The fediverse is primarily a place for a bunch of gay furries to debate compiler architecture

I am interested in technology that enables communities to self-govern

Więc mówisz, że kiedyś w komiksach nie było polityki (i tego całego woke)? [Epizod 37]

A pamiętasz, jak w 1973 roku na drodze miłości czarnoskórej pielęgniarki i białego lekarza stanęły uprzedzenia ze strony ich rodzin i znajomych (a historię tę opublikowano w roku, w którym, według sondaży Instytutu Gallupa, związki małżeńskie między białymi i niebiałymi popierało tylko 29% Amerykanów)?

"Young Romance", nr 194., DC Comics.

"Full Hands Empty Heart", scen. Robert Kanigher, rys. John Rosenberger.

I heard a confession from a friend the other day who's working on ML in health care, who's leaving that field as soon as he can, because as best as he and his team can measure, the most important thing ML analytics can bring to hospitals is the mathematical certainty they should have taken the money they spent on ML analytics and hired nurses instead.

Whoever's been doing rain dances lately, you can stop now. No, seriously, you really can stop now. ;)

The #Twitter app updating its branding to #X prompted me to open it for the first time in ages. What struck me is quite how much of #climate Twitter (individuals and institutions) is all still there, tweeting away like it’s 2021. For all the #Guardian and #BBC articles flapping over how much the site is in decline, you wouldn’t know it from my feed over there.

As someone who has more lids than containers and yet still manages to also have containers lacking lids, I would totally attend that event.

Talking to first-time conference attendee who's nervous about social interactions.
My strategies:

1)Line up for coffee, say hi to person behind you. Where are you traveling from? or What do you work on? Safe Qs
2)Patrol posters. ALWAYS someone at poster hoping for interest. It's win-win!
3)Attend networking events, They're made to help you connect!
4)Scan the periphery, where other newbies lurk.
5)Review & adhere to code-of-conduct, get help if someone gets creepy.
And 6)Don't be creepy.

Some remote capture experiments .... and I learned some things. 1 & 2: Gray Catbird, 3: a molting female N. Cardinal, 4: scurrying chipmunk.

Next time:
- I could use a lens with a smaller field of view.
- Arrange the camera and scene such that critters of interest will be on a similar plane, to avoid refocusing.

All Nikon z6ii, 32.00mm, remote capture with CamRanger mini.

Just received word that a publication I've been working on for a decade now was finally accepted, and to a great journal nonetheless. It was the final chapter of my dissertation and one of those projects that was always on the back burner, but I'm happy to finally get it across the finish line. #Academia #ScienceMastodon

Wiedząc, w jak dramatycznej są sytuacji, walczyli z nazizmem i faszyzmem. Za wolność naszą i Waszą. Powstankom i powstańcom należy się szacunek i pamięć.

Cześć i chwała bohaterom i ofiarom!

This is quite a long but thoughtful read from RSPB Scotland, on approaches to managing the increasing risk of wildfires in rural Scotland.

Are we doing better than a factory worker of 1914? Let’s compare wages in the currency of Model Ts.

In 1914, an assembly line worker could buy a Model T with four months’ pay.

Best selling modern car : Toyota_Corolla

Price of Toyota Corolla 2021: $23895

average assembly line worker pay per hour: $17.08

23895 / (17.08 * 40 * 4) = 8.743 months
