or crypto ₿ https://t.co/vMchxxxB31 - Thank you to @xhfloz and @melissafasol for their support! ❤️

4/ Thank you to the webdev community for sharing their work and serving as a source of inspiration @TheCoppinger @xhfloz @levelsio @marclou. In particular, the scholarcrafter user page is based on the awesome template by @BartoszJarocki.

3/ I ended up revisiting the basics of HTML / CSS / Javascript, and finally found my way to building with @reactjs, @nextjs and @tailwindui - and hosting using @Cloudflare.

2/ I figured having a website is important as a scientist / academic. However, I found most options for making sites to be cumbersome and time-consuming (e.g. modifying code templates & self-hosting). So I decided to learn some webdev to build a more efficient option 🤓.

@BenjoCowley @AToliasLab @ch402 @OxfordDPAG @EmreNeftci @hisspikeness @neuralreckoning @SanderBohte @CastileYin 13/ I'd also be very keen to hear what some of the seasoned critics whose commentary I enjoy reading make of this work *𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 *𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 @patrickmineault and @Kordinglab 😉

[Luke Taylor @webstorms]

1/ Is there a computational reason why excitatory and inhibitory V1 neurons differ in their responses, tuning, connectivity and temporal dynamics? 🤔 In our preprint we show how a spiking V1 model captures these neural phenomena and more under a single principle of prediction. 🧠

Temporal prediction captures key differences between spiking excitatory and inhibitory V1 neurons https://t.co/Z3R3MsIIr7

@BenjoCowley @AToliasLab @ch402 12/ This concludes my final PhD preprint at @OxfordDPAG. Credit is due to those whose work we have built upon, like SGs (@EmreNeftci @hisspikeness) and learned time constants (@neuralreckoning, @SanderBohte, @CastileYin). Thanks to my collaborators @hisspikeness, Andy and Nicol!
