Please share other technical setups for keeping a link blog.

Static Site Generators seem like a perfect fit.

Why not use notion and their website feature with custom domain? It has an extension to clip pages as bookmarks.

You could add it as a subdomain (bookmarks.website.com)

It’s easier to update compared to hosting your own CMS and frontend.

SSG are indeed a perfect fit for this. But you do need to figure out a few things like search (client side), RSS, and how to organize things. I didn't want to maintain a dedicated backend for my blog and integrated a link blog to my static site. Wrote about it here:

Simon's site runs on Django: https://github.com/simonw/simonwillisonblog, which is unsurprising as he is one of Django's co-creators.

But I agree with you, a great use case for a Next.js-esque static site.

I am interested in this. Can you point to a reference about the application of LLMs to sequence secreening? Thanks.

Scaling if context window size has been a problem but now good potential of solutions using mamba.

HyenaDNA is one to look at wrt DNA.

And here are some other interesting links from Erik Garrison—a leader in pangenomics.

Only support for macOS >= 10.14 (Mojave)

Always amazed with the size of these releases - 6GB (!)

They kind of threw in the kitchen sink on this one, and they admit it:

    Platforms
    The iso image again [Ed.: after a while of it not] includes binaries for all platforms. For the last several years, some binary sets had been pruned, but this year, we are not creating a physical DVD as a user group benefit, so may as well include everything again. Also, even a maximimally-pruned image is too large to fit on a single-layer DVD, so no benefit for the 2024 volunteer burners. More info.

"The first version of this document was drafted by my students: …"

So why aren't they listed as co-authors? :-)

They're in the "Acknowledgements" section, which is appropriate for this particular scheme of things. Academia is nothing if not a "street cred" game, and that cred is not portioned out easily (or equitably).

Hope this is an "in progress" article.

Not a single resource or pointer mentioning "ethics"?

Any recommendations on similar materials? I.e. advice on how to manage research.

"How to Take Smart Notes" by Sanke Ahrens.

Even if you decide not to use the Zettelkasten method, this book is still a great read.

Also, any audiobooks about similar topics that are comfortable to listen to?

Currently reading The Sciences of the Artificial? by Herbert A. Simon

"Djot is a light markup syntax. It derives most of its features from commonmark, but it fixes a few things that make commonmark's syntax complex and difficult to parse efficiently."

Three reference textbooks are available openly:

* Introduction to Information Retrieval, http://informationretrieval.org/

* Information Retrieval in Practice, http://www.search-engines-book.com/

* Entity-Oriented Search, https://eos-book.org/

Modern Information Retrieval is also a classic reference. Not openly available but some contents are (were?) available online. Their site seems to be down but the Internet Archive has a copy.

Additional resources here:

* https://nlp.stanford.edu/IR-book/information-retrieval.html http://web.archive.org/web/20220708135205/http://grupoweb.up...

I am biased, but building the Intro to Information Retrieval chapters in your favorite language, bit by bit, is really good to get the feel of the tradeoffs for index capabilities.

Very interesting post.

Where can we find posts like these — e.g. architectural and technological analysis and decisions in real word contexts?
