Another #introduction now that I have my feet under me!
I'm Alanna Smith and I'm a querying #SciFi and #fantasy novelist as well as a #MarvelComics editor, currently working on #CaptainAmerica, #ScarletWitch and other Avengers titles.
I'm also enjoy #knitting and #watercolor painting, and I have two beautiful #cats named Mitch and Tang!
I notice that some #fediverse sites / servers say "Statuses" rather than "Toots" heehee. I dunno if that's a matter of software base, setting, patch, or what, but it pleases me.
("Posts", anyone?)
Hello everyone! I am a #PhD student in #CS at #UCL. I am interested in #AI and #ML. I am also interested in #mathematics and #statistics!
More specifically, I am into #graph neural networks and PAC-Bayes. I am also curious about geometric deep learning, probabilistic modelling, #Bayesian inference and interpretable models.
I'm really looking forward to meeting new people here!

Literally building defenses to protect the vote count. January 6 is not over.
RT @yvonnewingett@twitter.com
Dozens of sheriff's deputies will be stationed at Maricopa County’s tabulation center in downtown Phoenix to “protect everyone and every vote in that building,” Sheriff Paul Penzone said. Officials are also expected to deploy technology, including drones, to monitor the building. https://twitter.com/yvonnewingett/status/1589793248314544128

Quick warning which I've had to learn the hard way:
The "Delete and Re-Draft" feature does not preserve media uploads and their image descriptions, you will lose both on doing so.
Unfortunately I found this out after noticing a typo on a post featuring 4 images, all of which took about 5 mins each to upload, along with fairly detailed descriptions written 😬
I've been around a few days but haven't introduced myself yet, so here goes.
I work as a #Japanese translator, but in my spare time I'm an independent researcher on #history, the #Bible and #religion, especially ancient #Judaism and #Christianity, with a blog (since 2014) and YouTube channel.
My other hobbies include #reading (#SF, #fantasy, and #mystery), #StarWars, #BoardGames, #Lego, #miniatures, #photography, #movies, #weightlifting. #MontrealCanadiens fan. #Mac nerd.
よろしく。

Oh, also #Eris and #Discordianism and #Slack and...
PANSSSAINS! #midjourney v4.alpha (woot! Not what I was working on, but couldn't resist sharing this one somehow.
Wee tip. If you're finding the various mastodon apps a bit of a pain and you're browsing the website using Chrome on Android (maybe it works for iPhone too I don't know), if you click on the chrome preferences tab there's an option to make an app which will put an icon on your main menu. It functions just like an app but with the superior (imo) browser layout.
How did I manage to miss that **infosec.exchange supports FIDO2 security keys**?! 💚
More than five keys are allowed ... and the login MFA step defaults to asking for your key (with other factors offered as fallback).
All excellent - exactly what I'd expect from a security-focused Mastodon.
Only one note - it's not checking for FIDO2 PINs yet - but it's a **great** start!
A consciousness somehow associated with matter.
Posting about culture, philosophy, politics, AI Art Tools, NaNoWriMo, Software Development occasionally, the relationship of consciousness to matter.
Degrees in Philosophy and Computer Science, once had a US TS/SCI(redacted) clearance, radical-for-the-US politics, ex-Libertarian, zen-buddhist-pantheist-atheist.
Google employee, but I do not speak for Google in any way.
If your profile tells me nothing about you, it's less likely I'll follow you (back).
