A reminder, if you own your own domain you can quickly setup webfinger like this https://www.hanselman.com/.well-known/webfinger (can just be a static file, or dynamic) so that if someone searches mastodon (use me as an example) for @shanselman then it will call out to my domain, find me, and tell you my aliases, which is my account at hachyderm.io. Cool eh? Should take you just a few min to implement!

hello from the sky over #London this morning. stay strong 💜☀️

The sign contains the following message in portuguese: Please don't take my (little) ball away. If it's on the street, it's because I threw it for people to play with me. Return it through the gate to make me happy. This ball means everything to me. Second pic is the good boi. (by u/Burn0ut_)

Inspired by this, I asked DALL-E 2 for an early 2000s magazine photo of John Mastodon, founder of the Mastodon social network.

“You can’t get a ___________ home on a bike!” (or on foot)

Actually, maybe you can, maybe you can’t (I took this pic in Copenhagen many years ago).

And you don’t buy things like big screen TVs very often, these days most stores deliver, and we have car-share and taxis when we need them.

A brand new goal.

I haven't seen a paper that mixes a task-driven neural network (a la DiCarlo) with anatomical connectome detail, save for the work from Bryan Tripp. It seems like it's an obvious research direction and an important step towards virtual brains. Anybody know of any good work in this direction? CC @neuralreckoning @ShahabBakht

Some bad news about John Mastodon. #JohnMastodon

1) Create a limited number of NFTs.
2) Offer half of them to rubes at $99 a pop. Sell out to create artificial scarcity.
3) Float a small number of the remaining half on an exchange for absurdly high prices, say, $10,000. The punters won’t bite but you can buy them from yourself to support the value.
4) Value your remaining holdings at $10K each instead of $99 each. Presto, you’ve invented tens of millions of dollars.
Now anybody who wants to give you money can buy your NFTs, clean.

We've updated our long-run life expectancy dataset. It now includes the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic.

International poll, so please boost for a wider sample.

How many languages can you read (and, of course, understand!) without the help of an online translator?
