#introduction I'm Carl Boettiger. I'm a theoretical ecologist and data scientist at Berkeley. I'm interested in #rstats, #openscience, #opensource #python, #linux, & #teaching. Feels lovely to have a timeline instead of an algo once more, & so many friends here!

Hello all! #introduction
I'm a Group Leader at HHMI Janelia Research Campus working at the intersections of #ComputerVision, #MachineLearning, #DataScience, #Neuroscience, #Ethology, #HCI, #SoftwareEngineering. I work on using computer vision, machine learning, and technology in general to help us gain insight into biology. My most cited work involves tracking and behavior analysis of flies and mice. I love algorithms and trying to understand how and when they work and what they're good at. But also I'm an engineer and want to solve problems however I can, regardless of elegance!
I like sunshine, being outside, #climbing, and #crosswords. I dream of someday leaving it all behind and moving to Bishop or Yosemite or the Rockies or something.

@acjay I came here because of the same reasons but on this instance and across the Fediverse I’ve learned many new things and am enjoying it a lot. I hope your experience is great too!

#MastodonClients - Desktop Linux client first impressions:
#Whalebird:
+ (some) keyboard navigation, (some) customization
- heavy (Electron), little bugs (keyboard scroll-down far enough and it randomly takes you to the top of the timeline)
#Tootle
+ Beautiful visual design, quick buttons for favourites, lists, etc.
- No keyboard navigation, archived project (no updates)
#Tokodon
+ Quick to load, everything happens snappily
- pretty barebones, barely any customization
(part 1 of ?)
@davoloid Welcome, I came over on Friday so very new here as well. I am a fellow techie looking forward to learning from and sharing content on qoto!
@benev looks like forbidden ramen. :)

On a "can't believe it" success high!
I couldn't get #ROS2 v4l2 camera node (#Ubuntu 22.04 Server on #RaspberryPi) to pass video, but did manage to build libcamera/libcamera-apps and and a node that passes 10 frames a minute.
I can visually see "what the robot is seeing" to compare with the current rviz2 map topic.
My #GoPiGo3 mounted RPi4 is running 30-40% cpu load, using 700MB memory, keeping a cool 55degC. Everything on the RPi except the visualization apps - rviz2 and rqt-image-viewer.
@josemanuel i guess that means my 3 day old account is part of the old guard 😜
@neurobongo @DrCuff Yeah, all of the above seems true. Whether migrating from mastodon or leaving twitter you are rebuilding. I have 3 mutuals from twitter that I managed to connect with again but the rest are new people to learn and share with. It is bittersweet.
@c_ratcliffe Thank you for the recommendations! That is funny that people would be death metal purists, but I guess when you really like something it is worth defending. There are an amazing amount of subgenres within metal that I could see there being room for debate.
I will start sampling this list! I will be covered for the next many work weeks!
@vern oh well. I did get this one to display with the 2/3 fraction example. I have been told that this only works partially currently. It seems to work better on the web version on mobile for me.
@vern Let me try again [\ \int f(x) dx \]

@derickflorian @misterioss Good day to you, may you overthrow whatever supresses you :)
@misterioss Hello, and time appropriate greetings. Just waking up and getting ready for the day in the eastern US!
@c_ratcliffe What are your favorite #deathmetal bands? I enjoy Amon Amarth!
I am a big pick a song/genre and let the algorithm pick the rest so I have probably listened to more bands but don’t remember names.
