A few months back, I tweaked the FA2 Python library to make it compatible with the latest Python versions and Apple silicon, then released it as a new package called FA2_modified. Just noticed it’s been downloaded over 30,000 times on conda_forge! Grateful to be able to contribute something useful to the open-source community.
I’ve used PyTorch extensively in many different projects, but had never spent the time to look into uncommon behaviours. A few weeks ago, I encountered a strange bug while using Torch distributed learning, and when I narrowed down the issue, it turned out to be a critical bug. I’m happy to be part of the Torch community now.
If you’ve ever worked with force-directed graphs, you’ve probably heard about Python FA2. However, this package is no longer maintained, and due to changes in Cython for Python 3.9+, it cannot run on newer versions of Python. The good news is that I have made it compatible with Python 3.9+ and published it as a Python package! You can find the source code and instructions to install it here 🙂
The murder of Sarina Esmailzadeh during the Mahsa Amini protests at the hands of IRGC forces continues to weigh on my mind. Sarina was a bright, brave, and beautiful teenager with big dreams that were tragically cut short by the Islamic Republic. To preserve her memory, I created an app as a personal tribute to her.
You can see this app on my Github account.
