I'm a PhD student in #computational #NeuroScience in Barcelona studying distributed working memory and the likes. Excited for the #neuro community moving away from the bird app but still trying to find everyone on here!

I realized I never did an #introduction!
I'm Grace Lindsay. I'm a new Asst. Prof in #Psychology and #DataScience at New York University. I wrote a popular science book on how & why we use #math to study the #brain.
In my research in my lab I hope to model how #attention works in the brain. I'm also separately working on applications of #MachineLearning to #ClimateChange!

@estelle both my users on my instance are very well behaved. 😉

Apparently we had an earthquake here on Vancouver island a few hours ago. I didn't realize that's what it was at the time. I just thought the dog was shaking the bed. 😀
@fcain I remember my wife being woken by an earth tremor (5 about 200km away) whilst snoozing on the couch - and blaming me for wobbling the couch.

To those putting your amateur radio callsigns in your username or bio: The station address you registered with the FCC is public information. It's in the ULS database, like any other radio license.
This is how I was originally dox'd and it's why I haven't renewed my license. #opsec

if you've ever messed up a dimension or a hole position on something you're building, don't be too hard on yourself.
at least you're not the Cisco design engineer who caused an entire product line recall by placing the mode button (which resets the switch if held) directly above an RJ45 port.

From birdsite:

“We surveyed 442 Twitter employees remaining at the company, and asked them: Do you believe Twitter will succeed under Elon Musk’s management? Eighty-nine percent said ‘no’

A haiku about being an adult:
I am so tired
Where did all my money go?
My back is hurting

(I can't for the life of me figure out how to add alt text after posting. So instead, I'll put the text in the body of the post. I hope that's okay.)
"When people travel to the past, they worry about radically changing the present by doing something small. Few people think that they can radically change the future by doing something small in the present."
@darnell @atomicpoet oh no, you’ve googlekilled it already 🥹
@r000t yes, assume everything you post (and see) on this and most (all?) sites, including meta info (when where ip) is consumable by anyone and anything for all time.
You can anonymise… but can you really? (hint VPN is more like security by obscurity)

Explosions of hot water (geysers) coming from under the thick ice of Enceladus, the sixth-largest moon of Saturn.
@atomicpoet @darnell I’m starting to imagine an app/architecture that sits on top of any and all of these paradigms (twitter, mastodon, instragram, newthing…) and scapes and abstracts them to present things (of your choosing in a way of your choosing) and interact (cross posts as applicable).
Done to the point where people don’t actually know what backends they are really using.

@internetarchive OMG wow. It's been almost 25 years since I wrote this to manage my #diabetes on a #palmpilot. I wrote it in Metrowerks CodeWarror C, and the amount of work to draw a pie chart on a system without floating point OR math libraries was nuts. And flood fills? Good lord

@sanjanah if true, that’s enough to get twitter shutdown immediately in my mind.

Univac removable disk cartridge for Univac computer models 1004 and 1005.
Provided removable random access storage and the possibility of adding up to five slave reader devices.
Mesures: 40x40x1,6 (cm).
Searching in the web I found that it had a 2,2 MB capacity, but the brochure states one million characters (a bit less than 1 MB) and the seller text in the back of the brochure claims 16.896.000 (a bit over 16 MB).
