Please feel free to check out the repo and/or the article. Also, please provide feedback/suggestions.

I tried to make the package easy to use and build on top off. Right now it only supports sincere voting and assumes voter preferences can be described using a 2D spatial model. I compared several electoral systems in several electoral scenarios in one of the notebooks. (3/)

GitHub - mukhes3/electoral_sim: An Open Framework for comparing electoral mechanisms across voter distribution scenarios An Open Framework for comparing electoral mechanisms across voter distribution scenarios - mukhes3/electoral_sim

I have read a few papers on the topic but found it hard to compare different systems. So I built this repo (github.com/mukhes3/elec...) for others like me who might be curious about this topic or those who might be interested in trying out new electoral systems of their own. (2/)

Electoral-sim: A spatial voting simulator for comparing electoral systems I am not a social scientist nor have I professionally worked in scientific disciplines adjacent to those that study electoral systems…

I wrote my first Medium article (medium.com/@sumitmukher...) about an open source repository I created to simulate different electoral systems under different electoral scenarios. It is not my area of expertise but a topic I have long been interested in. (1/)

My heart goes to out to the ordinary people of Iran and Israel for what seems to me, as an outsider, a completely pointless war. I hope this insanity comes to an end quickly. My hear goes out to the civilians in these countries who really didn't want or deserve this.

Today’s home loss to Arsenal makes it even more obvious.

Ancelotti needs to be fired. Real Madrid have just been uninspiring and at times terrible this season.

And beyond some techies casually talking about UBI, it seems there is zero discussion on how we will deal with the economic shocks, even if they are just short term. Wtf are we doing?

I get that many are skeptical about the claims but what is a fact is that regardless of how powerful LLMs will become, companies are already downsizing significantly in a bit to reduce costs by automation. So, the tech job losses are not so hypothetical!!

As more and more tech companies claim that LLMs will make certain classes of jobs unnecessary in a few years, it amazes me that there is little to no discussion on the effects on the labor force/economy and other societal impacts.

With that said, I am very excited to be embarking on a new journey in a new problem space. I have been fascinated by the potential of LLMs in clinical decision support for quite some time now and can't wait to explore this new (to me) research area. :) (end)

I have been incredibly fortunate to get to work with some amazing colleagues during my time at insitro and I am confident in insitro's ability to generate massive pharmaceutical breakthroughs in the near future. (2/)

After 3.5 wonderful years at @insitro.bsky.social where I got to work on many interesting problems at the intersection of genetics and ML, I will be joining Oracle Health on Monday as a Senior Applied Science Manager to work on clinical LLMs. (1/)

I wonder if Bengalis just have less spicy food compared to other parts of India.

So, I am talking primarily about dishes like chicken tikka masala or palak paneer. In calcutta, these dishes have no heat basically. My wife could eat them there but she struggles here. Hell, one restaurant added heat to malai kofta!! I thought it was meant to taste sweet.

South Asian friends living in the US - is it me or is Indian food just way more spicy in the US than it is in India (on average)? If y'all agree with me, why do you think this is? Even dishes that were sweet-ish in India, are somehow spicy here.

Happy Nowruz to all my Iranian friends and whoever else celebrates it. Hope y'all have a wonderful day.

We have a new method, HypotheSAEs, for identifying *interpretable text features that predict a target variable* (aka hypothesis generation).

What features of a headline predict engagement?

What features of a clinical note predict whether a patient will develop cancer?

Congratulations Su-in!! Very well deserved. :)

And, This Is Charlie Kirk | This is Gavin Newsom YouTube video by This is Gavin Newsom

Imma be honest, I didn't really see a Gavin Newsom and Charlie Kirk colab coming: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XJ6...? But then again, there are many things about our political climate in 2025 that I didn't see coming. Might be a me thing.

It's shameful that we have billionaires now feeling empowered to go on highly visible podcasts and say Social Security is a 'ponzi scheme' without explaining a clear alternative that doesn't involve kicking seniors to the curb. Truly shameful!

Yeah, that was a bit of an understatement!!

DOGE's Elon Musk says federal employees must document their work or resign Elon Musk's instructions came after President Trump praised the head of DOGE but would like to see him get more aggressive in reducing the federal government.

Jesus Christ, is this true: www.cbsnews.com/news/elon-mu...? Seems like twitter acquisition all over again. And we all saw how well that went.

Happy valentine's day to my science fam!! Hope y'all keep doing all the great science!! :)

Ugggh ... capitalism!

Pfft …. This is false advertisement!! You are roping people in with the allure of free money and then citing people’s willingness to do the job on a volunteer basis to not pay them.

There's still time to submit an abstract to the legendary Biology of Genomes meeting! Come and present your work alongside the stellar lineup of invited speakers and keynotes. #BOG25

Awesome new paper led by @zmccaw.bsky.social and my amazing colleagues at @insitro.bsky.social !! Great explainer thread below 👇🧪💻🧬
