It is not meant as a complete discussion of Python packaging for scientific software. Some day I’d love to write more about that (because I have so many thoughts and opinions), but in the meantime I’ll direct you to other resources like the excellent OpenAstronomy Python packaging guide, if you want more details. https://dfm.io/posts/extending-jax/ Mon, 11 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://dfm.io/posts/extending-jax/ The primary version of this post can be found on GitHub: dfm/extending-jax This repository is meant as a tutorial demonstrating the infrastructure required to provide custom ops in JAX when you have an existing implementation in C++ and, optionally, CUDA. I originally wanted to write this as a blog post, but there’s enough boilerplate code that I ended up deciding that it made more sense to just share it as a repo with the tutorial in the README, so here we are! https://dfm.io/posts/pymc-tensorflow/ Thu, 02 Aug 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://dfm.io/posts/pymc-tensorflow/ the most ambitious crossover event in history https://dfm.io/posts/travis-latex/ Wed, 12 Jul 2017 00:00:00 +0000 https://dfm.io/posts/travis-latex/ keeping an up-to-date build of your TeX source using GitHub and Travis https://dfm.io/posts/stan-c++/ Thu, 04 May 2017 00:00:00 +0000 https://dfm.io/posts/stan-c++/ The key feature that was missing from PyStan https://dfm.io/posts/aas-hack-day/ Sun, 18 Jan 2015 00:00:00 +0000 https://dfm.io/posts/aas-hack-day/ The wrap-up post from the hack day at the 225th AAS meeting https://dfm.io/posts/python-c-extensions/ Fri, 03 Aug 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://dfm.io/posts/python-c-extensions/ How to roll your own Python modules in C https://dfm.io/about/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://dfm.io/about/ Hi, I’m Dan Foreman-Mackey I’m a Research Engineer at Anthropic in New York City, working on AI Interpretability. Previously, I worked on JAX at Google DeepMind, and before that I was an astrophysicist who developed open source scientific software. Code I write a lot of code for work and in my spare time. All my projects live in public repositories on GitHub. Here are some of my most popular research codes:
